Regarding the tickets ordered in advance - are they going to arrive with the postal strike happening? I've not got mine yet and just 5 postal days to go.

yeah,
I havn't bought a ticket yet, Is it possible to buy now and collect @ the Door?

Panic...

Yeah, they said tickets would be available on the door.

The question is regarding those of us who bought tickets in advance and dont have them yet - can they be bought in advance and collected on the door if royal mail does not deliver.

Just wanted to note that I have now got my ticket in the post and I'll be wearing a dakka t-shirt, so keep an eye out for me and say hello if you see me!

.. a what now ?

Just something I had knocked up when experimenting with some merchandising sites. No plans to make them available to everyone but we'll see how it goes and what the quality is like after I've worn it for a couple of weeks.

..I think they'd sell better if they were clean and not.......oooohhhhh...

...from.. recent...bitter.. experience... be careful with Forum T shirts and GW employees.Seriously.

Slightly OT, but is Watford's Red Barrel still around?
