Saturday 28th February. I think I'll go and check that as I heard it was the 21st originally. |

Very cheap. But it's a fortune to get back out. |

It's held inside a brewery, isn't it? Sounds like a good deal. |

It is one of the best venues around. All that Centurian's Ghost and Black Bess beer. Table lamps ansd cosy armchairs. |

I might bring the missus. She wants to see what writers look like in the flesh. Any idea how many might turn up? |

'Any idea how many might turn up?' Last Jan there was about 25-30 just the right number for the room. Good fun. |

I'd be surprised if it were held in a brewery. Too many organisational problems. |

"The BFS couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery," claims Joel Lane. My interpretation, obviously. |

Oh that south. There is only a fantasy event that I can see in Oxford - can't see any horror stuff. There is a call out from the BFS asking for members to organize open evenings in other areas. I'm becoming so reclusive that I really need to get to York :>) |

Great time spent with Steve, Gary and John Travis last night. The Centurian's Ghost beer well and truly got us...how's your head Gary? I'm fine now. |

I had a great time. I'd be surprised if you three didn't have hangovers today - you finished off every last drop of Centurian's Ghost! Thanks for a great night, Ally, Gary, and John. (pardon the oxford comma) |

I feel fine today so it is back to the novel writing, without oxford commas |

We had two pints of Guinness before the brewery but it was the taster tray that did for me. A little wooden tray that held four small glasses of different beers and then I think we had a couple of pints after that - powerful stuff that Centurian's Ghost. Black Bess wasn't there that night. Was one called Mad March beer? I know one was Constantine. |
