[F] Future Reading meet - Oct 4th?
Darrell Ottery
Hah! Thought you'd got rid of me, eh? Not so fast! OK, so I'm
predominantly just skimming afp for the time being, but I'm still here
in body, if not mind.
Yeah, it's that time again. Now I've moved, settled somewhat, and have a
bit better idea of how my free time pans out I'm going to suggest
another Reading meet. I think it's up to 4 by now.
Given my having to work (or possibly having to do so) over the next few
weekends, and to allow for some advance notice, I hereby suggest
Saturday 4th October at a venue to be decided (I'm now over the other
side of town so I'm pondering one of the more local pubs instead of the
Monk's Retreat). In the interests of all concerned I've decided that I
shall selflessly investigate a few likely candidates, but if nothing
useful turns up then I guess it'll be the Monk's once more, since it
suffices as a meet pub for convenient proximities to stations, car
parks, and such like. And the beer's not too bad and the food is pretty
reasonable. Hmm, maybe I *will* pick the Monk's again...
Unless I hear any significant objections to the contrary then I'll go
with the 4th as a date, and post a location later once I've decided on
one. The other alternative is the 21st of this month, but I'm not
*entirely* sure I'm free that weekend yet. All the rest of September as
far as I'm concerned is out, and if it's left any later we're running
dangerously into the pubs being filled with 'orrible students. I suspect
there may still be a few lurking around at the beginning of October, but
the majority of newcomers will most likely still be deciding that hall
bars are groovy places, deluded fools that they are...
So, any takers? Just so I've an idea of numbers - typically Reading
tends to pull 2 to 3 dozen afpers and associated cronies.
And for future reference I'd expect there to be something happening
again nearer Xmas - either the 7th or 13th December at a rough guess.
.announces will go out soonish, courtesy of the ever-lovely Mike. And
I'm *probably* able to provide *some* crash space, but more details on
this later.
