Sorry you cant make it Wonderwoman, all the best x

Looks like we are going to have a nice gathering

So far we have:

Me, hubby & Roo
Sarie & two kiddies
Frowstyspink, DH & three kiddies
mama4 & kiddies
Random & short stuff
Amorinstar, DH & two kiddies
Lula & boo
sazmet & three kiddies

The shared food idea is great - anything that needs heating up can be done in the microwave. Whats everyone thinking off? I havent got a clue!

Ill happily bring along a couple of play mats and blankets so that the kiddies are not playing on the floor, and some toys etc as we only live down the road and it makes more sense than people lugging items from around the country. If there is anything you want to have, let me know and Ill see if I can bring it instead.

What time do we have the hall until?

I like the idea of shared food too, we will probably bring cake as it is the easiest thing to take on the train!

They will open up for us after 12, and we have it until 4 or 5, so quite a nice chunk of time. When will your train be getting in Clare?

what train station is it best to go to?
thinking of doing pasta with mayo, cheese and ham? is that ok? xx

Tamworth is best Sarah - its two minutes from the church.

Pasta sounds fine, I know we have a good mix of veggies, vegans and meat eaters, so anything you fancy

Our train should get in at 11.50, have you got the address so I can get google map directions?

I would love to come but would cost too much on the train. I hope you have a wonderful time x

Sadly, our car just conked out, and the garage can’t fix it till the 3rd January.

Will price up train tickets, but I suspect with the car repairs and train fares to work for DH, that it might be out of the question now. x

Thats a shame Jennifer and Amorinstar - hopefully next time - camping in May!

In terms of the small donation the church required, what would everyone consider a suitable amount?

We are definitely coming - driving from SW Nottinghamshire if that is any use to anyone??  Happy to contribute but have no clue as to amount :( Looking forward to meeting people at last .

I have let the owner know we will be wanting the room from 12, and I think I may make a nice pan of lentil soup to warm up in the microwave

Here is a map showing details of the train station to the church - Ill also pm everyone my mobile number later so you can contact me if you need to x

Mp from train station to church

Yay! See you all later
