Enid Blyton Day 2007

Won't be missing for long! I might get Internet connection in UK, so I can still post, but for about 15 hours, I'll be on the plane. I'm scared. I have to be at the airport by 6:30 am, and have to get up at 5. And then I'll be missing.

I've got the consent form all ready, and it's safely tucked away in my suitcase. I'm very nervous about it!!

So you had better go to bed a bit earlier than you usually do.

Don't be nervous, I am sure you will be great. You don't have to do it, but at least with the consent form you can do it if you want - without it you wouldn't have had the choice!

I will do it.

[deep breath]

I've already taken a three hour nap, but will go to bed soon too!

[George@Kirrin:] If anyone is wanting me to bring any 78 related items for them to see let me know and I'll see what I can arrange

I'd love to see some of the original artwork for magazine covers etc, George, but only if you're happy to bring it. Also, didn't you once mention that you've got a German card game with stills from the series? It would be great to see that.

Ming the radio star - wow!

Ming, we have every confidence in you!

Unfortunately, I cannot join this Blyton Day because I have to work on next saturday and have to celebrate my birthday on the 13th may.

But I'm sure you will have much fun. Please describe everything in detail on this website afterwards.

Hi all.
Looks like Ming wont be the only subcontinental Blytonian up for fun and fantasy at the Day, I do hope to join in on the festivities as well..... but yes, I hope to learn even more this year on how to be unashamedly juvenile than I did the last time around.

I'm really looking forward to seeing some familiar smiling faces soon.

I hope you all have a wonderful time!
I was hoping I'd be able to make it, but am going to have to spend another Saturday house hunting as our original purchase fell through and no one has accepted our latest offers

I'd much rather be at the Enid Blyton day. Perhaps I'll make it next year!

Sorry you can't make it, Mollybob, and Yan too. Good luck with the house-hunting, Mollybob!

Last night Anita & I made the executive decision that the picnic is ON, although it may end up being in the Corfe Castle mini-bus!

Advantage - dry, and we can drive it somewhere more attractive than a Twyford car-park, and return to the pub afterwards

Disadvantage - the seats have head-rests which makes conversation more difficult. However, I don't think certain people will be deterred!

I shall bring a cool-box for folk to put their goodies in during the day, and plates, beakers, cutlery etc.

(Passing thought. Tony Blair was leader of the Labour Party before Ming was born. The day she arrives in the UK he resigns!)

I'm really looking forward to "The Day." The other night I dreamt that I was in a car and heading for the venue which I thought was somewhere north of London. When I reached the hall I couldn't see anyone there so I turned the car around and then looking back I saw the Enid Blyton fans arriving but I wasn't able to return!

I need to be at the docks by 8.30am tomorrow (Friday). The boat leaves at 10 and I've taken one book to read on my journey - "The Sea of Adventure."

I just hope I'm not too late but if that occurs I'm sure the Enid Blyton officials will be able to keep the hall open a little longer so that I can see everything.

It will have to be a very fast boat coming from New Zealand!! When you dock it is West of London.
