Wooo yay!

I do have a question for the Jocketts though:

As Pete is now confirmed as coming, have you got a biohazard permit for his arse and will gas masks be supplied as part of the package (or as extra cost), or do we have to raid ebay/surplus shops for our own? :P

Jock, should we all head towards the Poulton train station as usual, or is there a better one to aim for?

Are any of you bummers bringing partners to this one? I'm in two minds myself. I know Mrs Tandino will get on with anybody, but I don't want to bore her with gamery (it's something she understands but doesn't get involved in), nor do I want her to feel excluded in any way. What do you chaps think?

I'm unsure also, thinking no, on the basis she doesn't know exactly how wrong I am yet.

I'm contemplating! Will be a laugh for sure. If I (and possibly mrs prof (don't hold your breath, its a hard sell!)) can make it, I won't know until nearer the time. Work / Monies are rather unpredictable at the moment, so difficult to plan too far ahead.
Will be there if I can though! :ahoy:

I'll be driving from Cov, so I can do that no problem. I have days either side of the weekend off work, so won't be in any rush and can time it so traffic isn't too bad. Prob be handy if I could get you both from one location, but it's not critical. We'll have to hear from Jock about the times stuff is starting/finishing before planning in more detail, it seems to be taking him a long time to get home.

Might be practicing the Rhythm Method and pulling out early. Maybe. Possibly. Not definite as I really want to come up to Blackpool, but there may be an important shindig in Portsmouth sometime during that week. Hopefully it'll all work out well and I just have a busy week and the two events don't clash.

IF I do have to pull out, but stuffs already been paid for, I'll happily reimburse the amount, least I can do if I can't get there.


Bonza. Busy week.

Hell or High water commitment from me. Anybody passing Liverpool would be gratefully offered petrol money in return for bumming a lift. I don't imagine Mrs Tandino will be coming as, owing to her being a teacher, days off are hard to come by outside of college holidays. Two questions follow:

1) Do we get our own rooms?

2) Is it the hotel from The Shining?

Who else is driving, definately coming and from where? Berk's not too far from me, so can grab him if need be.

If Berk can get to Bham New Street / Moor Street, then you can grab us (Me, Tezz, Berk) all at once from somewhere convenient.

The centre of Birmingham isn't at the top of my list of relaxing driving locations, somewhere quieter would be nicer, but don't sweat it if that's not possible.

Wouldn't it be easier for you lot to meet at Brum International's station?

I know it's a piece of piss to get to from Coventry for FJ, and it's also closer for the Berkotron.

That would be really handy if you all could. About £2 from New Street/Lea Hall and £10 from Leicester - both less than what it would cost in petrol to come get you and pretty much on the way.
