As poor old Lonewolf doesn't seem to have had much response
for his B'day meet :( I have aggreed to arrange a "proper"
one. (The whole thing kinda appeared out of an ICQ chat
where MEG wanted to talk to people without any delay :) )

Anyway - I am currently suggesting either the w/end of the
22rd/23th/24th Jan or the 5th/6th/7th Feb. (The SO is
probably moving away the last w/end in Jan :( ). I would
think that the Saturday would be best and I will probably
follow the general format of the last Oxford meet (2pm
lunchy type thing followed by a 7pm evening type thingy).

Comments, suggestions etc etc etc.

Ok, if you want them.

A 2pm meet is a bit early for most people. Perhapse just the 7pm
evening type thingy ?

I probably won't be able to make the January one (I'm in Miami/Cayman
Islands - anyone up for a meet?<g>) but the February is fine for me.

And I like the sound of the lunchy one beforehand. It was very good fun
last time.

24th is my birthday, so hopefully I'll be enjoying it somewhere. The
weekend after sounds great.

Any crash-space going?

Regards,

Glenn.

We *really* wanted to know that you are going to be spending the
coldest month of the year on an exotic island - Cheers Ańejo!!

I means that people who can't make it to the evening can come. I
thought it worked quite well last time.

OK it looks like the w/end of the 6th Feb is favourite.

>Any crash-space going?


I have room for 2 - 4 people depending on how friendly they are.
There is possibly room for more depending on what the SO is
doing.......

Like me :)

Someone explain why I'm gonna go to the Oxford meet when I live in
Essex? And "your stupid/daft,etc" is not a good enough answer - I've
already come to that conclusion myself.

Only because you were late and I have no idea of my way around
Oxford![1] :p

Oh goode, glad we got that cleared up...not that I'd of needed a map

known where you were going.

me dumbo? system call me whatever you want just don't call me
