Ok, so we have a venue, a growing list of those coming and Dances making lists.
I'm not going to give the address of the venue on this thread, but will put it in the FB Meet up Group and PM those who are not on FB. If you are and are not already in the group, please click the link and ask to be added and we shall do just that - just as soon as you have confirmed that you are coming and have made a payment of £20 to the Meet Up PayPal account.
The £20 will cover food (12-14ish decent sized canapés), anywhere between 2-4 drinks and, most importantly, cake. Depending on final numbers we have yet to decide whether to have a stock of paid for drinks - wine, beer, soft drinks perhaps, followed by a pay bar; or to do tokens of a set value that can be used for any drinks, again paying once you have used your tokens up.
The venue is just south of the river, next to Tower Bridge; BIWI, Pistey and I selflessly went and checked it out last week and it is lovely, great position and with easy transport to all London main line stations. Tube wise it has Northern Line, Jubilee Line and Circle/District lines running very close by.
With regard to food, when you have paid (please PM me or Pistey for the PayPal details as, again, I don't want to publish it for the world to see), could you please let me know any dietary requirements - allergies/vegetarian etc so that I can finalise the menu accordingly a couple of weeks before the bash.
Accommodation - we are hoping to sort out a group rate at a Travelodge, so if you are in need of a bed for the night, please do let me know and we can add you on to our list.
I will C&P the list of who is coming after this post. If you are coming and are not on it, please add yourself.
I think that's everything..... Any other questions, just let me know and I will, hopefully, be able to answer them.
When meeting up take sensible precautions. Meet in a public place and let others know where you are going.

Not sure HQ would come to a bunk house with random MN's farting in the hot tub... Still could enlist the help of imposters 
No really I've stayed in one with a beautiful outside hot tub, log fires and leather sofas - I've stayed in some lovely ones - don't ask me where though!! They are all mostly a drunken blur 
.
This reminds me I actually had a life once :).
Anyway I'm being too bossy as I won't be there (although I could give birth in a hot tub.
Come to Brighton.
Farting will be the least of your problems 
.
Tufty - hey I won something today - a nice big parcel from the Bisto stock melts tester thread. With some risotto rice, three bulbs of garlic, two recipes, and three very nice fancy stirrers - and 6 little pots of veggie stock melts ( plus 2x the same non-veggie which I'll pass on to a friend )
So, now I'm planning a mushroom risotto and my usual noodle stir-fry and see what difference they make. More salty and slightly more flavour I'm guessing - but that's OK as DC's getting a bit older now, so I wouldn't mind getting away from bland plain and simple all the time.
Anyway, hope you'll get lucky with something soon Tufty ...
< who said "stirrers - very suitable" ? I heard you >
This thread is filling up and we haven't made a decision about Crimbo yet but we're busy talking 'bout farts
Someone make a decision FFS!
