Stil got no lift and no place to crash :( Might have to get a little tent or something and stay in Dorset over the weekend.

July 2nd is fast approaching! Are we all prepared and ready to be in a beautiful place down by the seaside?!?

I'd hoped to have another little promo vid for you all, but time has run away with me so rather than rush it out, I'll keep working on it for next year's 5th anniversary. Might have a couple of other little things in the pipeline for 2017 too. ;-)

We could probably figure something out.

I've yet to get back to AB about transportation. He sent me a message on Facebook about tickets.

I'll get around to all that pretty soon, just finishing up pre-flight preparations.

Looks like I'll be arriving either late on the 30th or some time on the 1st. Then on the third I'm probably spending the night at the airport. This alright with you Venables? Need me to chip in financially for other things? Let me know.

Don't ever auto-call me "Rodney" again, Mexi. :lol:
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

Unfortunately I again won't be able to make it this year, it clashes with a trip to Paris that my partner has planned. Properly gutted but I hope you all have a great time. See you lot at the Barbican for SOTL.

That's too bad.

As Mexi said, have a good time in Paris!

Preparations in full swing now. Camping gear out the loft and checked, new batteries bought for stereo, disposable bbqs bought, blue Vinny burgers on order from my butcher, and just picked this lot up.

For some reason, my phone is having a collapse. Can you all either PM me or Facebook message me your arrival times and arrival points for Saturday, plus whether you still need collecting etc. Thanks.

I wanna wish all of you an amazing weekend! You're a bunch of decent lads so I'm sure that will work itself out. Still kinda gutted I can't go, but I'll be trying extra hard to attend next year!

HAVE FUN GUYSS!
