OK, time for a "1-month-warning"...
There is going to be a meet happening in about a month's time,
ie. on the weekend encompassing the 16th, 17th and 18th of
November. This is happening for a number of reasons, and the
list of reasons keeps growing...

1. It's Children in Need weekend
2. It's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" film
release weekend
3. It's my birthday on the 17th
4. It's Andrew Gray's birthday on the 17th too
5. It's the 3000th of September on the 17th too
6. I wanted a Yorkmeet in the near future because I missed
the last one
7. Because I said "let there be a meet" and others said "OK,
put me down for being there..."

The basic plan is:
Friday evening: Watch CiN and do related things
Saturday morning: Go into York and pick up people, whilst
doing touristy things, possibly railway museum? Jorvik?
Depends what people have done/want to do.
Saturday lunch: Get food (possibly Lendal Fish Restaurant,
since I like it...)
Sat Afternoon: Film
Sat evening: Head towards home and chat, stopping at pubs
(inc. Victoria)
Sat night: Watch TV, play playstation, play pc, sleep
Sun morning: Wake up, wait for people to drift out after
breakfast...


So, if you'd like to join the swelling ranks of afpers
who'll be in York that weekend (or, I suppose, if you
particularly want to move to York and join the rather large
group of us who are always here), let me know, and I'll add
your name, rank and number to my list of attendees.
You'll also need to let me know when you plan to arrive, and
I'm afraid all crashspace is now booked (if you've already
expressed interest in having some, you've got it,
basically...[1]).
More details will go out very soon, and you should have
heard something if you have already emailed me - if not,
please resend. My address is m...@bleurgh.net.

Hope to see even more people there,

MP

[1] I can go round to local[2] B&B's if people are really
desperate, or give you numbers for them. Let me know if you'd
like me to do this...
[2] Within about 5 minutes walk, in other words...
