Believe it or not we're soon to be fifteen years of age and we're going to have a bit of a pardee to celebrate. We'd like to invite 15 Mumsnetters to come and celebrate with us.

The event is in central London (near Brick Lane) on Wednesday the 11 March from 6.30 to 9pm, so if you are in the area and would like to stop by, meet some of the team and some other special guests, please post below and we will pick 15 lucky winners out of the hat on Friday the 27 February.

And now for the small print:
Please make sure you are free on the 11th and able to get yourself to central London before posting and you also need to be happy to have you photograph taken and used on the site.

Here are the highlights from our Tenth birthday party

@FruChristerOla

I'm also a tad confused that the event is on the 11th March, but names will be picked out of a hat on the 27th March Confused

Blush Well spotted! Have edited that now.

@roisin

I don't want to come to the party, but just checking: is 11 March 2000 your founding day? I thought it was slightly earlier.

According to my profile, I joined in July 2000. I know ds2 was a baby at the time: he now towers over me and is sitting his GCSEs this summer!

Well it's all a bit of a blur if I'm honest. Conception was definitely early November 1999 (Florida holiday). Roped in Tech who started work on site on return from that. Company registered I think in January 2000 (will check though), site launched in march 2000....

@IAmAPaleontologist

Surely this is the sort of thing you should be using to boost your slightly dead to be honest local side by getting local editors to organise a party in their area.

I'm just a baby in MN year, been here around 8 and a half years. I'm not even sure we had internet at home when you launched!

Very good thought - we could have 15th party's up and down the country couldn't we...

Re presents, possibly not. But I can promise you very naice cocktails & canapes and quite possibly Bojo (Sorry for all you Katie H fans, she didn't quite make the cut Wink).

Turns out we launched beta site on March 12th, so bang on nearly. Before that we had a holding page up from some time in Jan, but it didn't do much other than say watch this space.

Still time to throw your name in the hat...
