Any one in the UK want to plan a meet?

I would be prepared to travel from my hole in East Anglia.

When and where suggestions?

As long as there's a beer garden and a man selling sausages nearby, right?

Sausages?! Love 'em! Beer Garden is an essential!

I'm about twenty miles south of Norwich - and have a car and am prepared to travel! Tors I know P'borough - and can get there - but ... if we have a UK meet and those from t'other end of the UK - S'Peaches - want to come then maybe we should think of the midlands (Grantham is nice!) (please, not Birmingham) or Lancashire/Yorkshire.

Do we want a day meet? A weekend? And what time of year? Not now, please not now in the snow with the ice and the cold...

IRU which part of Sussex?

North Sussex here. It would be awesome to meet you all, it would. Idiot has already promised to get me drunk, and when I've been a responsible and adulty kind of guy for a bit here, I'm sure Idiot could extend the getting-drunk-promise to all and sundry. :)

North-East Hampshire, just over the border from Surrey. Probably a day would be best for me, and somewhere I can take a train to.

I'd come if I can get there and back in a day by train, though it sounds like you're aiming too far North for that.

How about that London? Somewhere on Charing Cross Road, maybe.

I'm not averse to the Midlands if it's easier for them what are further north.

But if you're thinking London I know a great little place just off Oxford Circus ( nice and easy to get to, the tube exit comes out opposite, great for us'n who get lost in cities) that does wicked hot salt beef sarnies and a decent ale.

Maybe we should start a list? I like lists... it's what happens when you've had too much to drink ... seriously - though ;;;

If you want a day out then it has to be reachable from where we all are - doesn't it? If it is London then we would need a place to meet, greet, eat and talk ... the Royal Festival Hall, Royal National Theatre and the Tate Modern all have lots of meeting places and there are some really good pubs along the South Bank. If further north - so that those who are further north can get to the meeting - then I don't know!

I am happy for a weekend away or a day. And I am happy to travel...

The list:
Tors
S'Peaches
IRus
JVC
Maxinquaye
eyeblink
Polenth
Priene
S'bear

Hope I've got everyone! Can you say - next to your name on the list, if you want to travel and how long (day, weekend) you will want the meet to last. Cut and paste the list... hopefully this will help us to organize ourselves...

If you've just found this just add yourself to the list ...

I would need to invite myself to stay with someone if I travelled all that distance. :D
