Went on Friday for a while and again last night. I had a great time. Good to see the usual faces etc. Beers were great and it was a fantastic event.

Thanks for the token Sammy! I can't recall what I got with it but I'm sure it was good.

Also - I'm glad you were able to get a refund on the second of the two beer tokens you bought (yup Sammy, you were spotted). God forbid you should drink a beer you've already had.
