***************The Big London Xmas Meet****************

[Mamazon]

Ok.
WE really need to get this sorted if we are to hold a party this year.
As it seems i've somehow managed to volunteer to organise it we figuered we'd just go back to the Hat & Tun as last year's do was so succesfull.

We have a preliminary date of the 28th November.

Last year everyone paid £20 towards venue hire and food ( which was delicious) so if everyone is agree'd we will just do that agin this year.

so if everyone that is interested in coming could PLEASE list your names on this thread so that we know this will be a viable event.

otherwise i need to phone pizza hut and book a booth

Oh and i don't know how you make threads sticky but if someone does....could they?

TheLadyEvenstar - sorry I haven't replied before, our broadband has been doing funny things the last few days.

Elephant&Castle is pretty much the opposite end to where I'm coming from as am North London. I do know though there's a direct bus from the Elephant to Farringdon which only takes about 10-15 mins. Which mode of transport are you most comfortable with? Am sure there will be other MNetters travelling up from that way...?

I won't know anyone, unless I recognise another mum from the park or DD's playgroup or somewhere - which would be kind of embarrassing although am not sure why!

Really sorry, but can't make it now, DH is working that weekend so no babysitter for DD. Was starting to get excited as well

Will take my name off the list to prevent confusion

Ooh have come over all timorous now after my bold statement below. Is anyone heading in via Waterloo at all? On the Woking/Weybridge line?

Will have to get DH to do paypal as he does all that stuff (waves hand airily).

Also, what time does it tend to end? Am thinking may be cheaper to book a mini cab rather than stay over at a hotel- although would get a nice lie-in in the morning, I suppose.....

We're still doing badges with our MN names, aren't we? Remember there were some very clever ones last time I went.

badges, badges!!!!

Can i make one big enough to hide behind?

Where are the payment instructions? Does it have to come through paypal? Or can I just whiz you an online bank transfer?

£20 which is payable to paypal account

Riven I can go in tomorrow and ask them if they have a ramp and if they haven't I'll ask them to get one by 28th November OR ELSE the wrath of the vipers nest will be upon them LOL

oh gawd we gotta make our own badges???

Now we should have a theme for the badges....lol

My theme is my nickname... so look for an owl.

Pity. There's a great video game pictyure you could use.

I'd LOVE to come, but how does it work? Sorry for being thick / too lazy to read the whole thread.

How do I get cash to you?
Do I just show up on the night?
Do we wear name badges?
What happens on MN afterwards - I mean, once we all know each other's real names/occupations etc? is it weird?
Will anyone actually talk to me?

Questions...

Perse i will talk to you as i am going to be sat in the corner reading my take a break or thats life magazine lol.
