Testing the water for a "Northern mini-national"

They say we can pay up to and including the day. That means we all have to remember to have it with us, of course, and not spend it in the German Market at lunchtime.

What is the balance Elegran?

Right I have got it sorted elegran I will look for your pm with names .

Are you wanting both forum names and real names?

£32.40. Jane Thinking about it, it would be better if I had it all in by a couple of days before the 1st December, and I write them one cheque on the day. It saves us scrabbling round counting it all out. Send it as soon as you like, but before the 29th November, that is Friday of next week. That will mean I know it is all in the bank ready.

By the way, I have not yet put the deposit cheques I received earlier into my bank (must do that soon), so they will be listed in your statements pretty near the ones for the balance. I hope that no-one was hoping to spread the effect of the two cheques over two months.

What do you think about forum names and real names? From our posts, we are recognised first by our forum names, but our real names are known to those we have met. I am not sure.

I've no idea what time the bus will get me there by; will there still be food left?? Will pop a cheque in the post before I forget. If for any reason [snowdrifts, being kidnapped by Brendan Foster etc] I don't get to Edinburgh please drag someone in off the street and feed them my food .

We will fill a plate with goodies and keep it for you if you have not arrived.
If you are grabbed by Brendan Foster, bring him along.

What do you all want on the name tags forum name and real names or just forum names?

I am off to put a hot water bottle in the microwave and go to bed now. See you again tomorrow.

Hope you manage a good night elegran

Are you happy with cash on the day from me?

Well done Elegran. Just picked up this link having been away for 2 weeks in the blazing sun. So sorry to hear of your accident it must have been really sore. I watch ER stories all the time and it must have been a nightmare for you. Like I said before you must have the energy of a 5 year old (jealous). I am so looking forward to meeting up with all on the 1st, Edinburgh is sooo beautiful at this time of the year.
When I retired just last year a friend and I wandered the streets of Edinburgh amongst the hustle and bustle of Christmas and all the gorgeous lights. Having had a few tipples of various and exciting cocktails along George Street we got on the train to come home and blow me down forgot to open the train doors at our stop (due to our high jinx on the train) What a palaver as my husband was waiting for us. Memories eh.

Thank you so much for arranging this get together - you're a star

Glass I slept better last night than so far. I am getting used to lying in an unfamiliar position. Was woken at 7.30 by the phone, the plumber returning yesterday's call. He will come today to make the upstairs loo flush again. Perfect timing for it to seize up, when the bucket-of-water-into-it solution is beyond me.
JA suggested forum names and first names for nametags. Seems a good idea.

Glass - Last forum name for list is Glengran

We have several members with new usernames coming. A big welcome to them all - and perhaps we shall see lots of posts from them in the future.

I can't claim any credit for that one Elegran but it does seem a good idea

Oops sorry, it was Moomin.
I read PMs from you both just before posting that.

I'm thinking of getting one of those antenna type headbands and putting my screen name on one side and my proper name on t'other. I think it would look quite fetching.

Have just found that my post of Wed 20-Nov-13 21:01:22 can cause confusion.

To recap - the total is £32.40, and the deposit already paid was £15, so the amount now due is £17.40.

Sorry about that.

Are name tags provided or do we make our own?
Now there's a thought! A prize for the most imaginative!

Oops! Posted too soon.
Do we have a programme of procedure?

galen name tags are all organised

galen sorry to spoil your creative imagination

Hope you've spelt my name right then!

5 and 4 or do you want your sunday name?
