London Xmas Do - 22nd November!!!!! Come see here for details and final sign up!

[Flamesparrow]

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?

Please sign up FOR THIS DATE AND VENUE here:

the well - I'm not sure if CD checked that one out and it was booked or summat... can't get hold of NG atm

Albert & Pearl - someone suggested - used to be Medicine Bar

I have a list of numbers. Our list of requirements. I am going to go for a poo (tmi I know), and then start phoning the list.

If you have any more suggestions or preferences then yell.

I am getting to the stage of wishing no-one had heard about Dust shooting and just leaving it to luck!

Ooh good woman

Well the number for Ditch doesn't work. I have sent emails/left messages with the first 2 places... onto the 4th...

with above disclaimer

ooh the well is booked, but they have a new venue opening - sending me info

Ooh ooh ooh - stop googling Zippi!

The woman at The Well was lovely.

She is emailing me the info. The new place is about 10 mins walk from there (not sure where that is in relation to anything else til I get the details).

Tis our budget.

Is shut on Saturdays so it is all OURS.

The dj/ipod set up again.

It will be all shiny having been open for just a month.

Anyone else thinking this sounds like a winner??

Ortega looks good too

She did sound nice

I keep refreshing my email desperately waiting for this stuff! Does she not KNOW hormonal women are waiting??
