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

The time has come to consider the best date options etc for a meet this year - before the diary becomes too cluttered with other h2g2 events!

Please post your suggestions in this forum.

Great idea

We will be sunbathing in La Palma from 11-10 to 25-10, so I suggest the weekend of either 27-9 or 4-10.

No-one else?

Apparently not as yet - I'll give it a bit of publicity!

To keep it all together, Terry Teadreg stated:

"A Dutch Researchers meeting in the Autumn would be nice, I would like to be there. As far as I can tell now, I will be in Rome from 1-4 October and away on a short Herfstvakantie, whenever that may be this season (12-19 October?)."

Hey, I'm up for it !!
TM and I may even get around to the omelet on the Afsluitdijk plan this time
The date doesn't matter much to me, I'm more or less free on alle the dates suggested so far

Yeah, Dutch people here! I am sorry to be stumbling in like this, but I just joined H2G2 and came across the Dutch page... thought I'd say hi and maybe come to the meeting too? I don't know how to become a member though, so if someone could please explain that to me?

Bye, Jacqueline

Hi there Angelasgf - or Jacqueline - which do you prefer?

I have just added you and Terry to the members list so you are both now officially members.

If you have time check a few links on the A614503 Dutch Researchers Home Page and you'll see that we are not overly verbal but certainly have a good time here!

At the moment the Meet is just in the planning stages, but I expect it will centre around Alphen again as quite a few of us actually live here plus we have ready access to Het Kasteel for entertainment and

If you need any help finding your way around h2g2 just yell - I see that you have StealthKam as your ACE, so he'll be only too happy to help you too.

Hi Shazz,

Thanks for the info and for adding me to the members list. I have never been made a member from something without actually doing anything.

I'll check the links on H2G2 but it will take me some time, because people on here are very talkative! I love it here already... hopefully going to make some friends here, maybe even some more Dutch Friends! Is there any place where I can talk to you about hobbies and stuff? Or can I just do that here? I am sorry, but I am a newbie, remember, so please be easy with me!

Bye, Jacqueline

PS: Doesn't matter which name you use...whatever you like. If you use my nickname though it should be Angelasgf (with the sgf at the end). Angela is my gf... so that's why: Angelas gf...
Jacqueline is my normal name, so use whichever you like!

Hey Shazz
How you be?
Its Nonametraveller here,back in the land of h2g2,and probably here for a while to come.
Can you ever forgive me for just disappearing...i kind of do that sometimes.In a nutshell i have been in the bush to a very large extent over the last 18 months or so,rarely in front of a computer,and even on the odd occasion when i was it was getting very painful trying to download the site.....seems to be a lot easier now...perhaps because i am in a differant place on a differant line.
Anyway,i do apologise for not letting you all know that i was not going to be around for a while...time just sort of went by...as it does.
I do hope i hear from you

Noname

Just gimme a date and I'll see what I can do.

Give me a month and I'll let you know what weekends I can do. I might even take a day off work to get over a bit earlier. If the vet doesn't steal too much of my money, and leaves a bit for me!

Hi Noname

I'll drop by your space asap.

Good luck with the vets then Mina - the Meet date can certainly wait for a month.

Tube!!!

Now - where's that Sir Bossel when we need him eh?

shazz

Yes please, I'd love to come up from Luxembourg!

It's my 42th birthday on 12th October, so that might be a cool date...I had originally proposed a Lux meet to celebrate, but I doubt if there'd be many takers, so how about a Benelux meet instead?

Other than that, Autumn weekends are looking empty at the mo

Just a thought...

A number of Dutch(-based) Researchers play an instrument. Wouldn't it be nice (to get on with me lady...sorry, got carried away)
Wouldn't it be nice to have people bring their instruments to the Dutch Meet (apart from the drummers, that is)?

Just a thought...

Terry

That sounds a great idea Terry - Don't forget to contact TowelMaster via the Het Kasteel website if you are interested in your band playing there btw.

I'm trying to make some sense of the dates and it looks as if, so far, most of October is out for various people - sorry Luckystar, we'll have to celebrate your 42nd early or late! - , which leaves us with the weekend of 27th September or wait and go for the 1st November - Hallowe'en and (English) bonfire night rolled into one!

So, end of September when the weather may still be kind or November when it could be cruel! Decisions, decisions...

shazz

Hi shazz,

The band is a bit under the weather at the moment. Our solo guitarist broke his leg a few weeks ago and the singer Vilna is extremely pregnant at the moment (and that won't go away until at least the end of September).
We plan to make a new demo CD sometime this Autumn, so I guess we'll have to wait for that. Unless the Kasteel wants to book a cover band in the blind...

Terry

Well, I am curious what the date is going to be. I don't have anything booked yet on those dates. Then again, I am not one of those people to have my agenda booked half a year in advance...

Hey, for all the Dutch people: My gf and I will be going to the movie: De Schippers van de Kameleon. Any of you going? We are 27 and 46, but we are just curious because all of us read the books...

Bye, Jacqueline

As part of the meets usually are held outdoors, with and on a terrace, I think we should go for a time where the chance to get good weather is the best. So rather september than november.

Let's go for the weekend of 27th September then - it looks as if everyone is available!
