[ANNOUNCE] [F] Cambridge 18-19 June: Finalsmoot 1.0 / Birthdaymeet 21.5
Peter Ellis
Dear All and especially Sundry,
It's my third year at this wondrous seat of drunkenness^Wlearning, and
as a consequence I have a couple of little test papers to sit on or
around the end of May / beginning of June.
In order to celebrate / commiserate the results, there will be A Meet
across the days of the 18th to 19th of June. Also, our very own
AFPGiant, Charles Cooke, is celebrating his 21.5th birthday on the 21st
of June! Toasts will be drunk, and if we can find 55 people and a
forklift, we'll give him the bumps too...
We will meet in the Ancient Druids pub, Napier St. on the evening of the
18th from 7pm, and Make Merry until whenever.
The next day, we shall assemble in the Marketplace at 1pm before
meandering off for a pub lunch at the Anchor and (if the weather is
fine) punting down river around the Backs and making fools of
ourselves, lying around in the sun and generally scaring people by being
afpish. People may accidentally get wet. I shall specifically *not*
encourage the bringing of water weapons and the use of same, all right?
Then, we shall wander around various pub-type places, and food will no
doubt be had at some stage (depending on the size of the group present,
we may have to split up in search of sustenance). Back to the Ancient
Druids for 8pm or so, until closedown / fadeout / pass out.
See you all there -- I'm afraid I'm up to here <points> in revision, so
I won't be able to organise crashspace -- so far Ben Hutchings
<wom...@zzumbouk.demon.co.uk> has tentatively offered up to three
places and Ben Argyle <B...@lspace.org> likewise. Any more
Cantabridgians willing and able to help, I'd be very thankful if you
could post to the group and sort something, perhaps?
If crashspace isn't available, details for accommodation are at
http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/leisure/accoin.htm -- but I hope it's not
necessary to resort to this.
More Announcements will appear in due time -- hope as many as possible
can help celebrate the brief life and death of my BA degree... :-)
In summary:
18th June:
7pm until whenever: Ancient Druids, Napier St. Probably curry
afterwards (there usually is :-)
19th June:
1pm: Meet in the marketplace
1:01pm: Wander to the first pub of the day, lunch at some point
Early afternoon-ish: Finish lunch, head to punts, head downriver and
have fun
Evening-ish: Food of some sort, possibly in separate foraging-parties
8pm onwards: Back at the Ancient Druids until meltdown
Crashspace: Email either of the Bens, and also let's hope some more
Cambridge / local types can help. I have a *little* space on my floor,
but since I'm technically liable to be fined if found out, I'd rather
not have to use it.
