Programme
Contents |
It's too early to give a detailed programme for our August 2016 event yet, but here's the general idea.
Friday
Please note that the cost of the Friday fringe events are not included in your ticket. Unlike previous years we have not organised a formal sit down meal this year - prioritising playing games and informal chatting instead.
16:00 Very optional early arrivals meet & greet at Harry Cook Free House, 23-26 Montpellier Walk, GL50 1SD map
17:00 In the past we have gathered for a meal at a local Chinese restaurant but discussions on the mailing list suggest most people prefer to make their own arrangements or eat at the pub. I will however still organise a meal option for those who want it if anyone interested, this year at a Noddles and Sushi restaurant owned by the same folks who run the Chinese and just across the road. Email CJ on chrisjensenromer@hotmail.com if interested
20:00 Optional, Card games, boardgames and socializing in the bar of the Holiday Inn Express, 33 Dunalley Street, GL50 4AP map
Please follow hashtag #gt16uk on Twitter to check the exact time that we leave the pub to head to the hotel bar.
