Double or single bed :girlgiggle:

But where do we put it? Or have you gone contactless (not a British tech so probs not)...

I'm planned to be working away but I genuinely would've come down for this. Fucksticks'

when is it, not sure the dates showing on my phone

Wed 26 Feb.

thanks

Pants optional?

Pants "not compulsory", I heard.

Too close to the STFC TE Butlin away day!

Any idea what time this is expected to finish?

Will an interpreter be on hand?

They usually book the room until, I think, 10pm and the last 30 minutes will allow for photos with Simon before we're kicked out.

That's what the provisional plan stated anyway.

Might have to be late for work

Ah, the joys of not knowing what I'm working more than a month in advance. Balls.

it's a sellout

How was it?

He was on top form. Was an enjoyable night, well done, Rich!

Brilliant evening. Simon was hilarious and the stories he told were top notch. The Tehoue one though.... Jesus!

Obviously I want there last night but I often wonder what PdC was supposed to have said to the Frenchman that was so bad that the racist card was played by him against PdC and the club.

It did get all hushed up and never got out in public.

Yarp.

Though some of us didn't win an easter egg.

What's really intriguing is that he told that one no problem, but wouldn't do the Benyon one.

Its a bit like Super Hans not wanting to go back into his own party.

It wasn’t an Easter egg unfortunately, it was a mug with some sweets in it 😄

I thought he was never going to give it to you, stood there for 10 mins with your hand on your heed..  :D

I love Simon ferry. Reckon he would be cracking in our team at the moment

Thanks again to those who made it to the live event last night.

Simon played for Peterhead (Aberdeenshire) the night before and was on an early-ish flight from Glasgow to Bristol the next day for his short stay in Swindon. Quite an effort!

Think he provided value for the £5-£7 entrance fee.

That’s why more people need to join STFC-OSC so they can organise more events like this :clap:

It was organised by Rich though, with supporters club help

Cracking night though, SC don't need people to join to host these events though, they just charge more for non members either way they still make money, and it shows the interest with both events being sell outs it's proving to be a good money making event I expect

The supporters club organise pretty much everything. For this one all I can take credit for is securing Simon as a guest, turning up on the night and trying to control the Q&A (Live episode 1 was easier in that respect!).

I think the OSC are trying to reach out to a broader audience and regard what I do as a good starting point.

As I indicated in a previous post, £5/£7 is ridiculously good value for what Simon provided. Professional evenings like that are likely to be more than double with extra to be paid for a photo. I will say now that I suggested charging more and the OSC wanted as a low as possible.

Agreed with the above. And the osc is only £5 for a year too

Makes sense, but either way fair play it was a cracking night and long may they continue, I think the SC have turned a corner in recent times with the new blood they have injected, they are more appealing than what they used to be

Thanks!

I think their current crop are wise to it.

When they approached me RE: sponsorship I said live events was something I'd be very keen to do and so far they going well.

Not sure Ferry can be topped though.

I reckon Moncur would be a decent one based on a podcast i heard with him, but I expect he would want top $
