Camp Sparkle 2012, tah dah!
Oct. 17th, 2011 12:37 pmRight! I have News.
nopseud and I have had swift and to the point email discussions following
trumpeterofdoom's post about the NKOTBSB tour, and conclude the following.
Camp Sparkle at the 1908 Lodge in Portsmouth should take place on 27th April - 4th May 2012. (It is slightly cheaper than we expected so the cost per person for accommodation only will be £127.)
There should be a Field Trip to the O2 Arena on Saturday 28th April to see NKOTBSB in concert.
All in favour?
We will deal with official sign-ups for Camp when
nopseud has a bit more time available, but can you please comment to this post with a more-or-less confirmatory YES, I WILL BE THERE (or a woe-filled negative), so that we have some assurance that we won't have an empty house.
However, if you want tickets for the O2 concert, they go on sale on 27th of this month, so we need to get ourselves co-ordinated to buy tickets—assuming we'd like to go in groups rather than individually, which I reckon is more fun. My understanding is that fanclub members can buy up to six tickets. So please comment to say if (a) you want to go to the concert on the 28th, and (b) if you are willing to buy a bunch of tickets for other people.
(Incidentally, it seems we can park a minibus all day at the O2 for a prearranged parking fee of not too much, so I propose that we go up to London in the morning and spend the day doing… whatever people want to do in London. Anyone who is doing the Meet & Greet thing will therefore be handily located, and the rest of us can visit Greenwich Observatory, or the Globe Theatre, or go shopping, or whatever. I'll have to figure out the fuel costs for the trip, but it should be much better value than going by train or limousine. Unless you would all prefer to travel by limo, in which case I will obtain quotes!)
