The following people will be staying in York over the weekend:
- Andel (Friday only)
- XeryusTC
- JVassie
- JamieLei (until Monday morning)
- Jonty (with parents, Friday night only)
Cameras
If you're bringing a digital camera, or a video camera, please let us know here. At least one camera per group will be required for the game. In addition, Owen would appreciate any video of your journey, your time at the meet, or your group's part of the game, for the Meet 2009 video.
- orudge - Bringing DSLR and DV camera
- andel - Bringing a Digital Camera that does basic video

Activities
Andel will be running a little game that will require teams to have a camera, a pen and an ounce of common sense. Actually, just the first two will do as the third is not likely. The prize is a 00 Guage class 153 with the number 311, as renumbered by Andel.
The "WAGs"
Confirmed wives and girlfriends attending so far are:
- Helen Ronald (who hates being called a WAG)
- Natalie Merrick (is not aware she is a WAG, and probably won't understand.)
- Danni Matzk (Who also hates being called a WAG)
