alan may be able to point you in direction of cheep train ticket sites might be worth looking at seeing if its worth braking journey up with different tickets
 
Monica, don't feel pressured to be there at 11 - come whenever you like! I know I will probably stay until the early evening at the earliest, and there are a few of us coming down from London, so I know a few will be staying until the late PM. Come whenever is convenient for you 🙂 it would be great to meet you!

Yeah but, no but.....😛
Actually, it was the price dictating the travel times. The 6.30 train was the cheapest.

Monica, not sure where you are travelling from or what price you have got, but megabus have a journey from York to London for ?9 per person on the Saturday. The journey departs at 6:55 from Leeman St bus station in York, the coach takes you from there to East Midlands Parkway then train from there to St Pancras, arriving at around 11:18 - easy to get a return from London to Brighton (I'd suggest using Southern Railways for that, no booking fees and free postage of tickets).

There's a journey back on Tuesday leaving London at 14:15 and getting into York at 18:30, again for ?9 per person.

Thanks Alan, have priced it up from where we'd be travelling from. Total ?82 to London. Adding on "London to Brighton" and "Home to Busstation" would probably add up to about the same as the train journey. And I'd prefer a train to a bus any day😉
Unfortunately, at the moment it looks like we're not coming. If there's nothing to do to keep our whole family happy, it would be a bit of an expensive day out:(
 
I'm trying to work out how many people are coming!

Shiv
Shelley
Hazel
Alan
Tez
Teapot & Amy
Daniela
TomH
Gail
Caroleann
Nicky1970
AileenCJ
PhilT
Sheena & Tia
AnnW (?)
Natalie123 (?)

There's also another 7 people on FB confirmed, and I know we'll be joined by at least 1 dog!

Is everyone above still coming? Any more for any more?? It would be great to see new faces!

The FB group is here:

I have to be honest and say that is a distinct possibility! :D Shiv will have to keep an eye on me 🙂

Bring her! Bring her! She'll be so lonely and miss you if you don't - you don't want to leave her shivering and whimpering in the back garden wondering where you have gone do you? Bring her! Bring her! :D
 
If anyone wants meeting or chapperoning to the venue I'm happy to help.
