Re: Zone 1 2014- Friday 30th May
Has the post challenge meet up venue been decided yet? (It would be convenient for me to know this before Friday.)
Also, I was wondering if our regular attendees from Sweden, Hakan & Patrick, are coming this year. It would be a shame if they missed the tenth anniversary edition.

Re: Zone 1 2014- Friday 30th May
Due to recently starting a new job, I have only been able to get Friday PM off from work. This means I won't be at Liverpool Street for the draw. If someone can text me the station once it has been selected, I should be able to get there in time for the 1pm start.

Pushy parents insisting on 24/7 revision during study leave have only resulted in a "maybe" at the moment. It's not like I have an exam on the Saturday. Or on the Sunday. Or anything this week.

In all seriousness, I felt that the joke had passed so amended. No offense was intended.

A small chance I might show my face socially on Friday - but won't be running. (I know I said that last year...) Is the evening pub choice made?

Just to let you guys know, me and tractakid have decided to do a little video on the day so if anyone has any concerns of being on camera (like in the background), let me know and I'll leave you out ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Zone 1 2014- Friday 30th May
I am regretfully pulling out of tomorrow's event. I am going to Lords to watch England play Sri Lanka on Saturday (my birthday) as a present and I therefore need to be at home tomorrow to do the exam revision I would have done on Saturday. I am disappointed seeing as it's a big anniversary ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Can we advertise this seeing as it's the 10th anniversary and all that?

Re: Zone 1 2014- Friday 30th May
Oh, and just to make things even harder for four commonplace Zone 1 changes:
- There's lift refurbishment, and therefore just one lift running, at Goodge Street, Russell Square and Queensway.
- For those changing from Jubilee to Piccadilly at Green Park (which I predict will be quite a few people), there's reduced escalator service at Green Park.
- There is no down escalator at Knightsbridge (Sloane Street ticket hall), for those doing Sloane Square to Knightsbridge, so you may have to use the Brompton Road entrance.

There are also escalators out of action to/from the Jubilee line at both Waterloo and Westminster.The Orange One wrote: - There is no down escalator at Knightsbridge (Sloane Street ticket hall), for those doing Sloane Square to Knightsbridge, so you may have to use the Brompton Road entrance.
If I may also be rather tantalising, from my detailed reconnaissance over the past week, there is something else which has changed since last year which could waste significant time on some routes if challengers are not expecting it (and some time even if they are). However, I'm going to be mean and not say what it is.
