    Thanks Lady Sue.
    Shall I leave it at the RW stand or try to meet up with you? I guess the stand will be easiest to find!!

    Don't think so Barley .Gutted I'll miss out on hearing you blow that whistle again on the tube! 

    Also, I had some white labels last year that we used to write the runners names on for the bags/ and sticking them to the fence. I've got a stack load. I'm meeting some forumites on the Friday night so will pass the labels on then in case people want to use them again. Think a few black marker pens need to go on the list too? image

     Sorry, I can't bring any of the larger items as I'm flying down and I don't thing flybe will let me on with 6ft bamboo poles and I won't have transport to get them when I'm down.  I'll bring an assortment of fruit and stuff - as much as I can comfortably lug on the Tube.

    I will be at the Expo on Friday but I can also pop in late Saturday too to get the last of the stuff if nobody else can but I'll be coming in on my own Sun morning on the train so there is a limit as to how much I can carry.

    Is the Glugg on No 7 list a different one from the Glugg on the No 8 list?  Also, can't see Hashette on anyone's list so I'm happy to have her too (I already have her drinks order!)

    Just read about this in the magazine - can I add my name to the runners' list please? I won't re-post the whole lot as I see you've allocated groups and stuff. Basil Brush Mk II, AKA "Dr Cath" (as will be on my running vest from Asthma UK). Cheers. What a brilliant idea!

    Just switched you round, sorry this was a result of swapping Kaz to group 4 and forgetting to move Minardi and you with her.

    There will be a Champagne Bar in operation for the Support Group 7 runners (and any supporters who are in need of a medicinal shot of fizz) which means I will be lugging several bottles on the Tube as well as the world banana and jelly baby mountain image

    So we're all going to be slaughtered before most of the runners get there? image

    No no no Nam, I'll be the model of decorum as normal and just sip gently from an tiny tiny glass image

    I do remember being rather slaughtered last year, and the year before. 

    I hope the weather is nice again this year image

    Not sure if there is something mean about getting drunk and enjoying yourself while watching 1000;s of people slog their guts out image 

    That said its our reward for standing out in the sun/rain whatever for 6 hours or so..   Oh I cant wait its one of my favorite days of the year.
