I should be able to come to weekend events (will confirm once the final schedule is published).
Unlikely to be able to attend the evening events in full as realistically I couldn't be somewhere in zone 1 until 18:30 due to not finishing work until 17:30 and then having to get in to town etc. May well come down and see you at the pub at the end of one of them though.

Perhaps at one of the tube events a MYSTERY GUEST might turn up? for the mouse event are we allowed to start where we like tosa or is it starting point fixed?

I imagine it will be a "drawn" station and group start time, pretty sure that was what we did in 2010

At the opening ceremony which we don't have this time, so my guess is a randomly drawn station all start at 1830hrs?

Fuller details of Event 1 (Mouse challenge) are now in a separate thread. Add your name there if attending this.

I think it's safe to say I'm ruling myself out of virtually all events due to university or work. I haven't been able to swap shifts (for the Friday events) and those Tuesday events are on my busiest day and I can't afford to miss lectures at the moment.
