Gnomon - time to move on

There's a Dublin Meet on 16 September, so let's not have it too close to then!

I'm a definite potential - how's that for hedging the bets?

Not sure of any suggestions I have just yet.

I would love to get up to Belfast again for a weekend - but it's unlikely I'm afraid. My family is very young (4 kids under the age of 6) and there is always a ton of things to do during the weekend.

Well Belfast sounds good anyway. Somewhere close to Central is a good idea too. Though when and what to do is the big question.

I'd suggest a trip to W5 except that I was there a few weeks ago.

There's always W5, the science museum. It's pretty central, in a mall with a few eating and drinking places. But also easy to get to the centre from there.

Or http://www.openhousefestival.com weekend of 8-9 October. Live music, poetry readings etc in the Cathedral quarter.

Or the festival starts on 21 October http://www.belfastfestival.com

I'll go along with everyone else. If people want to go to W5, I'll go along to, but you'll probably have to stop me explaining everything.smiley - biggrin

Explaining is good. Celebrate your intelligence, so long as you're not arrogant about it.

Don't worry, you didn't. Sorry if I implied you were. I just know some people who are fantastic at telling you something as if they're the only ones who know it and you're thick.
