Kent meet - 28/03/08, Canterbury.

[Struggling_Simon]

I'm in.

 

I have no preference as to venue,don't know the town well enough.

I'll let the ladies have the choice.

 

Let me know where and at what time, I'll be there.

[tiglet]

How about the Old Buttermarket? (It's practically opposite the Cathedral Gates, so Bookie can find it.)

[Bookworm]

You heathen.

[tiglet]

And???

[dave]

Well, If Dave is coming, you want somewhere where they have plenty of stock!

 

Cheek! I'm teetotal!

[tiglet]

And I'm a born again Christian.

[djdave]

Turns out I'll be "ooop North", so hopefully I can make it another time.

 

Have a drink for me!

[tiglet]

Will do.

[sillygirl1]

This is for the Friday evening I take it? I will have to check on trains to see what is available, or find a b&b for the weekend....

[tiglet]

Trains are pretty good - there are also some cheap B&B's.

[dave]

I can put a couple of people up if needs be. I have one spare bed and a couple of sofas if it helps.

[sillygirl1]

Thanks Dave, I think I will take up your offer as it will make more sense to do a weekend here, Friday night and going home Saturday evening - I've only ever been via Canterbury on a coach or train, never actually stayed there.

 

I don't mind a sofa as I sleep on a Futon bed anyway... I will check up on trains later on.

[sea-sidelady]

Will Dave and mrs Dave be getting a puppet show??

[dave]

Yep - I even have the punch and judy set!!

 

Nah - seriously, everyone is welcome to stay at mine - like I say, I have 1 full size single bed, one slightly shorter bed (about 4 foot!!!), and a full size sofa and a 2 seater sofa.

 

We can get some blow up beds too if needed.

 

email me (dave@consumeractiongroup.co.uk) if you need somewhere to stay.

 

Canterbury is about 15 miles from my house, so shared taxi's etc.. would be a lot cheaper than B&B's..

 

 

(plus, I make a fantastic fry up in the mornings!!, and the local farm shop - with fresh eggs, bacon etc... is fantastic! Smells of poo though when they 'spread' the fields - but hey, that's Kent for you! ;-) )

[sillygirl1]

I can bring my puppets along, they are doing Karaoke this weekend in a local pub (by request - some pub managers won't let me in with them, others love them).

 

It sounds as if it is going to be a good trip, SSL, I am working on your pink hat this weekend as I've finished one of my commissions,should be done for Sunday.

[tiglet]

That's unfair - I won't be getting a fry-up the next morning!

Im gutted i cant get to this one, but it is too far, and im trying to stay at home for more than 2 weeks at a time.

 

I cant wait to get my hat. Do i still get my happy socks???

[Bookworm]

Dave, me bagsy the full-size single bed! (prevailing myself of my 5'11 and bad back )

[dave]

Duly bagged!

[dave]

Ooooh - we might be getting a B&B in Cant. now ourselves.

[Bookworm]

Heyyyyy . Miss B., he promised us a mean breakfast!!!

[dave]

Errr...I actually said that I MAKE a good fry up - I promised no fry up to anyone!! ;-)

[Bookworm]

You TEASE!

[MilkTrayMan]

Is this Meet still on??

Where is there a list of those interested??

Am working Friday Day shift + off until Saturday Night so the timing of this Friday is near enough perfect for me + is VERY do-able!

(Btw...Have NEVER been to Canterbury before, so could I still wear my hairshirt??... )

Would it be Canterbury West or East Train Station I'd be best arriving at??

Details of any cheapo accomodation would be very handy also.

So long as the place keeps out the elements, I'm not fussed about the decor/comfort.

Soooo many questions in ONE Post eh?...lol

Let's have some answers asap peeps please

...There's a very thirsty person here who wants to know!!!

...

[sillygirl1]

I can come on Friday, also have a party on the Saturday (belated Xmas party...). I did bag a bed earlier on (or sofa or futon) so is that still available?

 

I am having a quiet weekend this weekend to compensate. Apart from shifting stuff between garages, clearing stuff from my room to garage and visiting the local tip....
