Gill, are you doing all sessions or certain ones? I might be up for getting over there if something can be sorted, it would be good to add another PuG member to those known already and what a good opportunity.

[gillhalfpint]

Will have to check bus for Wednesday evening, but will be in the queue at opening time Thurs, Fri and Saturday, probably first as bus gets there 30 mins before opening time. We don't do the evenings though, and leave for the bus when sufficiently topped up.

[Maldenman]

Ok but as not work days I might be able to escape for an afternoon. I'll take pot luck unless I can persuade any other reprobates to attend.

[Quinno]

I'm aiming for Thursday...

It's tempting; particularly with that list of breweries - I didn't know there was a brewery in Emsworth!

[gillhalfpint]

I had one from Emsworth at the Leicester fest. Emsworth Slipper.

Been suffering a bit with an ear infection - hope to make it down later...
