when is the london summer meet?

There have been no proposals yet, as far as I know. In previous years, the Italics used to organise official meets, but with the massive reduction in staff, they can no longer do this, so the Winter meet was organised by a volunteer (2Legs). I don't think anyone has yet volunteered to organise a summer meet.

Well, first someone needs to check if there are any cheesy 80's rock groups playing Hyde Park this summer

I'll do it, just so long as it does not clash with the 'Disco Inferno burn the house down meggalythic bonkers crazy deviant Bognor Regis great Butlins drunken diva weekend meet' how abouts june this year?

We're going to Butlins in may 2legs , so June (isn't it normally July?) would be fine.

We're going to butlings!? How cool, when did that happen?

The Summer Meet was on 28 June in 2003. I think it was in July in 2002.

That'll be me being senile then. I went last year n couldv'e sworn it was July!


I hope it's not so hot this year

We'l need to find out when there is a rotten rock group playing in London, and do it on that date EV had so much fun last time on teh 'tour bus'

As time is cracking on, I'm going to be daring and suggest a date. July 10th. I picked this one because it's the only date in July that I can make.

Any other offers?

As long as it's a saturday anytimes fine ..

ooh, as long as my graduation isn't on that day - it's somewhere that weekend, allegedly, and it would be a shame to have to choose...

[Have they really downsized you all beyond the ability to organise a meet? Tsk, tsk ]

I can put together a page and stuff Monday, if people are crazy enough to allow me to be organising it again I of course use the word 'organise' in one of its definitions not found in any* dictonary Start off this time midday in Princess Louise this time I recon, rather than Shakespears head or is that the other way round Pendrillis oak alright for evening again?

I think the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are playing a gig in Hyde park in July...(checks)...gigs on Saturday 19th, Sunday 20th, and Friday 25th July. I guess the Saturday one would be most appropriate?

think someone already said 10 July as was only day in July cld make it being ravished by a rampaging hord of Chilli peppers fans could be interesting? though

Now I'm going to 'fess up and realise that 06 in a date means June, not July!

Last 3 weeks in July are no good for me, unfortunately, as I'm off to Oz on the 8th


2legs you did a terrific job last time

"Someone" suggested that we should get the men off of the Nude Calendar to perform some Karaoke tunes for us.

That "someone" must be a very sick indeed to suggest such a thing!

Of course, you don't have to pick a date that I can make. But there are ways I could make you regret it if you don't. I might be able to get a babysitter for one of the other dates, but then I won't be able to put people up at my house, or get drunk, or turn up much before 9. Which makes it a bit pointless.

The 10th sounds fine to me
