Thought it might be good to sort this out sooner rather than later,
Be good to know who is going, when they plan to travel to and from Brighton and how?
Accommodation wise, camping has been suggested as an option so we may need to bring tents etc too
If you dont know how yet, then we might be able to arrange cars/ renting cars/ advance train tickets (with bike booking)
Also if you are up for driving and have a spare place, im sure others can help with petrol costs.
Emma - leave Friday and come back Sunday/ Monday, dont know how yet.
I can help with the driving, but no car atm. I also have a 2 person tent, but I'm also considering a hostel. (I remember staying in a really good one in Brighton a few years ago. I just have to retrace my steps/pedals on google street view to find it...)
I think killer queens still need to pay for Brighton, deadline is soon, also did you pay for Cambridge, deadline was yesterday but I paid today?
Cambridge/ Moar coffee (Salman, Ben & Emma) - Paid
Brighton/ Killer Queens (Salman, Drew & Emma) - Not paid yet
Coolio.

Salman is cycling down...
Not sure how I am getting to Brighton, anyone else going that isn't sorted out for transport?
Train is around £80 return :/
...or it will cost around £100 return if going by car, is anyone up for splitting this cost? (and possibly have a car, as it will take forever in my car!)
Ste is driving with Rob & Ben, but doesnt have space...
So anyone who is not playing want to go anyway?
Salman is ridiculous.
Borrow a tandem?
Sal - I can take your luggage and a sleeping bag down for you if needed - or are you going proper minimalistic?
Cheers for the offer Neil! I might stick my mallet and facecage* with you if you don't mind. I'll probably need the sleeping bag on the way :)
* Assuming the facecage gets here in time. Stupid jubilee means Royalmail is even more late than usual. Down with the Monarchs. (Salman, the heretic foreigner.)
Salman, when are you setting off?
Wednesday. Wanna take time off work and join me?
Got stuff at work Wednesday/Thursday off Friday though, didn't really think through that you'd need to be there for the start of the tournament...
Oh and if you want to borrow my face cage in case yours doesn't turn up you're more than welcome to it.
Sorted now :) Neils taking my bike & im squeezing in Stes car
