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

I'm definitely up for this one, Ally. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.4.151 |
Yes - I've checked and it is the 28th. | ||

I'll be going. How much does it cost to get in? | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.0.112.152 |
Very cheap. But it's a fortune to get back out. | ||
| Steve Bacon (Stevebacon) Username: Stevebacon Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 90.213.27.228 |
It's held inside a brewery, isn't it? Sounds like a good deal. | ||

Be great to see you again, Steve! | ||

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? | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.96.241.143 |
Emily will be there, too. She loved FCon. | ||

'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.  | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.110.163.209 |
Quite obviously. | ||

I know it's grim up Nerth but does horror ever come South? gcw  | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.109.37 |
Most of the events are held down south. Here you go. http://s256537080.websitehome.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1781.0 | ||

Yeah, thats 'dahn real Sarf' Ally - I was thinking more Norwich or Cambridge gcw | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.109.37 |
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. | ||
| Steve Bacon (Stevebacon) Username: Stevebacon Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 90.209.220.47 |
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) | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.15.186 |
I feel fine today so it is back to the novel writing, without oxford commas | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 213.219.8.243 |
Yep, I had a splendid time with you daft lot. Hangover lasted all day Sunday... | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 82.20.31.211 |
I'm getting a hangover just thinking about how much you lot probably drank. | ||

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. |
