NB - there is some crash space available still, due to generous offers
from new bugs and old for which many thanks! This article appeared on
afp a few days back.

Hogswatch approaches and this is a reminder that there will be a meet to
celebrate the season and the return of Arwen which is Not To Be
Missed...

I will be using the New UK Meets list for any last minute arrangements
or interim details but a final announcement will come here in the usual
way.

For details and how to subscribe see:

<http://library.lspace.org/mailman/listinfo/uk-meets>


Its also a request that if you know you are coming and haven't already
let me know could you please let me know? It doesn't tie you to anything
[this isn't a ticketed Hogswatch party so late decisions are possible]
but I'd like to give the landlady some numbers at the end of this week
so she can sort out staffing.

That request goes double if you can offer crash space or if you need it.
There is some crash space available, I'll be getting back to those of
you who have alraedy asked shortly but could anyone wanting to come, and
needing crash space please let me know asap?

If you would like to come but are rugrat constrained please also contact
me direct at the above address. Other queries to the same address.


HER MISSION:

To see as many afpers as possible, and anyway I can't imagine a Green
Man meet without Arwen. :}


WHEN:

Saturday December 15th 6:00pm onwards.


WHO:

Well Arwen obviously, various other furrin guests, and hopefully as many
as you as can possibly make it!


WHAT:

Should you bring? Chocolate, strange candy and fluffy toys, fluffy
people. But mostly yourselves...

And Hogswatch type stuff might be nice :}


HOW:

Please let me know if you're coming, so that I can tot up numbers, I'll
also try to co-ordinate crash space if required so please send
offers/requests to me as well. Especially offers.


WHERE:

The Venue is "The Green Man" pub, right opposite Great Portland St tube
station.

You really can't miss it and if you do you simply need to ask a member
of the station staff "Can you please tell me where I can find The Green
Man?". At this point they will look at you as if you are their senile
grandmother, turn their head 90 degrees leftward, and point it out to
you. Anyone asking me how I know this will receive a Hard Stare.

Gt Portland St tube is on the Circle/Met/Hammersmith lines, short
distance by road or tube from Euston, Kings Cross, and Paddington and
Liverpool St are only a little further on. The only mainline which is
further is Waterloo.
Unfortunately moving mainline stations to more convenient locations in
London is beyond even my powers of persuasion :]


Its also a short walk from Baker St to Great Portland St - I've done
this a few times and it is a straight line, but Regents Park or Warren
St are even easier there is a map even:

<http://www.streetmap.co.uk/>

Search on 'Great Portland St' and you will get the best segment.


The usual 'Green Man basement ' wasn't available this time but we have
the large central 'raised' areas, slightly fenced around with tables
and chairs. And since its Saturday which isn't usually a busy night there,
we should be able to hog the surrounding bits as well if we burst the
banks...

Although we are upstairs same deal applies to rugrats.


ttfn,
