The problems at lspace seem to have expanded to announce posts, so
here it is:

This Saturday (24th November) PTerry will be signing books at the
large, gorgeous, well stocked and cafe-imbued Borders in Oxford.

The signing starts at 3pm, and we will be gathering outside, or
possibly somewhere else around 1-2pm. email me at
corinne....@worc.ox.ac.uk for my phone number in case you get
lost. I can also receive emails through the wonder of WAP (though at
great expense) at expect...@orange.net, in case you get lost on the
day and are a little shy of phoning people.

Afterwards we will no doubt wander around shops (if they are still
open) and inhabit pubs to the great hilarity of all concerned. Later
in the evening, everyone is invited back to my house to watch the 100
Greatest Films courtesy of Channel 4, and eat pizza and takeout at
their own expense.

There isn't any crashspace, unfortunately, but the house is right next
to the Youth Hostel and the Backpackers hotel, so if you really want
to stay overnight then you can at a very reasonable price (£12+).

Sunday will probably be a general get-together to wibble and geek to
our hearts content some more.

Part 2 (Sun Nov 25 21:00 - 00:10)

Given the previous 'viewing in virtual company via irc' and
subsequent ng discussion of the top Childrens programmes
earlier in the year : I look forward to joining folks on line
for the 'running commentaries' tomorrow night (#films anyone ?) :)
following the Oxford and Sheffield meets

There are two other newsgroups meeting in the Turf on Saturday, and a
number of those attending have an association with AFP too. Anyone
wandering Oxford between 11 and 1-2 and at a loss is very welcome in
there if they are recognisably AFPers (since I don't wave across pubs at
people unless they are evidently of one ng tribe or another, or known to
me in some way or other...) I, on the other hand, can probably be
located by sheepspotting...
