==About the event==

'''Being held on Saturday August 6th 2005 1pm-Late'''

at 

'''The Tap and Spile Inn, 

'''10-16 Gas St '''

'''Birmingham '''

'''B1 2JT'''


The Tap and Spile is an oddly old-fashioned English pub - odd because it's only a couple of years old and its nearest neighbours are the ultra new bars of Broad Street. It is an oasis of tranquillity and charm, however, amidst those temples of yuppiedom and its extensive range of real ales, cider and cheerful grub make it well worth a look. It ranges over three floors and must have about six or seven separate rooms, all of which have a quaintly cosy feel. An ideal spot in which to relax and watch canal life drift by. 

There will be a fully stocked bar with bottled beers, real ales, draughts, spirits and liquours and plenty of soft drinks and food is availabile for order until 10pm. The management of the pub have asked for attendees to please not bring your own food to the venue. They have a full snack and meal menu at incredibly reasonable prices (most expensive meal on their menu is their mixed grill which is £5.95).

Children are welcome but must be restricted to the private function room at all times. 

The room itself has an old-world charm yet offers beautiful views over the recently refurbished Gas Street Canal Basin which now forms the very heart of the restored and flourishing canals of Birmingham. 

If you require specific directions to the venue then email me at jona.rpgnet@gmail.com 

Depending on attendee numbers there will be a small fee to cover the room hire (the total cost for the room is £100 so I am expecting a fee of £5 (or less depending on numbers) to cover it).

'''Don't forget your dice!'''



'''Please note: due to the cost of hiring the room there will be a charge for attending. The charge will be dependant upon the number of attendees but we need to cover at least £100 - so it should be in the region of £5 a head, not unreasonable for room hire for 13 hours!'''
