Upcoming and Proposed Meets
The London Summer Meet!!!
Yes, it's that time of year again (or at least it will be) - it's The Great, Marvelous, exotically spiffing, H2G2 London Summer Meet 20041! The date is now confirmed as
10th July. It looks as if the afternoon (from around 1pm) will, once more, be spent in Hyde Park for picnicking and games or at a local watering hole for the diehard drinkers. Anyone wishing to contribute items for the picnic should head over to the List of items for the Picnic in Hyde park afternoon of 10 July (part of London summer meet!) page. The evening venue has been confirmed as The Penderel's Oak which is located at 283-288, High Holborn London. This pub has featured in several Meets before and
boasts the grumpiest bar staff in London! More details can be found here or just
sign-up and join the other 59 (or so) would-be attendants.
