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:

About the music:

  1. Music

We have a very sophisticated sound system at The Hat and Tun which allows for the following:

CDs: we can play CDs from our wide collection or you can bring your own;
IPOD: you can bring your own IPOD/laptop and plug into our system;
DJs: you can bring your own DJ or we can supply one. We can arrange for a full PA system to be hired in.

theSuburbanDryad · 13/10/2008 19:11

TDWP - we can always form some kind of protective circle around you, and hit any aggressors with flaming sambuca.

Would also double as an impromptu zombie plan, should the worst happen...

BloodshotEyeballsintheScarySky · 13/10/2008 19:34

Why the buggering bollocks didn't I book the Travel Lodge when I first signed up for this? It was £24 then. Now it's £81. Bastards

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 19:44

I'm coming.

I fear nothing.

Pity the fools etc etc

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 13/10/2008 19:53

eyeballs...that is a huge leap

TDWP...

eandz · 13/10/2008 19:58

good, well thats sorted. shall we have the updated list posted so far?

FlameCod · 13/10/2008 20:39

£20 is going to be more than the canape costs (I don't know how much by), but there IS a minimum spend (which we will easily cover with canapes and drinks) which will be guaranteed against MY credit card.

SO

We have a choice - either I fiddle about with refunds after the event.

OR

I put it behind the bar to be used from say 9pm onwards which should mean everyone gets at least one drink out of it.

I have made a poll here for you to vote on!

BecauseImAWitch · 13/10/2008 20:43

Ooh - I was the first to vote!

eandz · 13/10/2008 22:12

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 13/10/2008 22:47

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 14/10/2008 12:37

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 14/10/2008 15:33

I won't be in boden.

I will probably be in jeans and a sparkly top (well, not really sparkly, I mean NEW), and snazzy shoes, of the kind I can dance in.

and I will be bringing several new scarves too, so that mars does not nick my one and only like she did last year
