Right, so some voting (for dates), and some venue checking has been done, and Me n NappiesGalore have made executive organising planning decisions (based on us having little time and few options )

Saturday 22nd November

Dust Bar (website here)

Nearest Tube Station - Farringdon

It will be canapes, so if you want more food, eat beforehand.

The canapes are being chosen for us - they will be clearly labelled as meat, fish, veg and will allergy advice.

The music we can bring a dj, ipod with playlist set up or have music piped up (music is a very varied mix so should suit everyone). We can use any/all of those options.

Music is quieter at bar end, plus we will have volume control.

They have some fabulous sounding shots

Price will be £20 per head max. I will phone tomorrow to find out when they need final numbers for food etc, and when we have a more accurate numbers list, I can work out the right cost - it WILL NOT be more than £20. If we end up paying more than is needed, then obviously I will buy a new dress divide it up and refund people OR put it behind the bar - whatever you think is best.

How's it all sound?

DrHorrible · 13/09/2008 13:02

Bump for more people to come play with us!

Rhubarb · 13/09/2008 13:36

I might be able to go, I'll have to check the train times though.

PillockOfTheCommunity · 13/09/2008 19:10

you might be a bumpkin JARM but I just live here, I'm a Kent girl at heart

and what do you mean all the way ???? It's only just over an hour on the train!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 13/09/2008 19:12

oh, and that's not exactly true, the last direct tube link to where we're leaving the car is at 00:07, but if you want to leave a little bit later we can get the night bus

SaintGeorge · 14/09/2008 19:03

Email sent to Flame re payment CHECK
Train ticket booked CHECK
Hotel room booked CHECK

That's me committed then (lay off the corny jokes).

DrHorrible · 15/09/2008 17:30

Bump

Payment by Oct 31st at latest (earlier means you can forget you spent it )

So payment details!

£20 per head

Paypal is [email protected] - when it gives you the payment types, please select "other" and then "gift" to avoid me paying your fees. If I am charged fees I will be asking for them back!

Email: [email protected] if you want to pay by cheque, bank transfer, cash or nochex and I will give you the details (Nochex will incur a fee)

The sooner you pay, the sooner you can forget and then not have to worry about no money at the time

whoops · 17/09/2008 12:42

Flame I'm going to pay at the end of this month if that's ok!
Looking forward to it now so hoping Snorris doesn't do anything daft!

SheikYerbouti · 17/09/2008 16:06

I shall be paying as soon as I know what YIAM is doing. She isn't sure, she is going to let me know.

I might have to have a hand holder after all I'm also up for a room share. I don't fart.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 19/09/2008 17:37

Come Sheik.

Though I may flounce after my brilliant choons thread was largely ignored

SaintRobertNewton · 19/09/2008 17:40

I have already arranged my hotel room, but if anyone is stuck for a share it is a twin and cheap.

CountessDracula · 19/09/2008 19:54

PPH has just told me she is in!
