I've updated the list to give accurate numbers (again), and publish the latest info.

This is the list for the pre-meet at Red Lion on Saturday starting between 4 and 4:30. I've advised the Red Lion that there will be ~100 of us! Unless we keep track of this properly there may not be enough staff to keep the beer flowing. Please do your part and help us avoid this disaster - all you need to do is update this post properly.When quoting this list PLEASE:
- Reply and add your username to this list so we have a clue about numbers.
- keep all of this text with it and remove the quote tags so it remains quotable for the next guy
- don't lose the red colouring, which denotes drivers with spare pax seats.
- if you're bringing a +1, put them on a separate line to make the numbers work.

Facts:
- We're talking about this Red Lion - http://www.redlionwhittlesfordbridge.com/
- It is right next to Whittlesford Parkway Railway station and the Whittlesford Holiday Inn Express, and about a 20-30min walk from the venue. The walk has good footpaths but you'll need a torch (phone app will do), and it involves crossing a couple of motorway sliproads.
- I'm in touch with the venue to confirm they will have enough space and staff to keep us dry, warm and refreshed.
- a 3 cabs (2*8 and 1*6 seaters) have been arranged to take us to IWM from 17:50 onwards. They can do 3-4 runs each, so there should be enough space for everyone. Pay the driver.
- Attendees who can provide lifts are marked in red.

I've put the first 75 people in a spoiler to protect your scrolling finger...

I was just about to ask if anyone had received their tickets yet as mine haven't arrived.

Hopefully in the next day or two then.

Mine arrived today (Friday) too, they needed signing from Royal Mail and came in the first post, so I'd expect most people should get them today or next. I was getting worried with only a week to go, yet the store saying within two weeks of the event- phew!

Seems you've got some dodgy tickets there, I'd send them back, they've printed them side on. :D

Well I doubt mine will turn up today (as wife not rung), and no post on Saturday so maybe Monday for me...

I live on the Isle of Wight, so I'll have to go back in time to 1957 to get mine...

I'm a little further south here, not sure if they managed to wind the elastic up enough so the propeller managed to spin all the way. Mind you, surprised they didn't do electronic ticketing

Just to add that I have also just received my ticket. Looks like I picked a good day to work from home :)

The big question I have is about the catering. If there is no catering at the event I hope the red lion can find 100 burgers pretty quickly!

I'd also like a confirmation on this. I'll be arriving with my daughter, and whilst I'm happy to skip the odd meal I tend to make it a rule that The Child has three meals a day. :)
