Daryl

Jellycat, Welshscrapqueen and GillyB are meeting me for tea/dinner on the Wednesday evening at the Fleur de Lys, Dorchester

Anyone else is welcome to join us :)

On Thursday I and Gillian are staying at the Premier Inn so tea is likely to be there/thereabouts - and I suspect it'll be everyone at that one as most (all?) will be stopping over Thursday evening

Is Dave's Lap dancing included in the price of the course Daryl - or is there an extra charge ??
 
I feel a bit sick at the thought of this...

You will happily add a £20 or two just to start covering him up.... :)
 
Anyone travelling down from the North West (Lancashire) on Thursday morning & want to car share? Or can be picked up on way down the M6?
