Also, it doesn't have to be entirely 'unplugged' if we don't want it to be, but I think it'd be more fun if we weren't just sat there playing video games the whole time.

Weddings and birthdays are mainly the things that we end up getting booked months in advance. For some reason September is full of them for us.

Maybe.

Also, did JC decorate the house or something?

How do people have plans for like the entire of September/October already? Nutters.

Consider me and GJ "interested"

I'm in! Ooh I can help Mrs Curio with the cooking.

Is it too early to count the sleeps?

Is it too early to count the sheeps?

I've just worked out that we could get to the previously mentioned cottage on the bus in 2 hours for £6.70 (pp, each way). Whoop.

However, if we had a car we could do the journey in 40 minutes. Hmmmmmm >:|

Post subject:	Beex Unplugged! 15-17 October
THE PROPOSAL We are going to have a weekend away in a (couple of) large farmhouse cottage thing(s), where we will eat, drink, be merry and play games that require not a computer or a console to play them. This will be open to any and all Beexers, and their significant others, should they be brave enough to join us. I've been HERE before with Bobby and a bunch of other chums, and it's a great place to stay. There are rolling fields, a garden to play footy in, tons of rooms and beds, a full sized snooker table, a pool table, a fussball table, a massive kitchen, and is only a couple of minutes from a massive Asda, so booze replenishment. For food, I know that Mrs Curio is very keen on cooking for everyone at least once, as she likes doing that kind of thing. Last time we were there she made two epic pots of chilli (one veggie, one meaty), which was awesome. This will probably be food for Friday night. For other foods we can sort out our own stuff, or other people can also do cookings. For getting there, I'm sure that helpful Beexers would be happy to give lifts to those along the way, or be able to pick people up from whatever station is nearest (I forget which it is). Location of the place is: Stenson Hill Farm Nr. Derby DE73 7FZ (There's a longer address which I'll dig up at some point). So, who's interested? DETAILS! We will have the place from Friday 15th October until Monday morning (we need to be out by 10am). I expect most people will probably return home at some point on the Sunday, but you can stay if you want to. On the Friday we (strictly speaking) have the place from 3pm, but I've had a word with the owner and he said that as long as they haven't had a late booking using the cottage on the Thursday night then we can have it from whatever time we want it. I'm to call him a week before to find out. COST! Should be 70 quid per person, as long as we get 30 people. Here's the list of people currently interested. Please feel free to add your name in the thread. It's never too late, etc. Shopping list! https://docs.google.com/document/edit?i ... be4Y&hl=en Monies have reached my bank account from: Curiosity - paid 70 Mogwai - paid 70 Craster - paid 70 Kern - paid 70 Grim... - paid 70 Goddess Jasmine - paid 70 Joans - paid 70 ApplePieofDestiny - paid 70 AppleTart - paid 70 Myoptika - paid 70 Ange - paid 70 Mr Dave - paid 70 Malabar Front - paid 70 Miss Malabar - paid 70 MaliA - paid 70 MrsA - paid 70 Dr Glyndwr - paid 70 Sista Crumpet - paid 70 Bobbyaro - paid 70 GazChap - paid 70 MetalAngel - paid 70 Mrs MetalAngel - paid 70 Malc - paid 70 Sinister Agent - paid 70 Mr Russell - paid 70 kalmar - paid 70 26 Peeps who have paid but will not attend: BikNorton - paid 25 Dimrill - paid 70 Hell's Bells - paid 70 3 Other Interested Parties who probably won't come Throughsilver 1

Yes. Not at the end of September though, as that's Mrs Grim...'s 30th Birthday. [edit]Or the beginning. Or, in fact, the middle. Err...

I'm definitely interested, and would be happy to provide cooking. I'm free and clear in September right now.

So we have to choose between Grim... and myp? It's like Sophie's choice... if she'd rather kill 'em both. Also, it doesn't have to be entirely 'unplugged' if we don't want it to be, but I think it'd be more fun if we weren't just sat there playing video games the whole time.

I'm putting my name down in a 'There's no way I can afford this so don't take me seriously unless I suddenly get a job' way. It'd be nice in principal though, especially Octoberish.

Hmmm I'm hoping to be employed by then. I'm still a yes for now if it is that weekend in October, but money may become tight if I haven't got a proper job by then. Not long to go now!

Jen and I are very interested provided we have enough notice for us to arrange the time off work although that is only really a problem for Jen. If we could confirm and book around the next payday (which is end of the month for me) then that would be great.

Just talked to The Gatekeeper. Pencil us in as a provisional "yes" depending on cost and shizz.

I have massive interest but I don't know where I'll be working or living so… maybe? Basically, yes until told otherwise.

If I proposed the weekend of the 16th October as the time to do shizzle, would that be good for most peoples? Also, once we get further in the planning stage I will need to know who actually will be coming and who is just talking nonsense. looks at Mr Chris
