[ANNOUNCE][F] Final Reminder: Cambridge Birthday / Finals meet on the 18th/19th
Peter Ellis
Friday 18th June:
7pm until whenever: Ancient Druids, Napier St. Probably curry
afterwards (there usually is (-: )
Saturday 19th June:
1pm: Meet in the marketplace and wander to the first pub of the day,
which will be the EAGLE, for a pub lunch.
2:30pm Meet up at SCUDAMORE'S PUNTS (By Queen's College, next to the
Mill pub). Hire punts, go downriver to the Backs and have fun.
Officially No Water Weapons (unless you *really* want to -- and make
sure the target doesn't mind)
Note: Emmanuel College has a deal with Scudamore's for cheap-rate
punts, so it'll be best if *I* hire them, and everyone gives my a couple
of quid to cover the cost -- we can sort that out there. But if
anyone's not there at 2:30, they'll have to hire their own, which will
be a higher deposit, and a higher hourly rate. It's still not
*expensive* by any stretch of the imagination, though.
But let's all stick together as a group, and assemble there at the given
time.
Evening-ish: Food of some sort, possibly in separate foraging-parties
8pm onwards: Back at the Ancient Druids until meltdown
There is an Official Ascii Mappe giving directions to the Ancient
Druids...

In case the above doesn't make sense to anyone, then the following Map
and Pub Guide may help...

The Druids is right next to the Grafton Centre, the market place is by
Market St, and the Eagle is near the market place.
As regards crash space -- there *is* room for everyone who's asked me so
far, as you know since I've been filling your email boxes with tons of
crud. Anyone else may well have to find their own... the following
document has details of *all* B&B places and hotels in Cambs and the
surrounding area.

It's shaping up to be a nice big meet *grin* -- any Southerners
desperate to meet the Northerners might do well to turn up... we're
expecting a Mad Dragon, a Supermouse *and* and an AFPGiant. And you've
even got the chance to meet that rarest of beasties, a Clueful Merkin...
Of course, since it's cookie's birthday-party, it is our bounden duty to
buy him drinks until he falls over. Think of it as a challenge *grin*
One last thing -- it is not *obligatory* to pinch the host. Only do so
if you *really* want to.
