[beer today]

hoping to be there tomorrow, will be working in the morning- BT reprogramming 300 exchange line numbers for us, so providing they do what's been asked all should be good, however you never know with BT.

I'm planning on turning up for the first time, it does depend on my 3 year old stopping throwing up constantly though.....

[TheMumbler]

I'll be there, lancsSteve is possible but doubtful when I talked to him yesterday.

[unclepumble]

Should be a good meet, I look forward to meeting you all, I have bumped into you before though Mumbler at skipton.

I'm looking forward to it.

Ah the Mumbler has talked me into it - my he's persuasive!

Good thing I did all my bottling last week then eh? Will bring along the 4 variations of the 4 shades of stout, maybe one or two bottles of the decoction madness lager (precious bottles mind) and some of the brewed-like-monks Belgians that are still kicking about + other odds and ends.

Wife and baby have gone off for the weekend so I can get on with writing up my 5000 word assignment... but wife was even encouraging that I should go as "it might be the only one where you won't have Saturday guilt" for a while...

And maybe if two of us come from Lancaster we can make a good case for hosting a future one here, it really is a MIGHTY fine city for real ale and has good train links and some great accommodation too.
