Anyone going on the Thursday?
 

[blackdog]

I might. I am more interested in the Friday as there are more talks, but last night I tried doing the shifts for where I work and I'm afraid I really can't on Friday >:( 

[spence]

Give a shout if you're gonna be around (same goes for anyone else who might be going) - I'll be around all day Thursday and in the area until Saturday

[blackdog]
