Ben - are there any arrangements for lunch being provided or do we get our own from the shops?

There won't be any lunches laid on but there are plenty of shops and takeaways nearby. There's a McDonalds near the A46 roundabout (practically next door to the Sunday venue) and there's a subway and several takeouts in the opposite direction (and an Asda a little bit further). :)

I'm going to have to pull out due to feeling lousy, suspected tonsillitis. Sorry Ben. Gutted, was looking forward to seeing people again. Brown stuff happens I guess.... :(

Thanks again Ben, great craic and surpassed my highest expectations with that performance. Highlight - the girl at the pub. Lowlight - being roughly 70% of the most monstrous composite photo known to man.

Many thanks, Ben, and Ben's mum and everyone else involved. Once again, you've pulled off the best co-event ever.

Also once again, Ben, you suggested that you were unsure whether you were going to do a Hangover event next year. In my view it's very much part of COLIN weekend now, and a very enjoyable part too, and I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that we'd very much like it to appear again next year. All the work you do on these events is greatly appreciated by us all.

Thanks very much to Ben and everyone else who played a part in the organisation, I had a lot of fun. Was great to see so many of you, and finally see what the fuss was about after all these years!
