Serendipity

Well, let's get it out there and see what people think

The Sixth Annual Panto meet-up is proposed to take place December 2011 in the sunny climes of Glasgow. Again. But it is a new panto, Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates. So, y'know all shiny and new and we won't be able to predict the end (oh yes we will!)

Due to the sickliness of Sir Barrowman I propose we go the week before Christmas, it opens on the 17th December and according to ticketSoup there are plenty of tickets with a fairly good view for all of that first week both evenings and matinees.

doylefan22, when do the schools break up for Christmas? flipbfc will you be able to get the time off work to travel somewhere so far away? steviesun do you want to see if Irish Kate is interested?

[x] We are going to the panto on Tuesday 28th December, 7.00pm

[x] I have one spare ticket in Row E which I am looking to sell or face price (£27.50)

[x] doylefan22 and flipbfc have been doing some investigation and have found that The Crown Plaza by the SECC have twin rooms for £64 a night. It also has internet which is always fun.



[x] I know lm_jillybean isn't staying over and doylefan22 and flipbfc are staying for three nights. I'm doing 2 nights and am looking for a roomie. How about the rest of you?

I've also still got one spare ticket if anyone wants to join us.

I believe I forgot to let you know how to pay me. Please can you send me a cheque. My contact details are linked to in the User Info.

Ta.

Sorry for the delay in posting/organising this, I've been a bit swamped with RL stuff.

Anyhoo.

The results of the poll were for either Tuesday 28th December or Wednesday 29th December.

Best seats Tuesday Row J
Best seats Wednesday Row K
Tickets are £27.50 (plus a £2.80 per ticket booking fee)

(These were from the website, as I'm booking more than 10 tickets I'll have to ring them and I'll ask if we can be split up into 4/5/6's in order to get further forward)

Personally I think Wednesday may be the better day in terms of travelling up and down. I don't know what sort of flights will be running on the Monday (as that would be technically a bank holiday) but Tuesday should be business as usual.

Thoughts?

I will buy tickets for members of my flist and their friends. Everyone else will have to buy their own, sorry.

So I'll be getting tickets for:
me
nogbad
steviesun
doylefan22
lm_jillybean
nacbrie
flipbfc
kharma2815
Piper + 3
Total (so far): 12

If you want to join us let me know by Wednesday and I'll book the tickets Wednesday afternoon.

Once the tickets are bought I'll start looking at hotels. If we can find a nice little Travelodge or the like in the city centre we may be able to get some nice cheap rooms. Can't look at flights until the air timetables are done in March (Currently they only go up to October).
