Hmm

Post by juggler »

Getting very enthused about this now - I work for a Government Department based in Victoria (don't ask!) and our staff often do charity stuff and get in the staff newsletter, on the intranet website etc.

I'm just wondering whether I could work up interest in an "official" team from the Department. In addition to raising a wodge of charity money it might also act as a bit of closure for us - I know lots of my colleagues were really shaken up by it all....

It's a shame that I don't work in the Department for Transport - we could have got the Minister to see us off :shock: lol

I'm hoping 3 Jags (he bought an old XJS recently) doesn't take a great interest if I can get this off the ground - you'd be amazed at the kind of things they get enthused by... :roll: Although the team t-shirts might be quite amusing... :lol:

:!: Accommodation News :!:

Firstly, Nita Hurleys...

Its full. Nuff said.

Secondly... :!: Other Places to Stay, some reduced? rates :!: please read all of this before booking a place

I havnt been able to block book The Crown Hotel. But I have managed to haggle a reduced rate for us...

SGL...£90
DBL...£105

Still a shock I know but the manager will get back to me if she can reduce it further.
Folks booking here, quote your one of the Tube Charity Runners.
If they dont understand, ask to talk to Tanya Barrit.
Crown Hotel. 01494 721 541. 16 High St, Amersham, HP7 0DH

The Saracens Head were not keen on doing us a reduced rate (I did ask nicely!). Rooms free at this time are...

Single occupancy of any room is £50, but two people to a room....
3 Twin rooms...£35pp
3 DBL rooms...£35pp

To book, contact them on 01494 721 958. 38 Whielden st, Amersham. HP7 0HU.

Ive asked the Cherry Tree's B&B (01494 729 321) about discount and they havnt said out so I dont think they'll chop some cost off! I'll keep this updated on that.

Once your booked at any of these places, email me davidscardy@aol.com cos im compiling a list of who's staying where! If you need any other B&B details i'll try and help. Urgent contact at weekends: 07743 639 152

Any news on the sponsorship forms, any chance that they will be up by tomorrow, as otherwise, I will have to wait a while to be able to print any out and therefore get any contributors!

Just come home from the Queen gig in Hyde Park.

Victoria line trains are now stopping at King's Cross again.

May mean that the Picadilly stretch could be open before too long...

Having just considered the layout off Kings Cross, it is not possible to get to the Northern Line platforms without going via the Piccadilly Line concorse. Therefore until such time as the Police finish with the Piccadilly line site, it is unlikely that the Northern line will be stopping there.

Correct, and it is insensitive to complain about any such thing in the aftermath of such a tragedy. I apologise.
