Set the sails, splice the mainbrace!

Right, I think that's everything packed. Just need to put some provisions and the directions through Retford in a separate bag and pack everything in the car.
Even with just one set of costume, I have one big bag and my photo/laptop bag. I have no idea how those people with four or five changes of frocks cope...
Another fifteen minutes to get everything ready and then I can relax and read a bit until I have to drive to robinbloke's.
We're planning to set off 12:30ish so should be in Retford 2:30-3. Plenty of time to check in, say Hi to people, pick up our characters, have bar dinner, relax a bit and get changed.
I shall see a few of you there!

I just hope this sniffle won't turn into a proper cold. I'm taking some flu tab just in case... :o(

To everybody going to or already in Glasgow, have fun! I have fond memories of the Scottish Ball.

Intrigued by why you are going to retford. I was brought up about 7 miles from there, despite Bill Bryson saying nice things about it (I now distrust his judgement) it really is a bit of a dump. And that's the polite version!

I'm going to guess that it is because it is one of the few stops on the east coast main (train) line which is perhaps its saving grace. In other news, Rowan Atkinson has bought a large house there. By all accounts he is a bit of a grumpy man.

No other reason than the Pyrates freeform game being held at a hotel there.
