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.

Pah! Hope you have a LOVELY time

Mintyy · 10/08/2012 22:21

Thinking of changing name to BitterMinty

FrankWippery · 10/08/2012 22:26

I think that would be a far more apt name tbh.

Paypal is fecking with my mind. Apparently I hve to check for a code on my statement in a couple of days. I am sure Idid this already...

JugglingWithFiveRings · 10/08/2012 23:48

I had to give myself a new password as - as usual - I'd forgotton the old one partly because they insist on it being so fancy and complicated that no-one can remember it ! But having jumped through that hoop I think I might be a fully paid up member for the night in question ... and secret location has been revealed to me by agent Frank ... so just waiting now with nervous anticipation Grin till darkness falls .... dn, dn, DN !

BellaVita · 11/08/2012 11:18

Wine from flight VS093 to Cancun!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 12/08/2012 19:19

It's gone very quiet here. Has everyone buggered off to exotic parts?

DancesWithWoolsEnPointe · 12/08/2012 19:36

For those looking for rooms - AnnieL has got an offer of a family room (officially 3, unofficially 4) for the London Central Travel Dodgy (Southwark) for £70. Not sure any group rate is going to beat that. She got it through hotels4u.com, and its a mile from the venue. I suggest people find room mates and charge ahead.

AnnieLobeseder · 12/08/2012 19:42

Nope, straight from Travelodge website. Hotels4u was unhelpful this time.

putri · 12/08/2012 23:41

I plan on coming!

JugglingWithFiveRings · 13/08/2012 09:48

See you there putri ?!

putri · 13/08/2012 11:18

Yup! I just need to figure out my PayPal :)

FrankWippery · 14/08/2012 09:09

Bloodyfurious, will PM you shortly, but thank you for your message, and yes I get the clues! Hope you're ok and it will be lovely to see you there.

Triplets - absolutely, will be posting updated list in a minute.

Everyone else....Those of you who have said that you are coming can I please bully you for pennies. I have to go to the bar this week to pay the deposit and don't want to stump up the cash myself (obvs).

Thank you all.

Frank I'm still waiting for my palpal account to work, set it up last Fri. If there is any other way I can pay more quickly I am happy to do so. Smile

FrankWippery · 14/08/2012 09:19

It's alright Elephants, if it comes to it by Friday I can give you my account details and you can transfer it direct to me (assuming you're happy to do that obviously!) and I can tick you off.

OP posts:
ElephantsCanRemember · 14/08/2012 09:32

Thankyou Frank I am desperate to pay so I can't back out Grin
