Would it help if we chose Birmingham?

Hmm..... not sure.... maybe less easy/cheap for anyone flying in? (dunno how big an airport it has?)

Manchester might be cool again..... especially if I can get to use the same hotel err.... I assume it comes with teh other room occupant as standard

I was very fond of Manchester too. Easy to get to for me. In particular now that I know where to find it

Yes, I quite liked it as well.

Well, there's got to be a meet mid-to-late Summer 2017--July 12, 2017 is Tom and my 20th anniversary, and we'll be heading UK-wards...

I don't think they've moved it, since we were last there

I'm happy to organise another Manchester meet It'll need to be a different bar though, as Kro has closed down.

2017 seems a long wait. Surely even a late Summer 2015 London one would work for the UK crew, or a 2015 Winter one, in the same location.

We should have one of these maps where people can tag their closest city, which would allow good geographical sorting without making it to easy for the anti-Nighthoovians to hunt us all

Did a bit of that offline for the Manchester meet, turned out Manchester was the easiest destination for most people

I can't make it out of Manchester this year, still setting up the brewery and spending pretty much all my time/money on that. Next year I might be able to.

Oh, you can have all the meets you want in between--I'm just saying that at least one meet on 2017 has to be while I'm over there

Amy, seeing as you're over here we'll have to make sure that there is a meet!

"I can't make it out of Manchester this year"

Ah, so the blockade is still working then?

Yup, 'fraid so.

Except for the pre-arranged occasions

There was a convo... on ask I think, to try plan one, for late this year, in London.... - MMF started a thread I seem to recall... OO..... depending when it is, I might even still be radioactive

The Kro bar was nice, but I liked the other bars we hit better. Kro was too... shiny.

< F19585?thread=8312982 >

yeh... guess that must have been the one.... didn't exactly get.... flooded with people saying yes...

Well Kro's now an Italian restaurant, so no worries there. It really depends on the numbers as to where we could get. I like the place we had on the Friday night, Crown & Kettle. Decent place, decent beer and decent prices. Shame about the toilets really

You never know, by 2017 I might have opened a brewery tap
