Comic Relief 2011

[tubeguru]

Depends if you want to spend all day looking like a gimp.

and run even more of a risk of getting arrested!!

could try some Morphsuits (http://www.morphsuits.co.uk) but I've no idea what they're like or if you'd want to spend an entire day wearing them! (plus, whether I'd wear one with my... er... physiquie...)

That'd terrify people. Lets do it

Did i See in 1 of the pictures you can drink Beer through the costume if so then yes lets do it.
Seeing as i originally put the post on here i quite happily be an organiser for this.

What we need over the coming months i believe is this

Costumes decision
A route decision on start/finish places
accommodation at start/finish places
Just giving page or something else to donate money too.
Rough idea of how many people possibly involved (obviously a bit early for this but if u have the date march 11th is it Comic Relief day? now is more possible to get it off)

[palkanetoijala31]

Now that xmas has past and after the New Years Eve hangovers have passed time has come to get this Friday March 18th Comic relief attempt to be discussed and planned.

Firstly plan possibly Thursday and Friday March 18th 2011 off if you wish to participate and all are welcome for those whom didnt attend the event in 2009 a dvd could possibly be got from by pm to forum member dr who of the day.?

Secondly what we need is a theme superheros and villians was 2009 what will 2011 be the morphsuits one i quite like but maybe too sensitive so perhaps any costume theme might be good.

Thirdly Seeing as I originally posted this i happily organise it and all the route planning involved with it.

That was just for people who wish to come along who dont live close to London to arrange accommodation etc.

How easy would it be to arrange lifts for everyone from the finish to the start? (For this sort of thing, this would encourage people to take part, meaning all they would have to do is to turn up, assuming they have booked two nights' accommodation). Say if we do either Amersham or Chesham to T5 (especially as they are relatively close together).

Quite easily Joe allthough for a definate answer to that we would need concensus on Start and Finish points for example HOTH is a good place between the 2 for example but if say 10 people were interested perhaps 2-3 cars would be sufficient in the task of ferrying people it seemed to work last time.I do have a suggestion of a route but i will need to put it through a Journey Planner 1st.

Right please add your name to the list if your attending or at least planning too
put possibly before ur name

Andi
possibly Sara

I have several ideas for route planning obviously i havent considered any andi sprint type runs in them but expect some runs at least involved but of course their are pros and cons on all of them we will take any buses that we possibly can but the advantage of last time was the fast runners relay info back to the back of group especialy handy at West Acton last time .

Amersham/Chesham start T5 finish pros tried and tested cons t4 last train times
Amersham/Chesham start Upminster finish pros tried and tested cons distance between the start and finish points
Chesham start Amersham Finish pros start and finish points almost the same cons untested and seriously long run involved
T4 start Amersham/Chesham finish pros tried and tested comic relief 2009 cons different timetable to last comic relief so new route would hae to be planned

Upminster Start Amersham/Chesham finish pros early upminster trains and late Amersham/Chesham finishes cons difficult for accomodation at start
Amersham start Chesham finish same as reverse
Brixton start Amersham/Chesham finish pros interesting twist cons untested an accomodation in Brixton no thanks

Amersham/Chesham start Brixton finish same as reverse but better accommodation options
Amersham/Chesham start Epping finish pros interesting twist cons Roding Valley
Epping start Amersham/Chesham finish pros guaranteed Hainault loop cons distance between start and finish points for cars.

My vote for the route is first Chesham to Amersham or vice versa (I think with something like this we're unlikely to get a GWR anyway, and this will be my first FNC if I do do it, so if we complete it I'll be happy - GWR attempts can be done elsewhere) or alternatively Amersham/Chesham to T5 (or T4 to Amersham/Chesham) as they are relatively close together.
