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:

Payment details again

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

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!

Sheik, I have a room booked that you can share if you want.

Nothing fancy, but cheap.

Stayed in the same hotel last year.

SheikYerbouti · 09/10/2008 20:31

stg! Excellent! I'm at work on mobile internet at the mo. I'll send you a message on FaceBook tomorrow if I may. I just need help getting there now!!

SaintGeorge · 09/10/2008 20:35

Chat to you later

eandz · 09/10/2008 20:37

are newbies who plan on being on mumsnet for a while allowed? or do i need to establish a reputation on mumsnet first?

Flamesparrow · 09/10/2008 20:39

Anyone can come

Haven't you been here a while anyway eandz???

OP posts:
eandz · 09/10/2008 20:43

i've been around since feb. (i think) ... i'm under the impression that you have to be on here for like a year before you've earned mn cred.

eandz · 09/10/2008 20:44

but if not, then i'm coming .

Flamesparrow · 09/10/2008 20:49

nah, you're fine - tis about meeting people, not being cool

OP posts:
SuperPsychoFabioSaver · 09/10/2008 20:53

EandZ.................I went last year when I had not been on MN for about 10mths

I was remembered

and now I am more addicted that ever

SheikYerbouti · 09/10/2008 20:53

i'm coming, I've been here nearly 4 years and I am still uncool. I have as much cred as Ro-Land from Grange Hill.

eandz · 09/10/2008 20:55

ok, i'll be there. i'll go look back about sending in payment and all that other info.

SaintGeorge · 09/10/2008 20:57

Dear lord, if they made cool a requirement I would lose all the dosh I have spent on hotel, train and flamey's bank account the meal.

Flame, have replied on FB

PillockOfTheCommunity · 09/10/2008 21:44

I got a bit confused by eandz there, it's eandh who has been around for years
(psst, might want to think about changing it a bit eandz, it could get very confusing otherwise!)

Now, where's that DanJARMouse??????

Oooh, and is the nearest tube station still the same?
