£9.50 off any train journey in the uk, expires july 26th, so the meet up is covered. Now all we need is 3 different codes from the Sun over the next few days, but you do have to book through redspottedhanky.
Yes you do and they do free home delivery so no faffing around getting our tickets at the station. Today's code is RAIL. You can also get your London travelcard for the trip from Red Spotted hanky so saves another 10 minutes at Euston.

So has the venue been decided yet?
Looking forward to meeting you. When I first thought of it and asked my dear friend prettyxcool if she would be willing (she was more than willing as she is such a fabulous lady plus it was her idea to have a London get together - we are so like minded it's untrue) to sort out the London side of it I had visions of us Manchester crowd meeting up with about 3 or 4 of you for a quick bite to eat and now it is going to be an EPIC event :cheer:

For those wanting codes for Redspottedhanky. This update was posted on MSE :tears:

DUE to due high demand, our £9.50 off train tickets offer with redspottedhanky.com is no longer available. Unfortunately, all 30,000 unique codes, plus an additional 9000 have now all been issued. Therefore we will not be printing any further codewords in The Sun, as customers will not be able to participate. We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment.

Yeh just booked my tickets 06:55 from Manchester returning on the 19:20 for the fabulous price of £13 and that's including my travelcard for zones 1 and 2 :cheer: I used 2 accounts to book it and it accepted both codes from the Sun - my account and Rosie my cat's account. ;)
