When I used to work for GCap I occasionally had to visit GWR Bristol and IIRC it used to cost about £20 in fuel and about a tenner in parking for the day at the NCP car park at the Marriot Hotel. I'd certainly be interested, not sure if my car will be sorted out by then and the wife usually needs our other car on weekends to ferry the kids around so if I could get a lift with someone that would be ideal :-) Is the invitation open to anyone? I just wonder if any other folks from other lists might be interested (I'm thinking the Ubuntu-UK folks for one).
