I'd love to come along. Money's tight, but a £10 travel lodge room and a cheapo rail fare should be OK
Happy to work around others dates etc as I have least committments (i.e. no kiddies!
)

I'd love to come along and meet you all as well.
I can see it now...Travelodge car park transformed for the day into a massive bring and buy sale, what with us lot swapping our old breadmakers for yoghurt/ice cream makers. Oh and I can spot the HM cake and biscuit stall over there....
My OH thinks I am having an internet affair already (addicted to OS), so a night away from home meeting you guys will surely set the cat among the pigeons!
Let me know dates etc and I will see if i can fit in with it, kids and other commitments allowing.

I think its going to be funny, wandering round the meeting point, glaring at people to see if they look like OS-ers and if they are wearing their pin badges.
We will need to agree a code or something. hee hee hee0 -
Those of us with cars will have to park in the same bit - lots of Martin's car stickers all together. Hmmm, do you think the others will think we are a secret society or some sort of coven......actually, if ancasta brings lots of hair extensions for us all, then they surely will

Everyone welcome, new and old (that's in OS terms, not real age terms, of course
) 0 -
The travelodge offer is for 8 weeks - September to November - booking starts tonight though.0

Well done you! Gosh it's amazing how fast all the numbers pile up!!
You're a superstar squeak, beer is all I drink anyway so that'll be fine.... Now Kronenburg if it's not too much hassle
Aye, between the bargainking and myself we have saved about a thousand dollars in 7 weeks through non-smoking. That's worth pondering....! Still, I wish I could come to the meet. Please peops take photies and stuff won't you? Aussielass, maybe you and I should have a OS meeting in Melbourne :rotfl:Three years, six months, three weeks, 13 hours, 48 minutes and 30 seconds. 26011 cigarettes not smoked, saving $11,704.80.

Cheers Trow

OK peeps, need more pm's from those wanting to attend so I know what dates to go for.
Martin has said that filming schedules permitting, he would like to come to
I've also pm'd Andrea so am waiting to hear back if any of the rest of The Team are up for a gathering.
You don't have to stay overnight if you don't want to/can't. Just come along for the afternoon or evening.
Right, pm's please (I've cleared my message box ready
) No-one's holding anyone to anything but I need something to start with
