I'm a little dinosaur, but I'm planning to go away.

OK, I wanna go to this.

It seems the only way I can go is to be the adult accompanying a child.

Anyone got a spare child to lend ? Thanks. I promise I'll keep at least half an eye on it.

You need five, don't you?

[identity profile] venta.livejournal.com 2010-01-19 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not quite sure. The original article I read made it sound like you only needed one, but I agree the one I linked to suggests five. Bother. Not sure that's worth it ;)

The official rules are pretty strict:
  • smallest possible group is 1 adult and 5 children
  • all children must be 8-11 years old
  • for an all-girl group you will need 1 female adult for every 5–6 children
  • for an all-boy group you will need 1 female or male adult for every 5–6 children
  • for a mixed sex group you will need 2 female adults or 1 female and 1 male adult for every 5–9 children
Oh, and it's 45 quid per child...

You could ask if they need volunteers. You'd have to do some work, rather than just participate, but could be good.

Surely they'll realise the potential and hold an adults-only sleepover at some point... surely :)

I might be able ot get you along as a helper on a Rainbows trip for this..very lttle actual sleep is likely though..

[identity profile] venta.livejournal.com 2010-01-20 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't Rainbows younger than 8 ?

If you're doing something exciting and need a helper I might be persuadable. I'm not CRB'd though!

Ever since I first heard about this, I've wanted to go back in time and make them do it when I was a kid. Pout.

You can borrow Bea if you like!

I'm charmingly child-like if that's any good?

They need to be aged 8 -11 if you believe the article... But I advise checking their own website as the journo may be mistaken.

Sadly you'll have to wait 3years to borrow mine!!

[livejournal.com profile] keris fits in aged 11 clothes. Will that do?

[identity profile] serpentstar.livejournal.com 2010-01-19 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I can probably loan you one, if you can find another 4!

[identity profile] venta.livejournal.com 2010-01-20 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.... collecting together I've got Anwen, Kyle and Bea... [livejournal.com profile] keris who can pass for 11 (despite being older than me) and [livejournal.com profile] secondhand_rick who is "charmingly childlike". It's a plan!

Although now it's been suggested, I can't help thinking that Will's idea (http://venta.livejournal.com/322696.html?thread=4708488#t4708488) is much more sensible!

Thank you. Don't take all your acomplices on the same night, too many to hide

Hide!

With the number of rucksack carrying tourists in London, especially in better weather, just take your sleeping stuff, go for a browse around in the late afternoon and HIDE at closing time. Find a warm corner, maybe with the feathered dinos, sleep for free and head off home the following morning. No problem.

You may need to consider getting technical help with disabling the CCTV and alarm system, thus allowing extended touring of the museum at night. And a headtorch would be useful, to allow both hands free while climbing the Tyrannosaurus.

Enjoy!

That's a much better idea!

It looks awesome.
You could borrow Anwen as I'm sure she'd love it but it may be more hassle than it's worth to get her there.
