Quick. One to anyone planning on using the Metro to get to the venue. It won't be running between Central Station and Gateshead Interchange from the Friday night all through the weekend. It is a good 15-20 minute walk (but certainly doable), or there are various taxi or bus options that wouldn't be very expensive. Just add a bit of time into your journey.

Saturday evening plans are being worked on as I type!

If you just want to play the one day that's also fine as I'm spare man so could drop in or out of the draw. It would be £15 for a one day entry which would include food.
Is Andreas joining us for both days?

What is not to love? Excellent eccentric venue with damn fine beer and a night out on the toon (if you don't get abandoned at midnight :-? ).

Not sure it's a good idea to go to this given that a very expensive-looking Eurobowl is very shortly after. Also, I think another Saturday night around Newcastle would kill me.

I'm in, you tarts!

Had a chat with Andreas at Ochilbowl and after exploring several options I think he is sticking with his initial one day plan :)

Cracking to her that the Tartzzler is attending!

Now we're talking! Although I remember a promise that you guys would be payment 1 & 2, not 17 & 18!!!

Looks like we have 18 (plus me) paid now, and a promise of a fair few more too. Could this be the biggest Geordie yet...?

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO GUYS!!!

Apologies if I've missed this, Dave, I've done my best to read the rules pack and thread: I assume I can turn down a double in favour of a normal if I so choose?

Looking forward to it!

Minor edit to clarify a couple of things.

Firstly, despite a problem with the venue around Block Around the Clock this year I'm happy to confirm that The Black Bull pub WILL still be our venue, and has confirmed our attendance. The ticket price is unchanged, and is including a meal Saturday afternoon and a proper Sunday Roast to mop up all the beer you'll be drinking on the night out!

Secondly, despite it only being June we have had a few people pay up already so I thought it was time to start a listening those fine individuals who will be gracing us with their presence. As you where ladies and gents...
"Firstly" I have already said hurrah about point 1, it will be great to be back in the Black Bull again.
"Secondly" Dave, where you on the sherry when you writ this? :wink:

Phil - Rules don't mention this but I'm very happy if you would prefer singles over a doubles choice.

Garrick - I blame attempting to type on a phone in a hurry! Sure it made sense in my head. Ducking autocorrect... ;)
