Do it! It was as if you had been clothed by the gods of sci-fi themselves!

I'll see if I'm brave enough to wear the matching trousers!

Is there going to be a live stream again this year for those who are unable to attend?

There's always been a live stream since I've done the conf :)

As others have said, the only dress code is that you have clothes on. Exactly which clothes keep you on the right side of the law is up to you.

 

On Wednesday night:

Dos_Box, ZeroHour, RobK and I will be dining at the Heathley Park Fayre and Square which is next to the Premier Inn Leicester Central where we're staying.

 

You're welcome to come and find us and join us for the evening. We'll be the ones in geeky T-Shirts ;)

 

If you have forgotten to print your Space Centre parking permit or need a lift to the Space Centre on Thursday then this is the time to sort it out!

 

On Thursday:

Conference starts at 9am.

Afterwards we all head back to the Premier Inn and will have the traditional post conference meal at the Fayre & Square. Dinner on us :)

If you're on the EventBrite Waiting List, please check your Inbox and spambox!

 

There's a chance there's an invite from EventBrite to take up your conference place in it. Please use this email to accept the place.

 

If it's not working or you have any queries, or you're not sure if I mean you, please contact me via the forum or email elsiegee40(at)edugeek.net and I'll try to sort it out.

 

I leave for Leicester about 1pm on Wednesday ... I'll keep the list going right up until I go!

 

If you're already on the waiting list, please don't rejoin it!

For the post conference meal tomorrow night, do we need to put our names down / sign up or do we just turn up?

 

We've made allowances for you at the booked tables on Thursday night. You put it on your EventBrite booking :)

 

After the conference we head back to the Premier Inn/Fayre and Square and try to eat pretty soon after we get back... although getting everyone in the right place is a bit like herding cats! :D

To anyone that is going to stay over at the Premier Inn, last year I followed my Microsoft Phone to the location... and it didn't help as I got nearer.

Aim for the Fayre and Square and turn in there, you will see there is an area you can drive up to the Premier Inn.

Is there going to be a live stream available for those chained to the desk?

 

That is the intention :) (For the conference anyway... what happens at the Fayre and Square afterwards is strictly private ;) )

What time will you be at the Fayre + Square tonight? I've got 6:30 in my head from somewhere?

From 6-6.30pm ish

 

People tend to drift in as they arrive and they're sorted out.

 

I'm just about to set off. Will post when the mods/admins head for the Fayre and Square :)

Excellent! I'm bringing my dancing bikini for the table, and I wouldn't want screencap footage floating around afterwards.

 

Looking forward to it :D are there going to be tasty snacks on arrival as well? Planning whether I need to stop for a Sausage + Egg McMuffin en route or not... (don't mock me, I'm from Lincolnshire, McDonalds is still a novelty to me)

Just made it to Leicester and am recovering from the drive with a mug of tea.

 

I have no idea about arrival snacks. There's tea and coffee and I vaguely recall pastries on arrival last year. I'll ask DB when I see him later. There's an Asda next door if you're starving.
