Some final film instructions for the 15th November

[Frances]

Sorry about the length of this.......

As promised, here are some final instructions for 15th November, plus a list 
of whom I have tickets for. I am having a few personal problems at the 
moment, so I hope this all makes sense. If not, please let me know. I will be 
posting bits of this in different places (Scared_Potter, HPfGU London, COS 
LJ), so apologies for the cross-posting

I know that there will be other people joining this group for both the 
afternoon and evening screenings. Unfortunately I haven't been able to 
track down all the names, so I have just listed those I have actually 
purchased tickets for.

OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS

FRIDAY 15th NOVEMBER 2002
A) KINGS CROSS -- BEFORE THE FILM

A meeting is planned at Kings Cross Station for anyone who fancies the 
idea of photos at platform ten and three quarters -- no running at the wall 
please. It's a long time since I have just gone to a platform at a station and 
once upon a time one would have to purchase a platform ticket to get 
through the barriers. I don't know if this is still the case. Be prepared to 
maybe having to buy one.

The time: 10am (to give us time to fool around at the station)
The place: Kings Cross Station. Please loiter around Platform 9. Just look 
for the strange people dressed in red/gold or green/silver!!! 

If you are planning on coming along, please let me know 
(frances.potter at ...)

I understand that there are major works going on at the station and that 
you need to get to Platform 9 through "the back door", whatever that 
means. The station has its own tube station (Kings Cross/St Pancras) and 
can be reached on the following underground lines: Victoria, Northern, 
Circle, Metropolitan, Piccadilly or Hammersmith & City.

For a London tube map, check out http://www.multimap.com/map/

If you check out this map for the Arran Hotel (where several of us are 
staying), Kings Cross is near Euston Station (top right), Leicester Square is 
bottom right. http://www.london-hotel.co.uk/where.html

We'll be leaving Kings Cross by about 11am, unless people want to stay 
there to have some lunch etc. Otherwise we can get the tube back down to 
Leicester Square (Piccadilly line)
-----------------------------------

B) THE FILM ITSELF
AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE
The time: From 12.30pm
The place: Odeon Leicester Square. 

Meeting point: In the centre of the Square is a statue of Charlie Chaplin. 
There is (or there was on 27th October) a statue of a flying cow complete 
with cloak as well (just don't ask - I have no idea why there is a full-size 
flying cow statue).

IN CASE OF RAIN: We'll be outside the cinema or somewhere under cover

For those coming on the tube, you need either Leicester Square or 
Piccadilly Circus. It's a little further to walk from Piccadilly Circus, but tourists 
might like to have a quick look at the Statue of Eros, which is Located at 
Piccadilly Circus.

Head Girl Ina has a BLUE HP UMBRELLA with Harry, Hermione and Ron 
on brooms looking for the key. She will be waving it around near the flying 
cow!!!!

PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 1.10pm. 
I will remain outside the cinema until 1.10pm at the latest, so if you arrive 
after that, it will be too late. My mobile phone number is 07734 106836. 
Can someone from each little group make sure they have this number so 
they can contact us in case of problems in getting to the cinema.

EVENING PERFORMANCE

The time: From 7.30pm
The place: Odeon Leicester Square. 

Hopefully we would have all met up by this time. If not, we can meet up as 
above from about 7.30pm. 
PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8.10pm. 
-----------------------------------

C) BETWEEN SHOWS
The film should be finished by 5pm. With the later performance not being 
until 8.30, we have plenty of time to chat and eat etc. Michelle has kindly 
booked tables at Pitcher and Piano, 40 - 42 King William IV Street, WC2N 
4DO. It is a short walk from Leicester Square). If you have already ordered 
food, then Michelle will be sorting that out.

For those not eating there, please note the time of evening show - we'll all 
meet up again at the cinema. Remember it will probably take a little while to 
get served at this time and you need to be back at the cinema by about 
8pm. 

For those only coming to the evening show, you can either join everyone 
earlier in the evening at the Pitcher and Piano (we promise not to give away 
the plot) or meet at the cinema. See note above about times.
-----------------------------------

Well, I think that is probably as clear as mud. If there are any problems, 
please post onlist or email me directly.

Thanks
Frances
