Ripper Conference 2009: London

[AdamNeilWood]

Facebook

Dear all,

For those on Facebook, there's a group for this conference called 'UK Jack the Ripper Conference 2009', and a dedicated event called 'Ripper Conference'.

There's a topic just started titled Sunday night?, which is exactly that - will you be staying over? If so, we might be in a good position to make a cheap block booking at a hotel which would otherwise be empty.

Get over to the Facebook group and have your say... comments will of course be copied to this board.

Cheers
Adam

Blimey!!!! 30 minutes? xxxxxxx

I understand a grubby movie is offered in the living room for a little bit, thus cutting down the time, heheh. You have to leave a bit of a margin between times, too, for a bit of a scrub down...

Adam, nah, the carpets are never too savoury in those places, I'm told. Best just stick to Dids.

Well, if I come, it would be from Friday evening to Monday morning. And I'd need somewhere to park a car. Somewhere where I can be fairly certain it will still be there when I get back to in on Monday.

One does not do public transport. One is not a member of the public

Travelling from Devon makes it pretty much necessary to give me a day to get there and a day to get back. Last time I was at a conference in London, 'Imself drove me into London, then drove home, then back again on the Monday morning. Not exactly an ideal situation. Which is why I always hate events in London.

These sort of luxuries don't exist in Walthamstow (where you pay by the minute, thank goodness ). You must be thinking of Brixton?

Ah, silly me. Haven't been to Walthamstow in many a moon. Thanks, Pirate

[Bailey]

Well, I'm going to commute in each day. No hotel bills for me.

PHILIP

Baggsies on Philip's spare room, or closet, or sofa, or coal shed.

(In the event I don't attend or can afford more elite accomodation I will auction off the above baggsies for charity)

I will be travelling down Friday, the earlier the better, visiting Islington on the Friday afternoon, to take in Stephenson related locations (I am obssessed ok!), Then staying over Friday night, Saturday night, and in all probability Sunday night too!

PHILIP

Me too.

It takes me 35 minutes to get from home to Liverpool St Station (on a good day). Handy that it's in London, at least for me anyway.

This will be my first...

Safer on the moon than Walthamstow, only go there in a tank

I think we need a list of conference virgins.

Hi Jon
I'd say Gatwick- Gatwick Express from there to Waterloo and tube to Aldgate or Aldgate East...... A taxi would cost you a years wages! (Let's put it this way- it costs £20 from Aldgate to Waterloo by cab!

Hi Suzi,

I think the Gatwick Express only goes to Victoria, not Waterloo. Then tube line according to hotel booked. Victoria line north to Oxford Circus, 2 stops, then change to Central line eastbound to Liverpool St, 6 stops. Alternatively, District line eastbound to Aldgate East or Circle eastbound to Aldgate, both 10 stops.

Can't wait!!

Get sewing, sister Suzi! Diddles needs a special conference rigout.

Love,

Caz
