The proposed agenda is as follows: Meet in the fair city of
Bradford on Saturday, October 4, 2003. Go to the
National Museum of Photography, Film and Television and later
attend its TV Heaven section
for a private screening of episodes of The Hitchhiker's
Guide To The Galaxy and Blake's 7. Then sample
some of Bradford's justly famous curry and conclude the meet
in the time-honoured fashion, with a pub quiz and plenty of
ale.
Interested parties should send their ferrets over to The Bradford Broccoli homepage.

strange combination in this conversation. Any takers or ideas
welcome.
Micro-Meets
The purpose of this Entry is to
provide a Zone for Researchers to inform each other of their
free time and movements so that they can hopefully find out
when and where all or some of them can meet up in the future
with the minimum of inconvenience to enjoy each other's
company out there in the real world.

An important event on the calendar! The Village de la Vavoom's Second Annual
Harvest Festival 2003 is now in full swing. Some
stalls still need hosts and some are already up and running.
Enter competitions, visit the circus, eat ice cream or
popcorn or just call in for a convivial time and a few
drinks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You enter a dark cave and see many tall
beings, all of whom look very threatening. The one that is
clearly the leader comes up to you and says 'You have a
simple choice human - die now on the blades on my Incubi
Cadre or be carried into the night where you will die a
thousand deaths at the hands of my Haemonculi. There is still
one more choice. You may join us'
This game is based around the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop
Miniature game, but anyone interested in hacking up everyone
up should join The Dark Eldar
now! Plenty of openings still available!

'The Dungeon Master's laughter echoes eerily
through the void. Suddenly there is a great flash of light,
and he is standing tall before you!...
The thing he was carrying under his arm turns out to be an
ancient book of lore which he opens and shows you a page
called...
"CHARACTER CREATION"'
If you enjoy RPG adventures then H2G2
RPG is the place to go! The first game is to be found

Clubs
Moon Moaners
This is a society for those who wish to complain that Jupiter
has more moons than we have which has recently been formed by
Toy Box
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Language Thing
We are here for people who speak in one language (or more)
to, if they wish, talk to those who don't but aim to. Or do,
but need practice. All languages are welcome. Hopefully
you'll work a sort of swapping 'Looking for mate to jabber
High German to whilst they practice Latin on me'. Subscribe
and tell all what you either have or want; currently a sort
of email based thing, please discuss if you have a better
idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAVE
Since the dawn of H2G2 (and probably the net, too), Smileys
have been accepted as accurate forms of communication of
feelings and/or ideas. We would like to expand on the idea of
the smiley, just a little. We call ourselves CAVE [The
Campaign to Allow Violent Emoticons]. Our mission is to make
violent, explosive, destructive, or otherwise cruel and
unusual smiley images a part of H2G2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cello Club
A club for everyone who plays cello, wants to play cello,
pretends to play cello, or thinks that celli look good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
United Bedroom
Confederacy
Declare your bedroom a Republic and join the fight against
Sockism. Not to be taken seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The h2g2 Circus
Come one, come all, to h2g2's very own Circus! See the many
circus attractions, such as the Renowned Flying Jodeus
Brothers, or snack at Greebo's Doughnut Stall!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Associative Arms Pub
Come and associate in an associative pub, where each table is
located in a different time-space location, and crossing the
bar is a miracle of willpower over physics even when you are
sober.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Links
The Post Links Page points you
towards the best of h2g2. Everything from information and
campaigns to eating and drinking venues, virtual lands or
clubs.
The Post Archives are a
repository for all things Post related. Divided into
easy-to-use categories, they get bigger at a frightening
pace. Well worth a visit, whether to re-read a favourite
article or catch up on something you missed.
