Be Excellent To Each Other

I didn't actually ask! In my defence I was driving at the time....

Will find out asap

Cost for the second house is an additional £950. With current attendees (assuming nobody drops out) we're looking at £155pp (vs £100 for just the big house)

However, there's a few regulars who I've not spoken to yet that could likely bring the pp cost down.

My gut instinct is to book it and just concentrate on getting a few more yeses?

go with your gut!

That's booked, so everyone pester the regulars and get a few more yeses

I'll pester Joans.

More like haunt.

I've just paid a deposit. I asked GJ and she's couldn't remember if she'd paid or not, so I've paid both and we'll work it out at some point

She hadn't, but I've got that down now - thank you

Half of the attendees will be Matt’s entourage at this point!

I shall badger Sarah about coming as she will probably attend. I may have a plus one as well

Awesome, thank you

Also paid my deposit

Did I pay mine yet?

This is a question I also have

No to both of you

Will update first post with deposits received in t'morning.

Is Squirt coming? I'm pretty sure he promised this year.

No, it's pee.

Oh God, I did, didn't I? Is there still room for an additional one? I'll be IN if so!

Whoo!

There's definitely still room!

I'll add you to my special spreadsheet.

Huzzah! Deposit is heading your way, so you're definetly stuck with me now.

Fatima Whitbread is ageing well.

Yes!

Whoop! Whoop!

Hullo all! Sorry about my offline nature of late. I'm in again if you'll have me! Somehow I think I'll be skipping the wine tasting this time though, oy vey!

Thanks Pete, will get you added on the special spreadsheet

Whoo!

Deposit paid! Got a new board game for my birthday too, a Master & Commander type Age of Sail theme that looks to play like that Star Wars spaceship pew-pew game, but with tacking and gun-smoke fog banks and fires and stuff. So might be bringing that if it be good.

Hurst has two friends that may be interested. They are confirmed as cool people.

What do y'all think?

I am ok with it.

Top 5 cool people?

Until I heard that Spice Girls episode I would have said yes but now, I just don't know what to think of Hurst and his opinions.

Given that a chunk of attendees for the past few years have just been "random friends of existing attendees" I don't see the issue.

Deposit paid. Sorry for the delay

The music round, has written itself

I vote we all arrive dressed as our favourite spice girl

For me, it would probably have to be

No apologies necessary

I have just paid a bit more than the deposit, because I am rubbish and will forget otherwise, it might be the full amount, or you might need a bit more from me at the end, depending on final numbers.

Thanks Malc.

Has been a bit longer to finalise plans than expected, but room for one more?

There's always room for Mr Dave I've popped you in my spreadsheet!

There's even more room now that Mr Dave's coming!

While I'm thinking about it, I might as well lock in costs for this.

Confirming at £115 per person which includes a few quid each for usual essentials as per. If you've paid your £20 deposit, you owe £95. If you're Malc, you only owe £15.

No rush at all, I've just got cottage in my head!

If you want to pay a bit now and a bit later to stagger costs that's gravy, I'll keep the spreadsheet up to date.

£95 sent

I think I'll only be able to be at the Cottage on the Saturday, stay for the quiz (and maybe Mafia) and then head home. I've got a wrestling show on Friday night and it's my birthday on the Sunday so I suppose I should get back to the family.
