Is the meet expected to go on well into the evening? If so, are there many who have booked to stay over night? Thanks, Jacky

Hi Jacky I believe several have booked to stay overnight but your best bet might be to email Steedie direct through GR to ask. Daisy

Thanks Daisy. :-)

Hiya Can I borrow Jacky's thread and ask a question about Saturday aswell? I'm thinking about coming up to London on Saturday and going to the FRC in the morning to have a nose through the census's and then (fingers crossed) meet everyone at Victoria station. Is there food being laid on at the pub or is everyone just ordering from the pub food menu? Just so I know if 1) I can afford to come and 2) If I need to pop into Burger King before the meet :-) Ta Karen

Karen, The plan is to eat in the pub - no need for BK. I'm staying overnight, as are Rick and Jan, not sure about others.

I was wondering what happens after the food as well, will the pub throw us out at a set time or are we there for the duration? I am coming down to London on the train and need to book my return times and not sure what time to go for, any ideas more than welcome...as long as they are polite ;-))) I am really looking forward to finally making it to one of the Gc meets and putting faces to all your names.

Yvette Don't really know as some will stay on into the evening. I do know that Bec has to leave to go to Manchester at 5pm and I'm going to leave late enough so that my lot have to cook their own dinner! Look forward to seeing you. Daisy

Thanks Daisy, Strump and Grampa Jim, thats solved my query. My husband was hoping i would be on my way about 6pm as its going to take me a couple of hours to get home, so i can book my ticket for around then. He wanted to come with me but has to work so he is (not so quietly) sulking at the moment, lol Strump, are you still thinking of badges? cos if so i will need one please. Yvette

we are coming by train and will be leaving about 6pm susie

Is anyone travelling from Birmingham / Solihull area? Jacky

The Limo is picking us up at 5(ish) Jack <feeling like royalty> x
