More booze, because regardless of how much you bring, you'll realise it's not enough on the first day. Breakfasts Lunches Snacks I think that's about it? |

There's a supermarket very close by, so as long as you have clothes and a towel you'll be fine. Bring toiletries too. |

Great... I don't drink. Also, I should really get around to paying for this. There's a chance I might be able to stop the Saturday night too now but I won't know until later in the week. |

In fact, surely even you can see the difference. The box is the same colour as the banner, which is fine, still a wee bit too highly saturated and bright for my liking for a shifty read at work, but ok. That hideous turquoise is in the thin bar that separates. What does that bar do, Grim...? |

Some scroll bars you can use to scroll. I assumed that was how they got their name? I don't think you can drag that turquoise thing to scroll, it'd be going the wrong way anyway. |

As a fist timer to the cottage, what should I bring? Will there be enough going on to keep me busy? I'm guessing there'll be cutlery and stuff there as I do enjoy a bowl of cereal in the morning. Also, when do I find out where I'm sleeping? Does that happen when I get there? |

You're sleeping between grim and Craster. It's called the initiation sandwich. Bring a towel. |

Otherwise the people who do stay Sunday get shafted. Quote: Will there be enough going on to keep me busy? Hahahhaha, but also yes. If you're very lucky, during the lulls, there will merely be three board games and two other things going on that you really want to be a part of and have to choose between. Quote: I'm guessing there'll be cutlery and stuff there as I do enjoy a bowl of cereal in the morning. The cottage has an equipped kitchen. There's an ASDA [1] nearby that people generally go to a few times a day in various groups to buy food and stuff so there's no need to overthink the planning. We generally buy a large shared pool of common stuff on the first day (teabags, milk, sugar, toilet roll, bacon, bread, bin bags, that sort of thing.)Quote: Also, when do I find out where I'm sleeping? Does that happen when I get there? Rooms are Allocated Upon Arrival ie. you put your bag on a bed when you come in. Based on current attendance, there are seven twin rooms to share between these people:Mr Dave Kovacs Kern JBR Malc DocG Jacket Mr Chris The Vision ...so a few people have to share and a few people get a room to themselves.
