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.

Abi is up to something!
The secret was out over at Abi's Community Activities page this week when the The E o E B & C Pages was revealed to be an 'End of Exams' party. Much drinking and frivolity continue!
Hot on the heels of this excitement was the emergence of the Virtual Wimbledon pages. Not only were new 'smileys' introduced to the delight of all, but also a Frilly Knicker Shop seems to have attracted a lot of interest.
Other pages picked out for a mention by Abi this week include Write about Wimbledon!Footy Quiz and Trivia Zone and on the same theme The Virtual Supporters' Club. Also worth a look is the National Vegetarian Week Party.
