    Anyone want to stay here and agree to share a cab? Should be fairly cheap between 3/4 of us

    I am now officially coming to this!!!!

    As it's on my door step, I will have a proper read later and advise where i can that Travel Lodge on the M4 is miles out, will cost over £50 in a taxi if one will take you that far out on a busy Saturday night

    Good work Ryan

    It's going to be epic,

    For those not on FB I've got a huge number of people coming to this and it looks like a maximum of about 40 spaces so it'll be first come first served on the payments to guarantee a space

    Just renewed my membership, booked travelodge and sent payment for the meal

    I'll have:
    Paté
    Lamb Shank (what no turkey!? It's Christmas FFS! )
    White Choc cheesecake

    Should be good fun, just to organise how to get there/back now, see how far the train station is, else I'll drive and be hungover heading home the next day

    Yeah I suppose someone willing to go that far could be a problem
    I was just thinking based on cost as £24 a room and then share a cab between 4, even at £50 for the cab makes it cheaper than all the other options

    Just for the benefit of the menu tarts (Kev Kev, Noo Noo and Jules) I will get a simple option for those who don't fancy posh grub. I'm off to Bruges in a few hours so I'll check the Paypal account when I get back and get this updated ASAP when I get back

    I think there's going to be massive shortage of spaces when this comes to the crunch

    Oops keepforgetting about this! will sort it soon,got the calendar to vote on tonight! Where does time go lately? (:

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!
