Hello,

Seems like too long since we gathered at the Commercial Tavern. Who's up for another round of putting the pub back in pubsub?

How does Thursday 30th July sound? Venue to be decided, any ideas considered.

bloody good plan

30th/31st is also the guardian hackfest so perhaps we could all pub
over to King's X?

I am in. I'd like Alexis to explain to us all what he is doing with
Rabbit.

Ooh - mixing pubsub with grauniad hackfest. Interesting idea.

Apparently the Guardian folks will be in mid-hack on Thursday.

So -- how about Friday 31st? For an early start - 4:30pm? 5pm?

Can we please not do Friday. Weekend is for family. Unless we want to
start at 3, say, and make it a POETS day (piss off early tomorrow is
Saturday)

Not sure that's conclusive, are we doing Friday or Thursday?

I'm not sure. Both days are hard for the Grauniad peeps.

So what's the latest? My interpretation of the state of things:

- we meet on Friday from 3pm onward
- location undecided?

I've heard from some folk interested in coming down from Cambridge who
need to know for sure when we've set the date.

Ah, sorry -- I meant Friday 31st. Does that work for you Matt?

So to clarify:

- we meet on Friday, 31st July, from 3pm onward
- location still undecided

Works for me. How about The Water Poet:


I've made a booking in their (cavernous) beer garden from 3pm for 10 PubSubbers, should we decide to go for that one.

+1 water poet. The beer garden can get quite noisy, but assuming the
weather holds up it's a fantastic Friday afternoon locale.

Sounds perfect. The full summary then:

- we meet on Friday, 31st July, from 3pm onward
- at The Water Poet, http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1564.html

Hi all,

As the new kid on the block (not much of a kid anymore actually), I
was hoping to come down and say hi and let everyone know what we were
trying to do here in Cambridge. Unfortunately, I have caught some
dreded bug (NOT swine flu thankfully), but I can't make it this time.
I do hope, however, that this will be a fairly regular get-together.

All the best,

Robin

Not a bad idea. Start early etc. how does the 17th look for people?

We could of course make it a RedMonk HomeCamp CurrentCost PubSub party...

We're expecting some arduino powered christmas decoration craziness for
the homecamp party, so pub sub is quite appropriate... ;-)

17th is probably good for me, and it would be great to catch-up.

Great!

So, I have just spoken with James and we have a cunning Plan:

* kick off pubsub early, on the 17th. geek out first, starting nearer
4pm than 5pm. location tbd but to date we have stayed within half a
mile of the old street roundabout

* james is putting on a do later, which he will explain about here
