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

Right then... this summer, me and t'wife are heading Scotlandwards for a wee holiday and during this time we'd like to have a bit of a mini-meet.

I know it's early, but this way I can ensure that people won't already have something happening on the day. At the moment the date for the meet is Friday July 6th, though this is subject to change. Who's up for it?

Looks into diary. Providing I'm not involved in a civil war defending the Union on that date I'll be fine.

Should be good for us, seeing as we won't be booking any holidays this year

Just to let everyone know the Dreadful Invasion of Scotland is still on... whether there's an acutal Meet depends on a combination of schedule, money and tiredness (as July 6th is the last Friday of our hols) but we have promised ourselves that, assuming it's okay, we will pop along to Chez Vibenstein to meet wee Jen.

Of course you can! I'll state on her behalf now that she's really looking forward to it

Okay. More update... we are definitely in Edinburgh on the date specified, though the meet may well end up being on Saturday depending on what we end up doing.

Final arrangements are still to be made, and so we will be maintaining mobile telephonic contact with Fords and EV until we have finally come up with a final plan. Finally.

And while it may go against the traditions of h2g2 Meets, drinking and debauchery will be taking second fiddle to meeting Ickle Jen.

"drinking and debauchery will be taking second fiddle to meeting Ickle Jen."

Speak for yourself, mate!

I'll most likely not be able to make the mini-meet on either the 6th or the 7th.
I'm heading back on a short vacation trip to Sweden on the 7th, and my flight leaves from Prestwick at 6:30am (ugh) so going to Edinburgh on the night before is not a good idea.

Sorry, D.

I'll do my best but at present it will depend on how I'm actually feeling on the day.

Is this still going ahead, then?

Well, if it is still going ahead then times/dates would be nice. Not everyone here is in contact beyond this site so we're reliant on being told here. Cheers.

Mr & Mrs Dreadful will be in the Standing Order from 12 noon tomorrow. Anyone who wants to buy them a drink is very welcome to do so.

Excellent. I'll try and get myself to Edinburgh 'twix noon and 1pm.
