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.

There might have been a mumsnetter gliding around with a Justine MNHQ badge on...

Yeh, I think so - but don't take my word for it, I only said "hello" briefly whilst I was saying goodbye to marriedinwhite

Even better if it was knotty in disguise (no offense Justine)

It was all rather overwhelming for a fishbrain like me Smile

Especially with some people wearing mis-leading badges, and others mysteriously going by their RL names and just saying elusively "oh, I name-change quite often" No wonder I was confused Confused

Hully!





Knotty is dark, pithy and beautiful. She reminded me of a fucked off helena bonham carter for much of our chat. Justine veers more towards the magnificent but in fairness buys me drinks more often than knotty.
Well one drink. Once.

Knotty is of medium build, and has a spectacular head of knotty locks which were held up in a crocodile clip. She had her name on a conference style lanyard and someone (genuinely not me) decided it was a good idea to write Justine MNHQ on the back in kohl pen Smile. Pistey's said Helen MNHQ. It was all going well until the real Helen showed up Grin

I think my moment of the night (boris bike ride aside) was realising Getorf is a 20 something super model.I so did not see that one coming. What does this say about me? Hmm

If she was a fucked off Helena Bonham Carter had someone mentioned Davey-Piggle or The Daily Mail?
