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:

I won't be committing to this (or not) until last minute I'm afraid (ds only 6 days old and currently feeding all evening), so better consider me on the reserves list only.

Flamesparrow · 16/10/2008 21:10

I know I have you & MRM on your own separate section of my list (she can't commit til she knows birthdays)

HRHSaintMamazon · 16/10/2008 21:13

well the zoom bit is stuck so wont work. im sure if you know what your doing you could fix it but it's beyond me.
i took iot to the shop but they said it would cost more to fix than to bu a new one

they sell on ebay for spares or repair for about £20 so if it does i can use that to pay for the meet. wont be able to afford it otherwise.

Flamesparrow · 16/10/2008 21:13

Hoping it sells

SixSpotBonfire · 17/10/2008 10:30

ps have emailed you to get details of how to pay

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 11:08

Flame £1200 minimum! Oh crikey.

That will be tricky if there's only 20 of us.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 11:22

I would invite some of my friends if we are short on numbers as I know they can spend a fair bit at the bar!

But I wouldn't have as much fun if I did, I'd rather not.

We need a drive to get people signed up!

cremolafoam · 17/10/2008 11:30

we could start a thread to ask (nicely )people for their money and get MN to sticky it or to take their names off the list( pretty please)

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 11:44

oops I have just realised I haven't even paid (slaps self)

I'll email you now.

cremolafoam · 17/10/2008 11:52

ROFL DWP

CountessDracula · 17/10/2008 11:59

oh me neither
whoops
I will pay for me and sophable

can you send me your bank a/c details countessdrac at gmail dot com and I will trf today

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 12:00

Well at least I realised before I started a thread such as

'Come and confirm and pay for the xmas meet you fookers'

I thought I'd sorted it, but actually have paid the deposit for a work xmas do and got confused.

Flamesparrow · 17/10/2008 12:06

It will all be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Oddly enough, I am not panicking about this as much as I probably should be

OP posts:
TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 12:12

What happens if we don't make up the minimum?

Do you want to put down some more peoples credit cards as guarantees so it doesn't all fall on you?

(wonders if she is underestimating our wine spending power)

Flamesparrow · 17/10/2008 12:19

I am going with the theory that if we are miles off minimum me, Nappiesgalore and Psycho are gonna be getting wasted

With 40 people, we will get £800.

If 20 of those 40 spend £20 on drinks (London prices, alcohol... not hard to do!) we hit the £1200 mark.

Tis really just a case of harassing everyone and convincing them they do want to come...

At least some of MNHQ are meant to be coming (need to harass them again for numbers and payment), and they are lushes

OP posts:
Flamesparrow · 17/10/2008 12:19

Oh and if it is completely tits up, then I am nominating myself for the xmas appeal

OP posts:
SixSpotBonfire · 17/10/2008 12:20

Now that I have signed up, there will be a stampede....

In the other direction, probably .

Flamesparrow · 17/10/2008 12:22

If you tell people who you were, it helps I feel so much happier now I know who you were

OP posts:
TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 12:23

Oh okay, that makes sense then.

I was going to ask about mnhq. But it's not like they need the PR is it

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/10/2008 12:23

lol at xmas appeal.

SixSpotBonfire · 17/10/2008 12:37

Hmmm

Maybe I should change my name back.

Or amalgamate the two - SixSpotDinosaur?

DinosaurBurnet?
