Advance tickets for November could go on sale from as early as Next week. Just checked today and East Coast are selling tickets for 28th October.

Do we have any inclination of the chosen date yet?

But obviously, keep watching das forum!
When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

Yes, it's now (literally) confirmed as 26th November at the Brunswick in Derby. Subject to some last minute checking of the venue (plug sockets, beer, tables, beer, space, beer) but by all accounts should serve our needs. The date was chosen to not clash with football games and a couple of other dates which were unavailable.

Sorry lpeters!

Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, London stanstead, London luton, London heathrow, East midlands, Bristol, newcastle or Liverpool.

if i could fly over it could reduce my overall return journey time by a full day and may just be cheaper if i book while ryanair have 1 of there sales on.

East Midlands. But Birmingham, Leeds Bradford and Stansted are all either one train and/or less than a couple of hours away.

Online 		Mrs G has just been reading the Tesco Clubcard small print and informs me that anyone who has Tesco Clubcard vouchers to spend can now redeem them against railcards and train tickets at 2 or 3 times their face value. Details are on the Tesco Clubcard site.

For example 16-25 Railcards (face value £28) can be purchased with £14 of Clubcard vouchers and a £10 voucher gives you £30 of tokens to spend on rail travel through www.redspottedhanky.com.

Could be the posh end from Alnmouth to Derby in November, then.

4 posts 		Looking forward to the Nov meet at the Brunswick - no shortage of beer there! It's only five minutes from where I work, so there's no excuse for not attending this one.

6376 posts 		Some points yet to be formalised but likely to be the case:


  • The lower age limit will be 16 years old

  • We often go out on Friday night for food and drinks (optional)

  • We often go out on Saturday night for food and drinks (optional)

  • The closing date will be the Monday before the meet when all monies must be paid. It's unfair on the organisers and the venue to suddenly have an influx of people right at the last minute.

  • Entry fee is likely to be around £7.50-£8 this time which includes a buffet. There is no opt-out of the buffet unless you come after 2pm.
