Meeting at Del's Sept 2015

Details

Meeting at Craig's in Darwen, 14th-17th of May.

Travel

Flight times: Bert - Not booked yet, but flying to Manchester aiport:

Arrival: 9.30 or 11.55. No reason why Hannele and I couldn't meet in the city centre and get the 11am or 1pm train from Victoria.

Departure: 12.25, 15.50 or 17.00. Personal pref would be the 12.25, but I appreciate that some of us may not be in a fit state that morning.

Any thoughts?

Yes, here's one - I'm not driving to Manchester or Liverpool to get you there for 10.25 as it means hitting rush hour traffic :-P --Craig

Also - is there any chance you could go to Liverpool as you used to? I'm happy to drop you off at the airport on Monday, but if I had a choice I'd prefer to travel to only one airport instead of two. -- Craig

I've booked my flights. I'll be arriving at John Lennon airport at 9:30 am, so I should be able to make Manchester before noon. Bert: I'll text you as soon as I know what time I'll be in Manchester. Want to meet up at the station?

My return flight will be at 16:10, so no need to be there before 2 pm.

Craig: no need to drive me to Liverpool, I'll be booking a return ticket for the shuttle bus from Manchester. -- Hannele

Shopping

Supermarket on the way back from pickup. Usually the shopping bill is split between the 5 of us. Let me know if you're unhappy with this.
Can you let me know of anything that you would like by adding it to the shopping_list please.

Planned Activities

Friday

Tip for a potential DM: You could try here http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20030530b for some premade ones (I have read "A dark and Stormy Knight", which seemed reasonable - but is obviously spoiled for me). Not sure of the quality of the rest. Or you can try to build something around the things here http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/vv -- Craig
