Sorry my bad on this as just realised we're flying back from Holiday that day :sad:

Really disappointed.

I am just wondering if this is still on and how many peeps have their tickets ready for Friday 15th August.

I have mine :cheers:

[TeaLeaf]

It's still on, but the tickets I bought might have to be passed on to some other faithful as I now need to take my father to the hospital on that day.  They're CAMRA member tickets, but I've never been asked to show my CAMRA card yet, so they might work for someone.  If I can find them when I get back to the UK I'll post up here and offer them to whomever wants them.  Gutted to not be able to go this year :sad:

[suicidal_monkey]

I'm still going...

[suicidal_monkey]

I have mine :cheers:

:beer:Anyone else joining us?

[TeaLeaf]

I'll be sat in a hospital waiting for my father's echo-cardiogram to be completed :sad:

[Gortex]

I will be there with Beer glass in hand hoping to get a table somewhere or just make friends like last time with some strangers.

Few beers for this year worth a try.
