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

It seems to me like 2legs, Mazin' and the other regulars are doing a good job organizing the meets. I might be wrong, but I suspect that the community has more input that they would if it was organized by the BBC. But souvenirs and prizes purchased by them would be nice, as would someone from the staff to greet newcomers.

It was very unusual this time round that we didn't have the Italic presence throughout the meet; Jimster Explained that it was all down to a mess up regarding the dates and he was thinking he could attend but for a previously arranged engagement he couldn't get out of Hopefully next meet will be a better date for the Italics to be able to attend,

re: 95.

>>Erm...a small point-ette, but if we're going to have an experimental October meet, around about now is when we need to decide on a date so people can book flights, travel, holiday etc.<<

I am happy to do that if required, and can a number of dates for voting.

Say, the last two weeks of September and all of October. However I know that 2Legs normally does this but will be happy to help out...

Over to you!

perhaps just october would be better?

I'm easy. Just want to assist as many in

a) Voting.
b) Attending
c) Not feeling included re: dates

BTW do I need to consider excluding/including dates re: School Holidays? Not having Rugrats myself, I don't know when holidays fall...

prolly best to avoid the half term holidays as everything is busier and more expensive, they fall differently across the uk let alne across the globe

im my part of the uk (croydon) it usually falls the week including halloween. not sure if thats any help.

So do we want to go for an October date?; I'm a tadge concerned it might be considered by a few to be a little close the meet just gone, I mean... like that doens't bother me... any excuess to meet up with a load of internet weirdos in central nodnol You want me to put the useual type page together from the Londonmeet account? I'm happy to do it as per useual if everyones cuel with that?

go for it

Right will do I'll have to leave it to someone else to actually do teh counting of votes and such like as I cna't count above five

Saves me getting off my **** and doing it.

Anyway, I'll start searching out ideas for the afternoon activities with a few that are Rugrat friendly, and some that are more adult orientated. For those that prefer a more liquid afternoon event I'll leave that in the capable hands of our resident experts 2Legs, Roymodo, Serephina and possibly RF!

That should cover all eventualities then!

Unless I've forgotten anything...

Like and for the children.

Maybe consider inexpensive eateries?

I am thinking that oct may be a bit close, but mainly its for personal reasons, I'm having to start a teacher training course and know that I have to be down again in nov for a stone-setting and nobody has yet explained to me all the finaces for my course

I've even put a conversation on the page linked to from the page for discussing afternoon activitys Just need to figure out the date sof the weekend sin October and put up the voting threads and decide on a close off point to count up the votes feel free to advertise the page about

The Saturdays are as follows:

07/10/06
14/10/06
21/10/06/
28/10/06

Hope that helps.

I've started some voting threads on the meet page.

RF

Excellent.... But... RF ; can you count?

Good point. However; like any good election, the vote is rigged. The winner will be in November

I hope so, or RF is in the wrong job

Let the voting commence!!!

I can't count...but I shall employ a totally impartial pet hamster to ensure that the voting is fair.

I may also involve the Electoral Reform Society.
