What time should I get to the party?

• The doors open at 10pm. However, if you are coming on a long journey we understand people do sometimes arrive early, and we will let you in. Please understand that we will be running around doing all the final little jobs if you arrive early, and we will probably have no time to sit and talk. 

• We would suggest an arrival time of between 10.00 and 11.00, don't expect to find people in action as you walk through the door. Come in, sit down, have a drink and say hi to people and relax, no one is at their best in a strange environment after a journey, please don't come too late, as you may find the doors locked to keep out nosy neighbours ;).
