Right folks, there's been waning interest in this and I haven't helped. I do, however think it's a great idea and would like to be there.
As there's some time between now & then there's still a chance we can do this and I've realised I've not got as much on as I first thought - well nothing that can't be moved (bar 1 thing) anyway.
So, reading back through the thread it's pretty much agreed that Birmingham would be the better location. Realistically it needs to be a Saturday night. The 8th December died a death by the looks of things (unless that was just to do with a location not really being decided), which leaves us with 1, 15, 22, 29.
I personally can't do the 1st but would do any of the other dates (8th included).
Anymore for anymore???
