Can I make a simple request?

Can everyone who's coming wear something that signifies their Escapist membership. It will make it SO much easier.

I have my Evil T-Shirt already ;)
How are you getting there? I wouldn't mind catching a lift with a responsible adult xD
If I find one, I'll let you know. :)

Probably heading down to London Friday morning on the train.

If there are under18s going, then there should be a parental consent form. I don't know if you've covered this already sky, but you may or may not know that the UK has serious Child Protection Laws...
yeah I know, I did say I wanted parental permission from the under 15's especially. :/

Sure you must have consent forms for anyone under 18?

2 - Are you planning/did you last year, go you for drinks and such?
2. Yup, but don't go crazy xD
Hey Sky, do you have any idea of what time everyone will be meeting?

As if it fits in with the group activities, something I'd be keen on is seeing if any 18+yr olds want to meet for a drink before. Entirely selfish motivation on my part, as it'd mean I get slightly less inhibited, while getting introduced to a smaller amount of Escapists than all those on that intimidating list of attendees at once. Other Escapists may get something out of that too.

And is root coming? He's not on the list of definite attendees. He's quite high on my list of "Escapists I'm curious about what they look like". I Probably wouldn't talk to him, as I'd say something inaccurate about a sci-fi series and get yelled at.

:0 I actually don't know if he's coming, he said it depends on his schedule.

And we're meeting around midday on the friday, but not entirely sure where yet. :/

But we'd probably be in a pub at some point anyway xD

I guess you could try to find ones from some UK youth organisation; and then modify them for this.

Looking at my budget, it's gonna be last minute warning on whether I'll be going myself. ._.

But I'll still keep organising it.

Can I put myself down as a confirmed Maybe?

It all really depends If I have any money or if I still have my job, is there some sort of deadline that you need to know by?

Hmmm, probably a month beforehand is a good enough warning xD, the problem is finding room in the hostel, since we have loads of people going, and only 33 beds available.

Boo!

Anyways, who are thinking of paintballing? I might phone the place a few months early and check if they can have large groups, otherwise we may have to do something else D:
