Yes.

I can also bring a Windows based laptop; the battery lasts about 90 
minutes, and a choice of Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast tea. I also have 
French Vanilla coffee beans I can grind up bring along as well as a 
plunger if coffee is a preference. (I'll also bring them on the actual 
night too!)

I'll also bring a pack of the Arnott's family assorted. It's been here 
at home, unopened for about 4 weeks, I guess nobody likes them at home, 
but I see their well appreciated at the club :)

Look forward to seeing you there :)
