£15 is fine by me. I leave it to you as to what everyone wants to do on the day. It's a U.K. shindig - that's all that matters!

hi is there any brown coats in north west wanting to do a mini shindig which could then join with the Oxford/London one?

I live in the North West (Cheshire), and I'd go to both!

I'd happily help organise one in the north west too, if there were enough people that wanted to go...

The venue I'm interested in in London is holding Saturday December 4th for us. There would be a screening on DVD,DJ and buffet included in ticket price. More info coming all the time, but I get the impression that a minimum number of people to attend would be 40, that would cover the costs. Obviously, every other ticket sold after that would just make the whole thing more and more shiny!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Hi, definitely count me in, £15 seems reasonable, not to mention one of the cheapest nights out in London I'll have ever had!

Saturday 4 December is fine and 15 pounds sounds ok as well. How many reactions have you had so far? Enough to make a start?

A tentative suggestion, which may provoke laughter or disbelief, but here goes...

When the film launches, how about a second shindig? Where?

Where was the FIRST UK multiplex cinema complex? Still in use, but now being run under the auspices of Mr Stelios of Easy-every-gorram-thing-under-the-sun ...

... Milton Keynes ... just off the M1, rail links to London & Birmingham, Coach links to Oxford and cambridge ... and a big fan-based film might go down well at EasyCinema.

So ... is it worth contacting Mr Stelios and asking him to put in a bid ...?

... especially as tickets are cheaper if you book in advance, so you can buy early, get a better bargain, and generally get the film shown more and/or on more multiplex screens...

Thoughts?

I'd probably attend any Shindig in the South of England. Be nice to meet a few other UK fans.

December 4th? £15? Sounds shiny .

Wordsmith's idea is also good - like some form of mass meeting up to see the film? I was struck by a similar idea and I must say it sounds like a good one.

Hey guys

I've had enough response now that I'm happy to go ahead. I've contacted the venue I was interested in and they've held the date, and are going to get back to me soon about when they want a deposit and how much it will be.

Would people be willing to pay in advance so I can get the deposit paid? I've done it out of my own pocket before and then had people pull out (Hello, Buffy Finale Party Patrons )

I was thinking maybe a chinese hawaiian theme? Plus, has anyone got any suggestions for music and which episode of Firefly to screen?

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

yes I'd be happy to pay in advance, I've done this sort of thing before too which is why I'm not volunteering!

Let us know when you'd want money.
