To celebrate the opening of the English history chocolate section, the museum is having a launch party on 16th.
So, I thought we could have a meetup there, to have a look around the museum and most importantly sample some chocolate.
There's events on all day, but I though it best, if we meet there early to avoid the crush. I will attach the full programme of the day later, so even if you don't want to join the group earlier, you can still attend later.
Hope to see lots of you there.

Hi veryone,
I'm prone to getting lost! Fernandale didnt seem to exist, so went along with the ferndale road that journey planner gave me. When I got there it was a small church and I didnt dare go inside and ask if it was a chcoloate museum! It happened to be pouring down with rain too so after 1 hour of looking I gave up and just got home. I tried to get hold of the internet via my mobile while I was out, but it kept crashing, as it tends to do when im in trouble! I really want to come to the festival next week so il practice the route in advance. I gave myself over an hour to find the place this morning. Il extend that to 2 hours for the festival next week. Sorry again!

Hope to see everyone there later this morning. I'll be wearing a black leather jacket, orange skirt and knee high boots, sooo I should be easy to spot. X
