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

again for cross-posting this.
Last year was an Autumn meet I believe, do we want Autumn again? Or a Christmas one (January)?
Of course, there ain't anything to stop there being an Autumn meet and a Christmas/January meet, though generally one only of the two would be the 'main' meet, as otherwise we might split em up too much and further reduce total numbers at each.

Thus far:
2 votes for October/Autumn meet.

I have some questions:

Can anyone join the meetings? (If so, I start saving my money and let my childrend starve *no not really, but I will have to save money anyway*)

Is there any cheap accomodation available (sleeping under bridges in autumn or winter doesn't seem a fun idea to me)?

Everybody is welcome to the meets.
There's a good youth hostel quite central.

Everyone (and anyone) is welcome Despite common-sense always niggling that it must be expensive to stay in London, I've had some pretty chepo hotels/bording houses/B&B's in London, (well cheap in comparason to other parts of the country). They might not be five stars, but were always clean and comfetable

Has my October half term vote been counted? If not, I vote for October.

Yep. Thats three votes currently all for October/autumn

As much as I would love to visit London again this year, I fear it is out of the question. I've had way too many calls on my purse the past few months.

Whenever you meet, autumn or winter, I will be with you in spirit. And I'll try to make it next spring/summer.

I vote for September 22. As I hope to be out of the country for at least part of October.

Oh and use a search engine with the query "St Christopher's Hostels" that should help with finding a bunk for the night...

I'm voting octoberish, I think

Octoberish sounds good for me, too. Preferably after the 15th, as I have to save for Son no 2's birthday.

Early November is OK, too.

thanks for the hints for accomodation

perhaps I can make it to the meet - for me it is not important if it is autumn or winter (though winter would give me more time concerning finances)

thus far:
Votes for Autumn (October/November).

So Autumn/October winning out at the moment

I'm not fussed which date

I could probably do either, but the Autumn (perhaps that'll be the b***dy summer) might be better.

I'm sort of new, not been before, but would like to meet up autumn Oct/Nov.

Mid to end of October sounds good to me.

I'm gonna get to the lovely B'Elana again!

I really want to come to the next meet and & all my friends again.

I'll have to follow my own advice, though, and start saving money now - if only I knew what to save it from.
