So tomorrow (December 4th) marks the 15th anniversary of the forums, and while well wishes are being made on Twitter, I figure we should be celebrating in style in the place where it all began. The staff believe no expense should be spared on this momentous occasion. Therefore you are all cordially invited to a hastily arranged party in Beachingtown-on-Sea church hall. The roof leaks and it's a bit drafty sometimes, so bring your big winter coats. Drinks will be served as soon as our resident bartender ThomasandMatt arrives. In the meantime, there is a drinks vending machine in the hall that works reasonably well if you give it a wallop. In terms of nibbles, word is that MC Bunn have sent a special anniversary cake with a trusted escort from Sodor... {Spoiler} ...it's on it's way, but I'm not sure if we'll ever get a slice!Have fun now! *hurries off to organise some music*

*immediately rushes home to make post*
Sorry I'm late. I had just received the notification to do some bar-tending. Now that I am here, I can give the old vending machine a break, and do my job proper!
So, who wants to be the first to order?

Thanks... All the drinks are for me, by the way - we Yorkshiremen have big thirsts

Chris hows it going on the music front? Is it worth me giving Ringo a quick bell, see if he's free to pop by?

*Arrives in transit van* I was asked to bring my layout over for us Model Railway folk to have a play with. Where is the best place to set it up?

A splendid idea, WhitehouseFilms . I think you'll find that area just to the right in front of the stage is probably best. The roof leaks the least there any way! I did try contacting Ringo last week, Ian , but I got an answerphone message saying he's trapped at home due to the fanmail piled up outside (some dating back to 1975). It may be a while before they clear a path to his door. You're welcome to try again though! The disco should start shortly. We also have a small screening room through there (*indicates door*) that's showing SiF productions and music videos from over the years. Phew! Time for a drink now, I think. A pint of the best cider we have please ThomasandMatt . Or failing that, whatever cider we've got.

Well, after diving into the stores here in the hall, I found a jug of cider, Chris, and thankfully, it's expire date is well after Christmas, so I can give you that. And for Litchfield the A2, I have some Dr. Pepper here for ya.

*dashing on the floorboard*
I'm here, I'm here, ever so sorry...
*continues to pass by others present whilst given apologies and panting for breath*
Sorry I'm late, but you wouldn't believe the trouble with trains that I ran into. They sure don't beat the smooth running of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway - especially when it comes to idiots on the line. Anyway, I haven't missed any cake have I because I'm staving?

Right, right right right! I made it! Whew... I literally had to brave a Tempest to get here. A certain Great Western engines antics didn't help either but C'est la vie on that part. Anyhow, ThomasandMatt, I need you to hit me with a bottle of root beer if you could.
