Right, good, that's settled then. We'll go for a 274, not a 275. That'll give people more time to get round before everything closes down for the night anyway. This does mean that should we miraculously get a record time, it won't count. But that of course frees us all up from collecting photos and witnesses' statements, and allows us just to have fun.

Team TNT and Starkey* would like to finish at Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3; I'm not sure about anybody else!

*Team, we really need to think of a better name!

Even though it's online, it still seems rather soon! I'm available, but some people might not have read that message before 8:30pm tomorrow. :?

So we still don't know if this will be happening on 16th or 17th Nov...?

As an example of how things can gather momentum by switching to more suitable day/time...look at Z1 challenge today 15th Sept... when this was happening during the day I think only 2 or 3 were attending. But now this has been switched to the evening 10 are taking part..... :)

I think that the only problem with the All Stations challenge online meeting was the short notice. If you gave us a week's notice then perhaps more people might have turned up!

I was there ... but nobody was saying very much...

Matt, just to let you know, our team are getting ourselves sorted and we're confident that we'll attend on Friday (17th November).
I presume that you and your accomplice have a team, and I believe that uefacup81 wants to take part too. Perhaps he can form a third team, or you could include him in yours.
I think that the only thing that you have left to do is to organise lifts for people (if you can, that is, otherwise we'll have to rustle Plan B up, whatever that is) and organise the BBC to come and take pictures of us and make us feel important! We teams can publicise the Comic Relief charity as we go round the Tube.
With regard to the end point, Team Needing Help (my team) is finishing at Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3. It's easier for us lot to get home that way, and it makes for a nicer route. Unless you have other plans, it might be fun if everybody finished at the same place.
Lastly, the site is looking good! Plenty of information is there already; would you be able to make the remaining documents (such as a model letter to one's local newspaper) available for us to download?
