Originally seen as a bit of Fiction but later proved to be possible in real life and in fact bettered by a few

Be on time or you will miss the train of people signing in the event log as we wave off the ghost of Philaes Fogg at 20:45 as he sets off to go round the world in 80 Days 

Dont forget to drop a TB into the pot to exchange and give them a chance to go round the world

This journey ends in 80 Days time in Pall Mall, Outside the Reform Club, Where else and at 20:45 on the 21st December, Wait for it and be there

Jules Verne originally published the story in installments starting on the 2nd of October and the last part on the 21st of December 1872 but it was not put together and sold as a complete book umtil 1873,therefore we Celebrate 150 years since the book "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours" was published in French and then translated into "Around the world in Eighty Days"

There will be, hopefully an Eighty Day Challenge to accompany these two events, it is envisaged that all will be able to take part, the format is being refined "Watch" this space
