h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If I manage to get through to the oral part of my exams, that would take place in June.
But as I'm pretty confident I failed, I *should*, in theory, be ablr to attend.

I'd be up for one walk or the other.

Definitely interested, I loved Manchester during the last meet-up. Much more relaxed, especially when it ocmes to the drinking culture, than London. And I'll probably pay a visit to the Font to try out their Pink Panther again.

To be honest Pastey, you'd better have lined someone decent up. Otherwise you're just throwing them to the wolves.

*makes notes*

I have an exam in history of English speaking countries in June. I hope for the best timing.

I would like to attend as well

The photo workshop sounds good, and if there were a slow group for a guided walk, the Roman+ History one sounds good to me

603, I believe the person I asked, who did agree (he'd had a pint) is indeed an expert. I wouldn't have asked them if they weren't

re 24:

Hati, I know you'll pass with flying colours

And speaking of passing: There are quite a lot of flights from CPH to MAN so we may even meet with Milla here and fly together

Rail connections from Hollyhead to Manchester aren't bad either. And every single event mentioned (including the moor walk!) sounds excellent.

Looks like I'll be in Manchester twice next year, so (The Discworld Con is in August).

TRiG.

Hmmm.... I was planning a Scotland trip earlier this year that fell through/dissolved/shut down. So, a Manchester/Edinburgh trip may be just the thing.

I have every intention of participating.

The way we're looking at scheduling things is:

11:00 Pub Opens
11:30 Workshop A and Walk A (hidden gems) and Moor Walk
14:00 Workshop B and Walk B (historical/through the ages)
00:00 Pub Closes

Of course, this is all dependant on number of participants etc. The walks need to be in that order (due to the people who's arms I've 'twisted') but the workshops can be ordered to accommodate people's choices

11.00 pub opens

11.01How about workshop C and walk to the bar C

00.00 pub closes

My kind of workshop


Just a thought

Tempting, Jackruss

But the moor walk sounds tempting as well

and the hidden gems

and the historical walk

I need a few to think this through

The moor walk sounds interesting to me too... Been decades since I went over the moors, and we probably weren't tin that kinda area anyhow Of course.... Might be nice were there a hidden gem of a pub hiding in the middle of the moors (I don't think my current level of alcohol consumption would let me do the useual get to the pub when it opens, and leaves when it closes, kinda meet plan for a meet day...) Will there be badgers on the moors?

it all sounds very tempting but it is date dependent for me (as well as ) because I'm another one with exams in the first week of June.

yes I vaguely recall being told my exams are the first week too...

Don't worry! The date isn't fixed, already Witty and Frenchie spoke up in the original threads, so we started looking at dates to suit. If the second weekend in June is better for people, it can be moved

That time is always awkward for students. In my experience, some have already finished and gone home for the summer while others are still sitting exams: you just can't win. You just have to hope to catch as many as possible and accept that you can't satisfy everyone. Admittedly one good thing you are doing is to announce it early, so people can factor it into their summer plans.
Then, of course, there's the rest of us.

My exams are on June 13-15.

just off to practice............. workshop C
