Elite Dangerous Premiere Event 22nd November 2014 Discussion Thread

I approve of this sentiment :)

It's going to be memorable (up to a point).

See you all tomorrow x

Check on checkin is my suggestion. They need a card on file to charge to the room anyway

Excellent. Thanks for the hard work!

See you tomorrow... Kilts a-hoy, just for you! :)
 
Does anyone going have an Acorn Archimedes?

Well this is weird - I've to take the Mancs to Euston-bound Train tomorrow, change at Euston for the Tube to Seven Sisters, then Seven Sisters to Duxford Waverly Station, or whatever it is called. Then reverse the procedure Sunday, blee!

What time you at seven sisters? as that's on my route up from Gatwick ?

mine is @ 11:34am -> whitlesford
 
It will be Tottenham hale, not 7 sisters.

My route is from trainline.com

Hmm let me look at the pic of the schedule on my phone as it's one of those 'print yourself via a machine using a reference number at the start station' jobbies...

1404 Whittlesford pkwy

That'll give me plenty time to dump the cargo pod at the nearby Holiday Inn Coriolis, contact my co-pilot Cmndr Snos, ( :) ) freshen up, have a late (light) lunch at the Rouge de Lion then await the usual suspects... :D

Better bring some umbrellas as it's going to be cats & dogs

I'm into Whittlesford a lot earlier, so I doubt our paths will cross on route lol
 
I will be coming to the Red Lion beforehand. I keep forgetting to come in here and add my name to the ever-increasing list!

I've booked my son and myself into a hotel just down the road and I will be driving to the event, so there is room for three in my car.

Looking forward to seeing Ed and the other Elite Ambassadors again and meeting some new faces.

----------------------------------------------------------------

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 think we're past this now. It's fulfilled its purpose, and the red lion should have enough people to keep the queue at the bar tolerable.

The more the merrier. Que Sera Sera.

I thought the after party was residents only. We'll see, but chewie will need a run early on Sunday.
 
OK, came from Germany by plane and staying in a hotel currently. Most of the drivers who crossed my way seem to drive on the false side of the street. In Europe we drive Right!
Where can I raise a ticket?

you'll loose ;)

In Europe, You drive WRONG... live with it and learn !
 
I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow now. I'll get to see a childhood hero speak (and Kate too!), attend a unique première, make a bunch of new friends and just perhaps achieve a monumental state of refreshment.

See you there!
 
Can someone clarify as I'm being confused by different messages - is it the Holiday Inn Express Cambridge or Duxford?

My hotel is in the centre of Cambridge next to the station, not Duxford - so I'm thinking for transport back after if that's the case (no issue just want to make sure)
