    Good luck with that Richie. A real bummer but hopefully the bank will get things sorted sharply.

    Raj, it may be wise for you to bring some Oxygen supplies and plenty of tissue incase you get a nose bleed from traveling so far north ;)

    No updates yet, but I'd like to say that it would be great to get as many people going as poss!! The success of this show could have some bigger implications for the future, so it's nice to see everyone make a real effort and hoepfully more will come :D

    Thanks for the advice Lord-Tice. Going North is indeed very dangerous.

    Followers you must go to Empire Day, I decree it. Keeping the spirit alive after the films.

    Damn, this post should have gone in the Raj_Vader account.

    I admit, I killed Raj_Vader when he came to my residence seeking to save yoda.

    Here's the postcode Matt: EN8 9AJ

    if you go via the M25, Junction 25 is the best exit, and from there head onto the A10 Norhtwards until you hit College Road(B198) on the left, and then it's pretty much straight on and the Leisure Centre is next to the roundabout.

    I'm 100% defo going, but because I'm technically working during the show, I wont be able to spend quality time with you guys. However, it would be great to get a group piccy next to the Snowspeeder, so just let me know when you do it and I'll come over.

    I do not think, I will be in costume this time. Time to retire the thing and leave it on display.

    Shame, I just got a Darth Vader FX Saber today
    You'd look quite impressive with a Jedi outfit and a red saber

    OK, I suppose I could be tempted to go, but can I get some more directions please ?

    Where do you need directions from Steve??

    Are you coming up by car from Bournemouth or are you getting into London and making your way to Cheshunt via train??
    I can certainly do my best to give you some directions either way :D

    Not sure really, I will either go by train straight there or via London, whichever is easier?!!!

    Still not sure exactly where it is?

    Steve, I'm not sure if this is the most direct way by train, but I think all Bournemouth trains end up at Waterloo, in which case from there get a Nothern line train to Tottenham Court Road, and from there get a Central line train to Liverpool Street. From Liverpool Street, get a day return ticket to Cheshunt (not sure how much that'll cost) and the train will take roughly 40 mins from Liverpool Street to Cheshunt.
    The previous page should have a link to the train timetable.

    From the train station, basically head left and you should be on Windmill Lane, follow that all the way down and to your left you should see the Grundy Park Centre. And to get back, just follow the same instructions but in reverse ;)

    Hope that helps :D

    Argh! This one I really can't go to :( I have my business accounts exam on Monday 14th :_|

    Nonetheless, it should be a great day! I was looking forward to venturing into the wilderness, especially with the Sith might that is TDV to watch my back (or should that be stab my back [face_worried]) :p

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that RajVader is tied up and kept in a cupboard while someone sits at his p.c. and taps away? Only he never seems to turn up anywhere. Who is the imposter and what has he/she done with him? The hunt is on...

    Many thanks for the directions Matt, much appreciated.

    Seems like Raj has dipped out again!!!

    Has anyone got the US Wal*Mart and Target DVD's of ROTS with bonus discs yet?

    If you can make it Steve, that'll be grand. And I don't know of anyone who's got the bonus DVD sadly.

    Big news people
    There are railworks on the line between Liverpool St and Cheshunt on Sunday all day

    So you wont be able to get a direct train

    You'll have to change at Waltham Cross and get a bus from there

    Dont know how long that will take.......looking at other possible options and will post if I find out more

    EDIT: Apparently bus should take no more then 10 minutes, and they should be there when the train arrives at Waltham Cross.

    However, if you miss that bus you'll have to wait an hour for the next one, so leave the station quickly

    Thanks for the tip-off Richie. A real pain, especially this time of year, but a 10 min bus ride ain't too bad. Usually they make sure everyone that needs the bus is onit before they leave, so those going by train shouldn't have too bad a problem catching it.

    I think I will skip it. Don't really fancy dealing with the rail problems.
