London Meetup II?

Well I might be jump-starting things a bit here... but I wanted to make a suggestion for a date before somebody beats me to it.
I just had this brilliant idea that if we could have it on the weekend around either the 5th of August or the 12th of August, I could come for a week or so because it'd be during my summer break.
Sorry if I seem to be rushing things, but any opinions on this suggestion?

I shouldn't really voice an opinion, as I have no idea what's happening between the end of June and the beginning of October this year. If I get off my arse and get a job at my uni and can afford three months' rent, then I'm up for anything meetup-wise. If not, I'll be in the States, and the London meeters-up will have to suffer through an evening without my shining wit, brilliant chess skills and unparalleled drinking prowess 😛.

I found out that I'll most likely be in London for a week in June. I suggest you have it when I'm there so all you gits can see my real-life charm skills in effect.

I'll probably be in London around mid/late July.

Well, I'm just gonna say up front that, while you know I love you Angie, I'd really like to have Darv over for it as well and since you got to come to the last one, if I had to choose, my preference would be for June. That said, I'm available myself at any point during the year and if you can't come till August, and the meet is in June, I'm sure me and the rest of the Londoners will be happy to arrange some sort of get together for you 🙂

Why not make it less formal, and every time an RHPer not normally in London comes here, they and all of the RHP London contingent go to Liam's 😛? I mean, I've been to Surbiton before, and everyone, except maybe Darv, would improve the place with their presence.

Deal, although I reserve the right to exact two provisios. First, no Shavixmir, I doubt wether the flimsy bounds of my abode could hold such an event. Secondly I reserve the right to kick you all out unceremoniously on your behinds when I grow weary of your presence.

Never mind then. I'd be too scared to go without a massive (I mean compared to me, Shav!), pugnacious Scotsman to hide behind.

Hmm I could also make it on around the 9th of June... but preferably on the friday, as I don't really want to put myself through drinking on saturday and flying on sunday again... 😕
I could come on the tuesday or more likely wednesday then 😀
That the time when you're there, darve?

I have to come down to London to see my DirtyLondonFriends at some point. Keep us updated, like.

I am a Londoner but unfortunately couldn't make the last one. I would certainly be interested in going to one this year though. 🙂

I'm not taking the trip alone so I can't really commit to anything. But I will keep it in mind.

Tip: if you're coming with the missus, DON'T tell her you are trying to fix the dates to tally with your geeky internet chess mates meeting in a grubby pub with their chess paraphenalia.
