I'm currently doing a feasability test for a shindig in London towards Christmas, probably the second week. We'd be aiming towards food being provided, decoration, etc.

I have organised things like this before, but I need to know how many people would go, and how much you would pay for a ticket. All ticket money would go towards the costs of the party, so no profit in it for anyone.

In two weeks, if no-one is interested I'll abandon the whole idea, so if you would come, please post now.cheers.

Curse your sudden but ineitable betrayal!

Hi to all European fans. I'd love to come to a shindig, but the only UK visit for me will be at the end of April (guess why). I think that would be a great opportunity for a shindig since it'll be right around the Serenity premiere and the starfury Serenity convention (apr 28th-May 1st I think). Lots of fans will gather there anyway so attendance is guaranteed. Anyway, whatever you decide I hope you have fun and i'll see some of you at the con. Keep flying!

Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't coming back

Another Oxford Browncoat here.

Shindig sounds shiny, try saying that three times real fast

If I'm not working then I'm pretty happy to travel anywhere. Although Oxford and London are much easier for me to get to.

I would definitely be interested but at that time of the year there won't be that many cheap airfares going so the sooner you can pick a date the better. Same goes for accomodation. Though I would be perfectly willing to bunk down on the floor if somebody would have some floorspace to spare
December would be nice though, and preferably in or close to London.

December in London sounds great to me! I live in London and don't drive, so anywhere that I can get home to without too much hassle is fine by me.

A weekend day in London in December given enough warning is feasible for me and the family. But not the one just before Christmas (air fares will be horrible then anyway).

Thanks for all your replies so far, I'm collating them, don't you worry!

I'm looking at a ticket price of about £15, is this too much? It would include buffet and entertainment. I would probably make it kids go free if accompanied by a parent (Kids = under 16)

I'm completely open to suggestion for what you would want to see at this party, so do please let me know

cheers

Hey fellow Browncoats. I live in Thatcham, (half hour away from Reading) So if people in the area were interested in a meet up in a pub for us locals that would be very SHINY.
Let me know what you guys think and we can choose a pub and time/date.

Any ideas regarding timing?

Sorry I'd love to come but the airfares from here at that time of your would be too high for me I reckon being all the way up here in not so sunny Scotland!! But having said that i will keep an eye on flights in meantime so lemme know when youve all decided.
