When?
When is good for you people? I'm thinking the easter holidays to allow for good attendance. I'm free until 10 April; suggestions? Ironholds (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine for me, but dates/place etc need sorting ASAP as it's fairly close.  Majorly  talk  23:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. My proposed date, then: Wednesday 8 April. Advantages: Easter Holiday for those of us who are students, and student loans get paid on the 7th, which should help with paying for travel and whatnot. Disadvantage: as a weekday those people who have real jobs may not be able to attend. Ironholds (talk) 23:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A Wednesday would be out of the question for most people...  Majorly  talk  23:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weekend before then? Saturday 4 April. Advantages: most people can make weekends. Disadvantages: trains will be more expensive. Ironholds (talk) 23:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Aren't saver (or off-peak or whatever they call them now) fares available all day on Saturdays as against after 10am on weekdays? Stifle (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Any date between March 29 and April 11 is fine by me91.84.193.193 (talk) 00:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Works fine for me too --Childoftv (talk) 00:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Alrighty then. Saturday 4 April as a confirmed date? Ironholds (talk) 01:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That sounds fine to me as well - He mutters hopefully Skinny87 (talk) 09:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent. And a place; Majorly, you mentioned the pub was extremely loud. Any better pubs you know of? Ironholds (talk) 10:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Apologies

 * Ironholds, thanks for your note on my talk page. Unfortunately, I'm busy the first half of April and thus unable to make it. Have fun! -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I was going to say I'd come (cheap flights are great), but I happen to be in New York on that date. Stifle (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I'll be at the chapter meeting in Berlin, so I can't come - sorry! --Tango (talk) 23:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ditto Tango. Hope to see you all at the AGM instead. Mike Peel (talk) 10:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
