Count me in for this and looking forward to it. :yahoo:

Might be me +1 as Feezuki is a bit of cider rather than beer drinker but there will be plenty of that on tap to try and she is just checking with work. If both of us then we will prob get a hotel in London for Friday night and then go do something different (prob shopping in Camden she has her way) on the Sat.


Oh and Ticket brought :D

What short of time/place are we thinking about meeting up? Doors open at noon but it might be better to turn up later so any queue is gone...

Agreed, 12.00pm would be too early imo and it might be nicer to miss the Friday lunchtime crowd and arrive after lunch, sometime mid-afternoon?

To save me having to do the work myself, does anyone know of any decent (yet cheap) hotels nearby?

I'm planning to let the train take the strain though, but I hope these help!

Kensington (Olympia) is on the London Overground network.
It's one stop from Shepherd's Bush (Central line) or West Brompton (District line).
The venue is next to the station.

A shuttle bus from Earls Court station is provided for some events. Please check the event listings for details.

Hammersmith & City Line
Hammersmith Station is an 5 minute bus ride or 15 minute walk away.

Well, I expect we might get a range of times and tbh 12.00pm - 10.30pm is a heck of a long time to spend taste-testing ales!  How about we aim to meet up at say 2.30pm  (just after any lunchtime rush)?   We can get some food inside the hall and then start making our way around the Festival.    I'm aiming for lunch, dinner & perhaps a Thai spicy noodle session at the end of the evening :P

Does 2.30pm sound about right for people?  I suspect we'll get people arriving at different times anyway, so we could always keep in touch by phone or have some pre-arranged meeting points.

2:30 sounds good as I'd be up for lunch after a few hours on the train!

I have booked a night in the Premier Inn in Earl's Court which is just round the corner from the Olympia and is £30 cheaper than booking the same chain hotel onsite.

I would suggest finding a twin Tut but not sure I want to share a room with a Wasps fan :narnar: also if Feez decides she will join us am sure she would rather I stay in a room with her.
