Schedule! And Friday night dinner

This week is a big week for the organisation team, as we are finalising catering details, printing arrangements, DVDs and many other things.

Schedule
Excitingly, the Schedule is now final and can be viewed on the website. We have tried to fit as much into the two days as we could. Saturday, in particular, is a big day. The good news is that we will have an extra 'breakout' room available for use if you get vid/panel fatigue and wish to gather there for a quieter chat or time out. We will also be providing invigorating beverages (aka tea and coffee) at strategic times.

Please remember to purchase your Saturday night dinner tickets (by March 6!) if you wish to attend the buffet before the premieres show.

Friday update
As quite a few of us will be in Cardiff early, or at least arriving on the Friday, we thought it would be nice to get together informally before the con officially kicks off on Saturday morning.

We are planning some informal Friday afternoon activities--basically a bit of a wander round Cardiff, hunt out some Torchwood-y places... assuming the weather isn't miserable! I'll post details on that soon, but meanwhile, we also thought it would be nice to get together for dinner at The Terra Nova pub in Cardiff Bay.

We will gather at 6:30 in the foyer of the hotel and go from there for a 7pm dinner session. It's bar service so we can each pay separately, the menu is viewable here. As it's Friday night, we anticipate that it may be a little busy, so don't expect super-speedy service but that will give us more chance to chat and hang out. :) We do need to book a table though, so if you would like to come let us know in the poll below by this Friday 11 March.

Extra incentive: our local pub-scout, [info]beccatoria, tells us this pub is owned by the BRAINS brewery, whose slogan is 'It’s brains you want!'. Zombie beer ftw, y/y? :D

Poll #1714131 Friday Dinner

Squee, so excited! :D

Question, possibly I am being dense - how does one go about purchasing a dinner ticket separately from registering?

That is an excellent question!! Umm. *looks around for [info]buffyann* I will clarify this for you ASAP!

It occurs to me that you probably have to just a) tell us and b) transfer 12 pounds to the vidukon paypal account. But I will confirm this!

Yes, just confirming what boppy said. You have to send us £12 by tonight and I'll update your registration. Also, clearly let us know who it's coming from in the notes so there is no mistake here :)

My arrival time on Friday will be dependent on my hosts, [info]absolutedestiny and [info]braver_creature, but if we get there early enough I would love to see some of Cardiff and have dinner with you.

No worries! :) We chose a pub partly so numbers could be a little flexible--if a few extra come at the last minute, that's ok, so we'll book assuming you can make dinner, and work something out depending on your timing. :)

Do you have a vague time for the Friday afternoon Cardiff looakbout stuff? Just because I want to book my train tickets early.

March 6 2011, 12:36:22 UTC 1 year ago

you'll have to wait till Bop get up cause I am not sure about the afternoon plans. But I'm sure she'll be able to give you a window in which it should take place :)

[info]cosmic_llin and I won't make it there in time for dinner as we can't leave London until we both finish work, but hopefully we could maybe join you after for drinks and chatting?

And the schedule looks awesome! :D

March 6 2011, 23:29:47 UTC 1 year ago

Ohh, I just saw this, can I still pay for the buffet dinner or is it too late? Uhm...I'll pay anyway just in case :D
(because right now I can't for the life of me remember if I have done it already or not...argh! sorry :D)

[info]phantomas

March 7 2011, 11:16:56 UTC 1 year ago

Our work schedules are up in the air atm so I don't know whether we can make it on time, but would love to attend if we can. We'll have a better idea closer to the time. :)

[info]bop_radar

No worries! We chose a pub partly so it would be flexible for numbers--if you can make it, that's great (even if you join us a bit later)!
