Me too to attend
Wilco that Chris.
I would have been a bit worried if it had been any other way.
All the stuff I ordered from the Oberst for the event has turned up at last.

We will make sure we keep you a place at the table Rich, never fear.
We go into September tomorrow which means its getting close now.. permission to get a little excited?
Granted
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
As we are approaching the great day who is likely to be there on Friday night?
Mary & I should get there about 17.30 so if anyone is a round a drink may be in order at a local Officers Mess

Coming down is the hardest thing
I will be about all day on Friday (being as I only live 5 minutes from the venue).. so closer to the day I will publish my phone number and act as 'Liaison Officer' for the day, so if anyone gets lost or wants to meet up for a few drinkies I can help out
If Andrzej's flight is on time, he, myself, and Eileen should be there by that time. where are you staying?
Rob.

I have inquired about parking stuff on the Friday night - we would probably need to drop it before they close up (although that is something of a moveable feast) I will make the necessary arrangements, as for the 'wire,' from what I remember of the rooms I think that should be feasible.
I have secured us plenty of space at a local venue for anyone that wishes to kick the weekend off early by flying a few missions on the Friday night (until as late as we like actually)...
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
My intention is to be up around 4 ish, I'm bringing up Dave Manley also, staying at Doncaster Central East Premier Inn, but I'm more than happy and willing to meet up for a natter, food , beer and Port and not in that order, when we get there

I aim to be there mid-late afternoon Friday, traffic permitting
Sounds as if we have a goer then Chris.
Rob.

I will inquire if there is a bar on that weekend - if not ASDA is open 24 hours so we can take our own...
Might be able to rustle up a designated driver if required - although its only a £5 taxi
How much do they charge for a lorry, Chris? I can picture the whole gang singin' in the back!

Received the badges this morning, look quite snazzy in my opinion.
Can I take this opportunity just to remind all attendees, as we are so close.
Cost of the venue will be collected on the day, this is so we can see how many and divide the cost equally, so bring some spare cash.
The badges will be available to anyone on a first come basis, upto the total I have, currently I have around 22 allocated, cost will be £4 each.

Count me in for a badge to if there are still enough available.
Around fridaynoon I'm arriving in London Pancras Station with the Eurostar. From there I'll be taking the train to doncaster. How can I best plan this? Is there a website I can use?
Really looking forward to this event. After beeing grounded for a long time I'll finally have some WOG time again. Combine that with meeting some of the most fantastic people here on the forum!
This may be a starting point for you Thomas.

I intend getting there early Friday afternoon to avoid the worse of the Friday traffic.
So whats the traffic likely to be from East midland Airport up the M1 and then onto the M18 for Doncaster on a Friday at 4.30/ 5.00pm? its only 80 miles

Hi Peter, the list you ask about is only reservations for the Pin badge.
There are at least another half dozen attending , approximately 24 members have said they will be turning up for the event at my last count.
This week we shall be reminding members of the event and see if we can get more.
In any event we have lots of games to play and plenty of hot air to expell.
I look forward to meeting you and your good lady there
Chris
