Re: Bicycle Tour 2017 july 6-9th
Greetings all!
Is anyone planning on driving to and from the Frome gig on Saturday 8th (coming back that night)?
If so, would you have room for a not-so-small one?
Road snacks and "witty" conversation a speciality......
Cheers! xx

Re: 4th June Wardrobe Theatre
Hi Jesse!
Do you know what time this gig is?
It's the same day as the Bristol World Naked Bike Ride and, ideally, I'd like to do both!
Cheers, Ole

Re: Plymouth Performance
Anyone coming on the FunBus -
To leave enough time to get there, we'd better leave Bristol before 2pm.
If I start picking people up from 12.30 and aim to be on the motorway by 1.30 at the latest.
Sound reasonable?
Ole
