Okay, the Kick Off Party will be happening on Saturday 31st October 3-5 at Buffet Metro. (This is all on google calendar as well as a map)
For those of you who don't know where buffet metro is it's by piccadilly gardens (fairly close to KRO) It's on the same row as Somerfield and Bella Italia, just keep walking to the right. It's only got a small sign but I think it's next to a photo shop? There's stairs leading down to it so you'll know it's the right one. There's a map on the calendar though so check it out.
I'll be there from about 2:45 and there'll be a big nano sign and balloons so you know where to find me! I'll also be briefing the staff there but cannot promise that they'll be helpful! I've got the official 09 stickers for you all as well as some other fun things and goodies!
Please try and make it if you can, it will be good fun!
Can you leave a note here if you are planning on coming (just so I know numbers ish!)
And also, if anyone wants my number for directions or if you want to meet me somewhere, private message me!
Cheers,
Emily x

I'll be there! I'm assuming I'll be able to find it from the train station, but I managed York Uni by train, so that should be fine. I have at least been to Manchester a fair few times, and I can remember where Kro was (I think...).

I won't be able to get to that due to work commitments. I'll be at the write-ins though. Hope you all have fun!

I'm having surgery on the 28th, so I don't think I can make it to the festivities on the 31st!
But I'll be with you in spirit, at least, and I hope to make a couple of meet-ups later in the month.

Hello,
Free stickers you say?
I've got the day off work on Saturday so I will try and come along.
This is my first attempt at this so it will be good to meet a few past winners and get some tips,

I plan to be there. I can't make any of the write-ins, since they clash with a pre-existing commitment, but this should be fun.

I am SO sorry for this, but it looks like we won't be able to make it after all in my house. Various things are happening and it's not good at all. I am very disappointed and will be there with you all in spirit! :D
