Evening plans:
We are aiming to have the day completed by approximately 5.30pm allowing those that have travelled a little way to make it back home ready for a relaxing evening after a hectic day. We have not planned a specific party/evening event, however there is a very (very) strong possibility that atleast a couple of us will arrange to meet in a bar/pub in Brighton later in the evening. Leaving the plans more relaxed we will see who is feeling up for some evening antics on the day, and arrange as appropriate, of course everyone is welcome even if just for one celebratory drink! So for those that are local or staying in the area for the night there will definitely be something going on.
Where to stay:
If you are coming from further afield and looking to stay we do not have a specific place that we are arranging for people to stay at, how ever we would recommend taking a look at http://www.visitbrighton.com and if you are looking for a group booking we may be able to strike a deal with http://www.myhotels.com/my-hotel-brighton/index.html
