This was my reasoning behind staying at the White Rabbit for the Friday night drinks. It doesn't matter what time people roll up, we'll be there and there's no need to try and track down what pub people are in. I'm not sure what time I'll be making it on Friday either yet.
See, I'm not just a pretty face
Agreed, Friday night will be at the White Rabbit, its pretty big so we'll be able to find somewhere to sit where we can't disturb the locals. Foods OK too, typical super pub food but fine.
(Opening post amended to reflect this)

You will be given a warm welcome
I notice your +1 has gone astray again
Can people make sure they copy the whole list please.
I will book the bowling on Monday, 4 lanes which will give us room for a few more people

That is quite frankly an insane route
Go here http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
and select planning you journey, enter 12/03/05, Woolwich and Maidstone.
MB
It's a pub with about 10 rooms, I suggest you book ASAP! your card will not be debited until your stay and you can cancel right up to the 12th if you need to. Your other options are the travel inn and a few others mentioned in this thread.

Newsflash: I have booked the lanes!
4 lanes, 20 people, starting at 3.30pm Saturday the 12th of March.
\o/
I can change numbers upwards. right up to a week or so before but the later I leave it the less likely I am able to add a lane, so if there are any straglers try to stop stragling at least a couple of weeks before.
