Only four weeks to go people! I hope you have all got your cheap tickets organised! As it has proved suitable for the past two years, the venue will be The Shakespeare's Head, Holborn

Africa House, 64-68 Kingsway
Holborn
Greater London
WC2B 6BG

The pub is nice and large, with good prices (being a Wetherspoons!) and a varied menu with nutritional information available.

I hope to get there at around 11 am, so you can turn up any time after that - we will be there throughout the day, so even if you can only pop in for a short time, please do, it would be lovely to meet as many people as possible! 🙂

Please respond to this and let me know if you are coming so that I have an idea of who to look out for. Can't believe it's our third birthday already! :D

I really don't know Alan. I'm not a person just to sit there, especially in a pub, it would be nice to go, but I would have Tia as well. I'm really unsure, but I will try to let you know either way. Sheena

I understand Sheena. Unfortunately it's the only thing I can think of where people can get food and drink and also where people can just drop in throughout the day. You could spend the day in London, but perhaps join us for lunch and take Tia to see the sights for the rest of the day 🙂
 
Jeanette says she is coming to keep an eye on me.



At this rate she will be eligable for carers allowance lol:D
 
Ypauly - Londo - I thought you would go to Manchester
 
I will definitely be there at some point in the day.

There isn't alot in it distance wise, but london having a coach station in walking distance makes it that little bit easier.

P.S manchester hasn't been ruled out as i'm free both weekends at the moment. so may do both.
 
Its my friends 21st birthday so i wont be able to make it and get back in time :(

We are all going out dressed as disney and fairytale characters lol! I hope you all have a great time though x
 
I have just realised that the 12th is the day of the Lord Mayors Show and at 5pm there is always an amazing firework display on the Thames. We could pretend they are doing it as part of the 3rd birthday celebrations!
