    I say do it mate. Even if there is just 3 or 4 of us for a while, it's still worth a wee GTG.

    Crazy, crazy, crazy ! :x

    Looks like I'm stuffed as there's no trains through that make it an easy journey. Coming back I'd have an hour bus ride from the station at Southampton Airport to Poole as there doesn't seem to be a train running :x

    No wonder this country's gone to the dogs ! (can you tell I'm having a rant now ?!)

    What the heck is parking gonna cost me in central Brum ? (and I HATE driving in cities)

    Is £120 not expensive? or am I as tight as the missus reckons?

    Ok, spoke to a m8 of mine last night who does tons of travelling and he pointed out I could drive to the Southampton station and park there and then I wouldn't have to mess about with bus rides - silly me not to think of this; must have been my rant clouding my mind :oops: :p

    So, I'm assuming I need to end up at Birmingham New Street, yes ?

    In which case I'm looking more definite. Rail fare will be about £35 return and I don't mind the driving bit and parking for the day.

    I can get there around mid-day and would have to leave 9/9.30 'ish.

    So what's the SP ? Where do we meet/eat etc. ? Obviously won't be getting into any serious drinking cos of the drive home but happy to come up and meet some of you at last !

    Good call Kev.

    Details later, but your about above. Normally meet up in a pub by New Street and take it from there.

    Come on guys, make an effort. Beers and geek chat in Birmingham with some of your CF buddies. Got to be worth a piece on your time. Even if it's for a couple of hours or so.

    Make an effort

    Well, it looks like im going to have to pull out. Its really not worth the expense for me this time, especially when there are only a few confirmed.
    What happened to the GTG days when we used to get into double figures? Just seems like people cant be bothered no more :cry:
