I'll be on 40.925/40.935

Where are people staying for this? I will either driving down late Fri night or most likely early Sat morning.

I received a large envelope full of useful info this morning

We are stand #39, situated downstairs in an alcove just off of a very busy corridor. We should get plenty of "passing trade".

I have requested electronic copies of all the documents to forward to everyone that's coming. Expenses must be in by 1pm Saturday, including receipts for hotels etc.

I'm just wondering if this venue is within walking distance from the beach, because thats where the National Express coach drops me off

Dave, come out of the bus station, walk west along the seafront (sea on your left) and you won't be able to miss the red-brick monstrosity that is the Brighton Centre

It's next door to the equally awful-looking Kingswest building (Odeon cinema and various nightclubs).
If you get to the much-more-elegent Grand Hotel, turn round 'cos you've gone too far!

I'm guessing it looks bigger on the map, because from pool vally coach stop to the center looks a long walk, whereas from the train station its very short. I'll show you the map I got of it if you want ?

Well I don't know what map you've got Dave!

It's about 1km from the station to the Brighton Centre, or about 400m from the bus station. I know which I'd prefer!

Judging by todays weather, you'd better pack your snow-shoes

BTW, don't bother with a brolly - Brighton seafront in the winter is like being in tornado alley. I had a works meal in a resturant one winter and we couldn't actually leave because the wind was pushing the doors shut....

Gary, is my brain failing (probably) or did you say that you had had some business cards made up? If so, I'll bring a stapler and we can attach some to some Pants plans...
