• The Late Summer Radish
  
  The Leeds Radish is a meet up of h2g2 researchers to be held on 25 August 2001 in Roundhay Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. The idea is to meet in the Wetherspoon's pub at Leeds City station between 1 and 2 (note: before 1 is allowed, after 2 isn't if you want to get the minibus.) After a gander at 'Tropical World' the group will repair to a local hostelry for drinks and a quiz.
  
  This meet is notable for the fact that it will be two weeks before the researcher known as Bagpuss departs this sceptred isle for the New World; an important event, I'm sure you'll agree.
  
  Please drop by the The Late Summer Radish page to find out more details.
