What ancient list did you copy, Horatio?

Hot drinks are now a no-go-er chaps and chapesses, although we will have a beautiful array of homemade cakes for sale.

Also, due to the nearby pavillion not being complete (long lead in on ebay supplied curtains, not a joke), toilet facilities are also a no go. The nearby Waitrose has some wonderful bogs however. There is a glut of bushes and trees to widdle on also.

Fixed Newcastle team name.

any provisions for wet weather? eg gazebo etc.

if wet, it'll take place in the Scout hut ;)

60 players under a gazebo!

Josh, if it rains you will be provided with a complimentary dose of HTFU.

i look forward to it :-)

Mandatory for Manchester living...! Rain? We'll be fine....

trains coming out of kings cross are sub-suburban so its basically a local train that goes the extra mile for you the customer. so no need for reservations or bike bags, when i ask he said there probably won't be a problem but if we get a pissy ticket inspecter he may ask for bikes to be spread out and considering something like 13people are planning on getting the 9.15 i don't think that's too unreasonable. other stations, routes and trains i don't know about.

Awesome. I guess i'll probably try and get a train around the same time. Any idea of costs ? And do I have to book a ticket ??

£36.50 if you book in advance- add another fiver if you buy on the day of travel.

A bit like the 2nd London BFF tournament!

wtf? for a day return? where the fuck have you been looking? if you get a saver return shouldnt cost you more than 20 squid..

Yeah - £14 on thetrainline.com

(maybe i'm confused and you're not travelling from London)

this was my reason for asking in the first place! i was extremely cold that day..

It was shit.

It was amusing.

cheapest i can find is a £29 return. bollox !

Should be fine. Just do this:

I really wouldnt bother booking tickets in advance, the cambridge line is shit and stupid (seriously) if you rock up to Kings X on saturday morning a saver day return should cost you less than 20 quid from one of the fast buy ticket machines. there are no seat reservations or maximum capacity on the line, so no worries about not getting on...

If you sort yourself's into groups of 4 you can get a groupsave and it will be cheaper still. Must all travel together though.

should be fine. and should cost 20quid for same day returrn. i have only had the ticket inspector check once in the doxen or so time i went to cambridge.
i have seen at least 5 bikes in one car before on the trains after rush hour.
9 am on a saturday should be fine.

I got myself, Bill and Ollie(Salmonchild) open day returns for £13.20 yesterday. Use thetrainline.com and see if you can get a couple of people so you can do group save. I wouldn't have expected it to be £29 though, last time i cycled to cambridge return by itself was £9...if you on the trainline.com looking at times and fares theres a thing that allows you to see if its cheaper to buy two single. usually cuts the price by quite alot.

we are hoping to have a small marquee up what shoukd keep the rain off some

Is it cool to drive the car straight up to the court, or can I park on the streets around the park?

plenty of space on the roads around the court, and no restrictions as far as we are aware. roads are only 20m away from the court.

both oxford teams should arrive together (being in the same van will help) and we'll aim to be in before 11 to register

looking forward to it!

Marquee will be there :)

that's meters not miles or minutes by the way (hah im probably the only one confused)

metres eddie :)

I'm really excided about this, going to be my first tournement! :-)

Might even have working brakes (note plural!) for it!

have you sorted two so it takes you (hopefully) twice as long to break them both ;)

cant wait, gonna be super fun!

Exactly.

I'm actually seriously thinking about having 4 brakes and a double drive train for that reason... the ultimate in safety bicycle.

dude thats just more shit to break/fix/chewyourflesh with!! dont do it!

oh dear louis...

Shame, I like the idea of a bike with a double drive train...

hmmm would it make a brakeless bike road legal?

dont listen to them louis. You do your own thing...just stay the fuck away from me with that 2 wheeled chain saw.

Unfortuantly as long as I live more than a couple of miles from a court I don't see me playing polo on my double drive bike... (not mention getting another bike past my girlfriend) so you don't need to worry, it's just a theoretical bike...

Vidal: You didn't fuck anything up, just confused me for a second!

Yep, we've got a marquee and also I have found in my garage a huge roll of plastic sheeting that we can use to cover bikes etc if there is a sudden downpour.

Also, I'm really excited.

Matthew, any good breakfast spots you can recommend?

covering my bike in plastic always gets me excited. @Tom just don't sleep after piques party ;)

there's a wok-n-grill with all you can eat chinese accross the road

or Waitrose is always your friend for morning snacks

I mean a place where I can get a decent plate of baked bean & scrambled eggs on toast and a decent cup of coffee!

Outside of London ??

Dream on son.

I know, im just messing with you I actually have no clue.

I think there is a pub near so If they do saturday breakfasts you're in luck, but can't promise anything.

Just make sure you arrive a little bit earlier so you have time to wonder around a little bit.

Trumpington is a cultural dessert ;)
There's some greasy spoon cafes in Cambridge itself 2 miles up the road. nearest one to the train station is on Mill road .
