As i have made it to all the others so i plan 2 be there this Hogswatch and in answer to Ponders question its in Wincanton which is in somerset.

Note for possible newcomers most of the accommodation in and around Wincanton has already been booked by the regulars if you have not been b4 don't expect to find accommodation easily you need to find it well advance i think that for the hardier souls there will be camping at the racecourse available and sometimes the Green Dragon lets people camp on the floor of the shop but for more info check out http://www.artificer.co.uk/ and i think there has been a thread about Hogswatch accommodation on the stamp forum http://www.discworldstamps.co.uk somewhere in the kitchen table section i think but i am not sure exactly where.

does anyone have a caravan? and does anyone already have accomodation where i could kip on the floor?

somerset is a fair 200 miles away from me that puts a downer on it but i shall see

I'll be there, but staying at the in-laws an hour away or so. Ponder it's worth giving the shop a call and asking if they have more information about camping inside the Green Dragon, or somehwere else in town, for the weekend.

Yeah - I'm all too aware of the accomodation problems, so I'm thinking of doing one day again. This has the added advantage of giving me a bit of flexibility - I can decide more-or-less the day before whether to go or not, which (given how stressful the beginning of december is looking) may be neccessary...

On that note, I heard last year about a courtesy bus running to Gillingham station and back (of course, I heard too late to stop me ruining Lee's evening taking me to and from stations ). Does anyone know if it'll be running this year?

Mr Scrub

a) which shop would this be?
b) i don't like sleeping in dragons
c) got a spare room?

ok the last one was a bit silly but a and b i think are reasonable

That would be the Cunning Artificer's Discworld Emporium, High St Wincanton, Somerset - Tel: 01963-824686

Sheesh, students nowadays... don't know they're born! Just think of the pulling points you'd have when you could say "I've slept inside a real dragon! T'was comfy, warm and I slept the night thru and had breakfast on 'im the next day!"

Unfortunately, this Dragon is an antique shop so the only thing to get burned there would be bits of the full English breakfast the next morning (well, it may not be burned but as I understand it, burned bits are de rigeur, c'est ne pas? )

Yes, but sadly it's here in South Morpork, 121 miles away in the wrong direction

Hang on! Ponder, you're a student; what's all this stuff about sleeping??
