A gathering of disers in the Swindon area. ***photos added***

March is better for us than February.

(Sorry Joh - Feb half term we are in Lanzarote. Not that Swindon is less exciting, naturellement )

I live in Swindon and I can assure you Swindon is much less exciting!!!

Swindon? Not exciting?
It's home to the strongest football team in the world!
We have to be strong, we're holding up the rest of Division 1 at the moment!

Count us in for March 12th, especially as Tam has offered to drive back.

especially as Tam has offered to drive back.

That's jolly decent of her - she doesn't fancy a nice Sunday afternoon drive to Gloucester as well does she??

We live near Fleet station which is on the Waterloo line so if you need a lift let us know and you are more than welcome to run down with us.

Thankyou for the offer! I might be in Southampton (I'm at university there) on the day, so I'll have to check how feasible that is, but I may well take you up on it.

Tam says 'No'.
It would be difficult to get 6 in the car as the girls will not want to miss out on a DIS meet.
There is a cunning secondary plan. You can come here and stay over on the Saturday night and then we can all go off to the DIS meet on the Sunday. Let's face it, with the amount of alcohol that normally gets consumed when we get together, you probably won't want to drink at the meet!

Suzi - if you are stuck for a lift from Chippenham station, let us know as we will have to drive through Chippenham anyway.

Flights now booked (so please don't change the date ). Will probably be just me (as DH, although he loves Disney, is sick of hearing about it already). I may be able to persuade him to come though.

My Dad and Step-Mum have promised not to come over to the pub, get drunk and embarrass me as well so that's a bonus

I'm glad to hear it. That's a job for me and Matt.

What does the computer say?

Can I propose a third?

1) We come over to you on the Saturday;
2) Get horribly drunk (needless to say);
3) We drive you to the DIS meet;
4) I drive you back home (given that I'll have to drive back to Gloucester anyway).

 

[UKDEB]

I'm glad to hear it. That's a job for me and Matt.

Kev

And goodness knows you're both up to the job!

 

[Boss Hogg]

I've got a fourth...

1. We come to yours on Saturday;
2. Get public transport (yeuch) to the DIS meet;
3. Back to yours on Sunday and sleep in the lounge in a drunken stupor!!

I have to confirm exact numbers by 19th Feb so will check again that week to see who the definites are

 

[wilma-bride]

Just giving this a quick 'bump' if that's OK

 

[carolfoy]

Is it alright for kids to come? Callums 10 and he's with me that weekend - will there be any others there for him to socialise with?

 

[wilma-bride]

I believe others are bringing kids with them Carol. Tony64 and Kevin Stringer are both bringing their kids.

 

[fizz13]

My DD6 would like to come with me as well, so the kid numbers are on the rise,

Claire, having read your October pre-trip report does this mean we could end up with your DS, Mum, Grandad and the rest of your family coming along too
