Arrive Saturday, stay overnight. Bring a sleeping bag. Alcohol's okay once doors shut to the public. Then we have the place to ourselves until they open again midday Sunday. We're looking at £10 a head, maybe more if it's a poor turnout. If necessary, I'll chase up an extra fiver or something.

To attend please paypal gift £20 to pubjoe@gmail.com

Payment is for the overnight session 12:00am - 12:00pm (Saturday night to Sunday midday).

Allowance will be made for some arriving early and leaving late. Bit I can't promise we'll avoid daytime entry fees if everyone shows up midday Saturday! Likewise, you're able to leave early if need be.

By the way, HoG's normal weekend opening times and prices are
Saturday - 12:00pm to 12:00am - £10 all day
Sunday - 12:00pm 10:00pm - £8 all day

Normal business will resume in the above times. We have the place for a private party overnight (please no booze until then). Personally I plan to get there early afternoon on the Saturday and will probably linger on for a while on the Sunday too. If you can't make it until late on the Saturday then that's fine - to be honest it's ideal really as I can't promise Saturday entry will be included free. Basically if we all show up early, that's great, but it might be taking the **** a bit to invade Hog for a whole weekend without paying any more than the overnight charge. If only a few show up early then I'm sure there'd be a bit of leeway for that. This obviously depends on everyone's plans so we'll have to play that part by ear.

[Devil Soundwave]

I'm in. Won't be sleeping overnight though given I live in London.

[pubjoe]

Well you don't have to sleep. But you can stay for a few hours of the lock-in yeah?

Saturday day won't be private so no alcohol to be consumed on premises until the doors lock. Works out cheaper, and probably better to hire the night.

No sleeping eh? Will there be spooning?

Probably stick about yeah. May still be off the booze though.

[pubjoe]

We'll see about that.

[cools]

Ticket time.

[yosai]

I'm working that day but as I work just down the road I should be able to make it by 7PM.

Got the Sunday off too.

[cools]

I'll be there about 3.30 on the Saturday, and heading out just before midday Sunday

Nice I saw him at the South Coast Slam last.

Count me in as it's a short drive for me, early evening.

[LAW666]

This is good news! I will check with the old lady to make sure I'm not already booked!

Am I ok to bring a couple of guys with me? or is it forum goers only?

[Neo'nate]

Paid up, look forward to it gents.

[pubjoe]

Excellent.

That's probably ok but can't say 100% just yet.

[trev1976]

Would love to go but its quite a trip. We'll see

[cools]

I'll have trouble giving people "hilarious" anecdotal custom ranks if they're not forum members.

Southampton to London is only about an hour and a half. Who wouldn't want to drive to London to sleep in a drafty shed with a load of arcade stuff?

Good point

[Stompp]

Darn I've got the kids that weekend. A trip to London would have been ace. Not to mention visiting HoG. Just a question of stashing the missus someplace meanwhile
Oh well, I'll join in virtually - play a few credits at home and swing a pint or two.

[cools]

Livestream takeover?
