Well let's do Saturday 8th September then.

So, BBQ will be held at my home on Sat 8th September and will start at 12.00pm (noon) through to whenever we decide to stop (last time this was at about 4.00am Sunday morning I think).  Partners can attend too - my wife has to have someone else to chat to ok!  

Food & Drink:
I'll supply the food and there will be a decent stock of drink there, but if you want to bring any food or drinks along  then please do, I am sure it will be a case of the more the merrier!  If you would like a specific food or drink available then please let me know in advance and I'll do my best to have it available.  Before anyone asks, the infamous bananas cooked in rum, butter, chocolate and brown sugar will be there in copius quantities again!

Accommodation:
Several local hostelries can put you up for the night, or there is room in the garden for some tents to go up. In addition there is space on the lounge floor if needed.  I'll try to post some details of local motels later today when I have their details!

Travel:
Rail:  Milton Keynes Central is the closest rail station.
Car: Head for Junction 14 of the M1 - I live about 3 minutes from that junction.
Bus: there is a bus station just off J14 of the M1.
If you're coming in by bus or rail and need a lift from the station then let me know in advance and we'll see what can be arranged, otherwise it's a short cab ride to my home.

If the weather is lousy then we'll see if we can get a big awning set up for the day.

If you are interested then vote in this thread so I can have an idea of numbers. Should be a totally non-gaming experience so do NOT plan to drive back the same night!

Arja and I are away in Finland from the 18th-31st August. Flights paid for so those dates are a no-no for us :sad:
