Hello all,

As the first meet-up organised by James was such a huge success and as he still has some Internet connection problems after moving home, I thought I start organising the next meet-up

As the holiday season soon approaches, I would initially propse to meet either end of April or start/mid May

1. 22 April 2006
2. 29 April 2006
3. 06 May 2006
4. 13 May 2006 (All dates are Saturdays)


As the venue was not only friendly and very accomodating, but realatively easy to find and big enough for 20+ people I'd say we meet again in the Wargrave Arms

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=527250&y=181250&z=0&sv=527250,181250&st=OSGrid&lu=N&tl=~&ar=y&bi=~&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf

If the initial response is positive I will ask Russ to put up another vote for us to vote on the day that suits most people...

Happy posting
Boris

I assume you mean Saturday the 21st April. Liam (starrman) has a gig that day near Angel tube. So we might be able to arrange something around that. However this would probably mean Liam couldn't take part in the afternoon activities. My 18th is the 10th May so I will no doubt be otherwise occupied on the 6th and 13th so the 29th probably sounds like the best bet at first thought.

I second the 29th, since I have exams the weeks following the 6th and 13th, although if Darv promises to be there on the 13th, I will change my vote.

Actually, I'll make an appearance regardless since, living 10 minutes away, it would be highly lame not to, but I won't likely stay too long on the 6th.

We should consider certain things:

a) Darvlay is coming over in May/June? And a previous thread discussed the likelyhood of us meeting then.
b) Most of us agreed we should wait until closer to summer for warmth/light issues
c) April and May are bad for exam revisions/holidays for a lot of us.

So, perhaps later in the year? Darv, when you coming to London?

Darvlay is coming for the 3rd - 13th May..right over my 18th celebrations so I expect to be shown how to drink the Canadian way 😛 It would be good to meet sometime over then. Thinking about I'm sure I could give up 1 day of drinking elsewhere to meet up with you lovely bunch of guys. Waiting for summer would be good also, because exams would be over for everyone (uni, I have my A-levels, RC has exams and I'm sure others do etc..).

What year are you in? In 2006, 21 April is a Friday.

Having a birthday meet-up sounds nice. But I guess I won't get anyone to come to Bodø on the 29th. :'(

I'll be in London from May 2nd to the 7th then in France from the 8th until the 11th and back in London until the 13th.

If you guys do end up scheduling the meet-up for when I'm in town, I will try and be there but I can't make any promises. However, I do hope that a few of you will do me the honour of tipping the glass with me on one of the nights I'm there.

There are already a few people favoring the 6th of May, I'm not bothered about either dates and I'm sure that if you indeed make an appearance many more people will vote for the 6th May ...

Oh and Liam, revison (gimme a break dude, I've been a student myself and for sure the last thing anyone ever did on a Saturday was revising 😛😛😛😛

So what do you guys say I'll send Russ a pm kindly asking him to put up another vote for a meet-up ??

I reckon you should wait to gauge more interest before asking for a vote. Ask James for the list of people who went last time and then message all of them.

fair point (although the vast majority of people who did come to the first meet-up read the forums) ... Give it a couple of days and we'll see
