I vividly remember not being there... and it being pretty quiet on h2g2...

You may not have been there, but we did come and visit h2g2 from the BBC experience!
Couldn't post anything from there though.
Another time...?!

Yeah, they didn't have any keyboards!
Dragonfly, there'll always be a place for you at h2g2 meets, you just need to come and fill it! I hope to see you there very soon!

However... I think you should be warned that it is extremely likely that the meets are just as addictive as h2g2!

I couldn't agree more, roll on the Spring Onion in August.
Can anyone tell me how I managed to get back to my hotel in Euston from the Ship & Shovell? I think I'm in need of some post-meetup memories.

I am sorry I can't help you scout. I wonder how I made it to our hotel in Tuffnel Park.
It was a good meet wasn't it??

My memory was gradually jogged on Sunday... but there's still a flight of stairs I have no recollection of whatsoever!
It's a shame that the pub was sort of divided seating-wise, as there's lots of researchers I never got around to meeting.
Yet...

I have to vouch for the addictivity of the h2g2 meets... I can't afford a trip up to the north for the Spring Onion, so I'm quietly waiting for a meet in sudden September

There might be a meet in september or oktober in Holland again. Could you make that?? 
I haven't got the money nor the time (=days free of work) to make it to the Manchester meet.
And yes I agree that I haven't spoken everybody on the meet. Or you had to do it like A Girl Called Frank, who went from table to table and introduced herself. But that is not really my style.

I can definitely try and make a September dutch meet
October I should be starting at uni, which makes that tough but I'll clear time for a December or November christmas meet

I didn't meet Frank either.
I'd love to go to the Dutch meet... we'll have to see about that one. Although I want to go to Southampton for the start of the Round the World yacht race, which is September/October time too I believe.
Maybe time for another mini meet down south?!

I'm thinking about organising a minimeet for the Thames Valley area (London, Surrey, Bucks, Berks and Oxon) although I'm not sure how feasible that would be.

Having been there for all of an hour I suspect the best memory will be of confusing the few people I spoke to and then leaving
But, I thought I'd appear and promote the Northern meet-up aka the Spring Onion on August the 4th at the Trafford Centre, details can be found at A535907!
