Has the post challenge meet up venue been decided yet? (It would be convenient for me to know this before Friday.)

Also, I was wondering if our regular attendees from Sweden, Hakan & Patrick, are coming this year. It would be a shame if they missed the tenth anniversary edition.

Attending:

Tangy (the BOZO)
GU
TC95
The Orange One (Maybe)
Nozza
Nigel
A2 (possible +1)
The Raven
Garion
Tubeguru (Not really)
tractakid

Due to recently starting a new job, I have only been able to get Friday PM off from work. This means I won't be at Liverpool Street for the draw. If someone can text me the station once it has been selected, I should be able to get there in time for the 1pm start.

Was there any need in striking through my joke of an entry. The bit in brackets after it already negates it.

Should be fine you might want to text me at 1200 to remind me to text you! I might rush of in excitement and forget otherwise

Pushy parents insisting on 24/7 revision during study leave have only resulted in a "maybe" at the moment. It's not like I have an exam on the Saturday. Or on the Sunday. Or anything this week.

Not really. (Not really).


In all seriousness, I felt that the joke had passed so amended. No offense was intended.

I'll go back and remove the strike-through later.

A small chance I might show my face socially on Friday - but won't be running. (I know I said that last year...) Is the evening pub choice made?

I'm expecting you to win now you have said that!

Just to let you guys know, me and tractakid have decided to do a little video on the day so if anyone has any concerns of being on camera (like in the background), let me know and I'll leave you out

I am regretfully pulling out of tomorrow's event. I am going to Lords to watch England play Sri Lanka on Saturday (my birthday) as a present and I therefore need to be at home tomorrow to do the exam revision I would have done on Saturday. I am disappointed seeing as it's a big anniversary
When do things kick off again after the R15 this Saturday?

Can we advertise this seeing as it's the 10th anniversary and all that?

Oh, and just to make things even harder for four commonplace Zone 1 changes:

- There's lift refurbishment, and therefore just one lift running, at Goodge Street, Russell Square and Queensway.
- For those changing from Jubilee to Piccadilly at Green Park (which I predict will be quite a few people), there's reduced escalator service at Green Park.
- There is no down escalator at Knightsbridge (Sloane Street ticket hall), for those doing Sloane Square to Knightsbridge, so you may have to use the Brompton Road entrance.

There are also escalators out of action to/from the Jubilee line at both Waterloo and Westminster.

If I may also be rather tantalising, from my detailed reconnaissance over the past week, there is something else which has changed since last year which could waste significant time on some routes if challengers are not expecting it (and some time even if they are). However, I'm going to be mean and not say what it is.
