    AFAIK - there are only OSers at the hotel, but as I believe he only had 2 free rooms left, then there won't be manu non-OSers. If we do meet any, maybe we could convert them :rotfl:

    Nels - if you are coming up on Friday night, I'm assuming squeaky and Racyred will be there for the two nights too?

    I'm off to phone the hotel to book my room for the Friday as well. :j I've informed Mr TM who pulled a face cos it means he has to rearrange his usual Friday evening :D

    'fraid I won't be. I have to pull out of the weekend icon9.gif

    And I really wanted to build a sand castle! icon11.gif
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    Thanks TM, that will help a bit. Any chance of a stick of rock as a consolation prize?

    I will only be able to make it for the Saturday afternoon/evening (depending on DS's success in football tournament that day).

    Will you have an idea of where you are going to be on the Saturday? I would still love to come but don't fancy wandering round Brannigan's on my own trying to find you all. Although I live about half an hour away from Blackpool, I have never been tempted to get to know it very well so I'm not too sure of the location of the car parks, etc. If I know beforehand, I can look up on the A to Z where you are and choose an appropriate car park! Thanks, I know it would have been easier to stay over but childcare, etc makes it impossible for me.

    Chickadee - I expect we'll be out and about - but Ticklemouse did say she'd give out her mobile number to those who are planning to come, so I'm sure you'll find out without too much difficulty ;)

    Me too. My OH has finally confirmed he is working on Saturday, so I'm planning to come along for a few hours. Blackpool is only about 1/2 an hour or so away from me, so it won't take long to get there.
    No alcohol for me either, so a good mooch around the shops & some fish & chips on the front sound good to me! I know the place in Bispham that guinness77 mentioned, we always go there. I'm sure they used to do a portion of fish & chips for £1

    I just thought I'd stop by and confirm that I will still be attending the meet this weekend :)
