Well done SG. I can't wait to see the new act.

At least you will get there for a bit so we can all get to meet you.

Nellie still has a slight hangover from Wales... elephant hangovers last about 6 months... might be why they have such long pregnancies!

I haven't booked a hotel yet but hope to share a room with someone, the coach to Birmingham leaves London Victoria at 4.30pm Friday afternoon and gets to Birmingham about 7.30, there is a 20 minute stop somewhere on the journey. I'll PM my mobile no to people so if they change venue or something I can be contacted. I'll have a small suitcase with me with the puppets in and a sleeping bag (and a bottle of voddy....)

query answered

[sallysas]

Reading back 2 pages the old bank is indeed now called the Old Joint Stock and I had a half in there nearly 2 weeks ago. The beer is good and the decor is fabulous but one of the barmaids told me that she considers the Wellington (it's in Bennetts Hill but next door to the Joint Stock via a passageway) has real beers on tap. It was just a suggestion anyway but I did find out that there is a theatre with real productions on regular occasions which only seats 80 upstairs. Will have to visit at some point in time - just throwing this in for interest. I have been told by a friend that the food at the Joint is good.

Really looking forward to Friday night and seeing old faces and new. SSL what are you doing with the car this time? At least you won't be going all round the city centre - can't help thinking it was my fault last time.

[sallysas]

I think I will be wearing my white coat with hood so I should be easily spotted again for those that don't know me - unless we have a heatwave that is......

Broad Street on a Friday night - not done this for some Christmases.........

Not sure yet. It is still poorly so the RAC might be looking after it.
At least you won't be going all round the city centre - can't help thinking it was my fault last time. Oh don't remind me. Getting to see the city while lugging huge suitcases and it raining heavy was an experience i don't ever want to repeat. But there was no way it was your fault. It was the stupid woman who thought Brair rose pub was over the the other end of town. Not 10 paces from where we started.

Pmsl. Tills thought she was losing the plot last time searching for the nice lady in a white coat!!

Its going to be fun meeting up again.

[sillygirl1]

Not sure what I will be wearing, possibly a short white mac, as I am travelling up from London in the afternoon (booking on 4.30 coach from Victoria) I will have a case with me with a change of clothes and my puppets, and sleeping bag if I can find it (think my nephew has pinched it for his travelling van).

I suppose I ought to PM people my new mobile phone no - changed it a couple of weeks ago as there was a blinding offer on via work - SSL and Thai come to mind, anyone else I should send it to - 'just in case the coach is delayed or you change venue before I get there - due into Brum about 7.30ish at Digbeth bus station - don't know how far that is from Broad Street.

[sea-sidelady]

Do you still have my number? If not then i will pm it to you.

[sillygirl1]

SSL - no, I don't have your number, some numbers didn't transfer over onto my new phone....

[caro]

Here's a map with New Street Station, Travelodge Birmingham Central and O'Neills. Seems Digbeth Bus Station has been demolished so may be worth checking with coach company exactly where you'll be dropped off SG. I've a feeling you may have a bit of a trek.
