Err. Mark, if you're listening I called up Folly Bridge just now and they were not sure if the event was happening, they suggested you give them a call to confirm...

Don't shoot the messenger

Cheers,
LW.

there are cheap fares on the train too...you can book far ahead for them... i've heard a couple of weeks is enough in advance, will be a lot less than 120, maybe 20 if you're very lucky, most likely somewhere inbetween

with these fares you have to take the train you're booked on

And his suggestion to you using the White House is a good one! :-) Nice place.

Yes, some of us find Fawlty Tower...err the Nanford such an amusing place to stay, that we return

I'm certain that if I go there enough times I'll eventually see a rat or line of ants marching across my floor.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, The Nanford is a long way from the Folly..
But if you want to stay there that's up to you.

Now, as you may know, I will be running an area called "World 'O' Stuff" which will involve some more unusual games machines, and I'll also be selling t-shirts and stuff, designs and pre-orders will be available nearer the time.

I'll also be doing a few other things, like file transfer service for old computers to emulators - not confirmed yet, but I'll start a new thread on the Bleatings forum to ask if people would be interested.

Post here or PM me if you have any questions!

My memory fails me.

Is Abingdon Road the continuation of St Aldates as you go over the river and head towards (shockingly) Abingdon?

I have no clue of the area the event is held in so the nearer the event I'm kipping the better

Suppose the whitey doesn't work out, any other recommendations as a backup?

If you click on the location details on the Retrovision site, your question would be answered "Yes."

Yaurs. I fell fell victim to the debilitating not looking at the first page of thread disease.

Bags of places to stay near there. Hopefully not crab riddled cat pee smelling ones. I'm tempted to look at the prison website to see how frighteningly expensive it is (no intention of staying there though)
