OK guys, who is up for:
Sunday 7 April at 9:30am?!?
Sounds like the preferred option at the mo. Then we get all afternoon to wander
around the park too :-) If we can come up with enough definite names, we (i.e.
Linda) should be able to negotiate a discount. Even if we can't get a discount,
at least we'll all be there to play together (no squabbling please). As per
Tony's suggestion, let's aim to have a definitive list by Monday. We'll then
place the booking immediately, but we'll need you all to refund us as soon as
possible thereafter.
If it's not going to be "LEGO overkill", we could host a 'fest on the Saturday
at our place (just off J4 M25) with stop-overs for any long distance visitors
:-)
So, without further ado...
ROLL CALL
