Meets
The date of the h2g2 Real-time Summer Party has been set and it will be held on Saturday July 7. The afternoon will be spent at the BBC Experience. The BBC have kindly provided a number of free tickets for you lucky punters. Places are limited and available on a 'first come, first served' basis so if you are interested in joining us please sign up here. From early evening onwards, there will be roistering at the Ship & Shovell, 1 - 3 Craven Passage, WC2. This delightful little pub can be found under Charing Cross station and is one of London's best kept secrets. If you are curious about who will be in attendance, around 67 so far and growing, then the Next Community Meet Up page is a must!
Some plotting is also afoot! Want to join in the fun and games? Plotting and Scheming is the place for you!Meet in Scotland.
July 21st appears to be the date settled upon and debate is still ongoing as to the venue, although The Glasgow Science Centre seems the popular vote at the moment.

Look... maybe the Towers might even be there!If 'The Smoke' is not exactly the easiest place in the world for you to get to, why not consider the Flat Cap and Muffler Club Spring Outing... otherwise known as the Great Northern Meet. It is for anyone interested in beer or coffee and a few laughs... whippets and black puddings optional! The Meet will be held on the 4th August at the Trafford Centre, Manchester; there's bowling, drinking and all sorts of food available.
Times, directions and place to be announced later.
So far 23 h2g2ers have signed up for this meet including three itallics and are busy brushing up their thee's and tha's for the occasion.
