Hi Mel,

Is the pub within walking distance of the NAM Question

Dewi and anybody who is unsure

5-10 mins tops for the Coopers from the NAM. This link should help (A is NAM B is Pub) or just ask a member of NAM Staff, the majority certainly know where Coopers is!

From what I understand the free W Britain figure will be given out prior to the evening event. W Britian have enough figures for all ticket holders but they don't want to be swamped by requests from the public who are only attending the daytime events.

I think you will receive your freebie once you have shown your ticket at the NAM's Art Gallery doors approx 17.20 - 17.30.

Now theres a thought, actually if I did that I think we'd be watching it from a local cop shop, honestly occifer, I just smell of gun oil and blackpowder!.

We hope to ETA around 3pm

Just so happens my wife and I are in London this weekend. Her 40th birthday present is 2 hours in the British Airways Boeing 747 simulator at Heathrow................

We finish at about 2PM so I will try to make the pub - if not see you all at the event. For some strange reason my wife would prefer to go shopping Rolling Eyes

Man, that's commitment.

Jon - thanks for the clarification.

Jamie....747 simulator? , you should have said "babe just forget that " bring her to the NAM and ask the Mighty Zulu nation to run full pelt toward her, tell her its a "Zulu wars simulator" LOL

If you did that, you'd probably find out how comfortable the spare room is!

Oh, go on then, the Coopers. It's Youngs so should be OK. Not a great pub area to be honest.

Anyone also planning to go to 16 Melbury Road where Chetswayo stayed? It's south west of holland Park and you'll be in cracking pub territory.

Before I forget, I just want to say, that I hope the event is a huge success and everyone has a great day.

Looking forward to hearing all about it afterwards.

Absolutely............... My wife has spent many a sunny day at the poolside in Isandlwana...... Zulu War battlfields are a switch off for her.

Don't despair. I daresay there'll be several of us up for a good drink and a curry after the event. Smile
