I have been searching for Surrey close on google maps but I can not seem to find it :/ how close is it to the nearest station which I believe would be Richmond?

I do not think I am going to drive due to being caught up in Londons congestion zones and the distance to travel would be cheaper via train.

Regards

I'm planning on using the train - from the North I get to King's Cross, take a cab/the Tube to Vauxhall and then a fairly regular train runs from there to Richmond station - it's not much of a walk from there. Kew Gardens might be closer but I know the walk from Richmond better, so that's what I use :)

I'm not sure when I'll be there I'm afraid :P but if you give Jack and co. a call in advance they can provide good directions from the station. (alternatively look for a badly dressed long haired youth carrying a large case and looking distinctly out of place, that might be me)

Righto, saturday looks bleak for me on the controller front as the guy on ebay sent it to the wrong address and has not been able to resend it back out again, would anyone have a planet t5 I could borrow for antsstares battles? Or do the recievers once bound never bind again?

You can re-bind receivers as many times as is nessesary, Pete W is the only person I know who I think has a spare Planet 5, dunno if he going to use it at RFRC though.
