Aquila, depending if it's just me or me and my brood, I can always give you a ride if you can get to Wokingham.  :)  Or if I go just by myself, I could join you on the train.  :)

Thank you for offering; that's very kind.  :)  I'm going to double check my schedule (sometimes I work weekends) and have a look at the trains.  I'm trying to convince DH to come along as he can drive, but I think he's a little apprehensive that it's going to be a gaggle of American women and he'll be outnumbered by us female Yanks.  Apparently, we can be a bit intimidating.

I’m leaning more and more on coming on my own and taking the train...  so it could be a lot of women in one spot.  ;D

I'm terrible at planning ahead and have family visiting at some point (in the travel industry and flying standby whenever it works in their favor) but I have added the 3rd to my calendar and hope to be there!

My husband will be coming, if that's any consolation.

Can we create some type of FB invite or something for those of us on FB? Asking only because I will probably forget the date (I NEVER actually check my calendar unless I know what I'm looking for LOL)

We can, but I can't be responsible for doing it.  I'm only friends with about five UKYankees over there, and I have never successfully managed an event/invites on Facebook.  Do you want to head that up?  *eyelash flutter*

Does that link work? It's a private event so unsure if you can ask to join or not - let me know :)
