Afro, me old china, if I can get the time away from FGW, I could do the whole weekend. OK, perhaps Thursday to Monday (for the beer of course!). Perhaps Derby, but Sheffy is fine with me (for the Sheffield Tap) I will let you know ASAP

" said:The lower age limit will be 16 years old " said: Thats me out of it thenNothing personal: we're reviewing this anyway. Ultimately none of us organisers want the responsibility of a minor but if we can safely pass that elsewhere then so much the better. It is sad in today's society that we have to go to such lengths but that's the world we live in unfortunately. It's not as simple as getting a responsible adult to look after the minor though obviously that is a large part of the solution. To all those under 16 and would seriously like to attend please let me know via PM and we'll see what we can do.

Last Train back from Sheffield looks like its 23:30 takes abut 30 minutes. I suspect we shall have to arrange some form of solid refreshment to go with the liquid one as Sheffield Tap is a drinking zone. :woohoo: Blessed are the true believers, for only they shall walk the Path, and they shall be welcomed unto the realm of the Ori and made as one with Them.

Sheffield tap is on the north end of platform 1 at Sheff, means I can sit there with my note book and redpen ticking off numbers while I pretend to route said trains.

alcohol and trains (and perhaps SimSig)...bit like a certain pub I know of where you can plane spot from near a certain airport whilst enjoy a cold pint of beer/ale/cider, etc...perfect combination! :cheer:

Ah, I see. Could always make that the Friday night event and then do the curry on the Saturday. Just an idea, no rushing around then, though there might be fewer people I guess.
