UK Eastermeet UPDATE: 30 March - 6 April 2018

Post by Fenchurch »

It's that time of year when we start planning our annual UK meetup! I'm starting to look at accommodation and so it would be good to get an idea of how many of us there will be to ensure I book something suitably sized.

As always, newcomers are more than welcome, we'd love for more scummers to join us and I know there were some maybes last year that we're hoping will turn into yeses this time around.

Dates: Friday 30th March - Friday 6th April
Location: Holiday cottage in Suffolk, near to Ipswich - PM me if you're booking travel and I can give you the exact address.
Cost: Likely to be in the region of £100-150 per person for the week.

In or presumed in:

1. Fenchurch
2. Cogito Ergo Sum
3. CDB
4. Patrick
5. Shanba
6. Primate
7. cpol
8. chamber
9. Max
10. inspiratieloos

Maybe:

1. Elmo
2. Xdaamno
3. Bellaphant

Out but will be sorely missed:

1. Nexus
2. Davsto
3. OGML
4. mykonian
5. Porochaz
6. AurorusVox
7. Sudo_Nym
8. Faraday
9. Kittymo

Status unknown, but we want you:

1. Staeg

Midlands is ideal for myself. If I get a job for a few weeks I should be able to fund. Would love to come!

Oh yes - I have just always imagined we'll be doing both, we usually have multiple meets per year. I have a bunch of questions in my head that I need to send to you about your plans Shea. Eastermeet tends to be a bit different to city meets though (less travelling, more gaming), and having something in the holidays means that students/teachers can attend.

It does make sense to mention it though, that if anyone can only make it to one or the other, Shea's London visit is 8-16 May next year.

(I will obviously be in for this. I'm seeing Arcade Fire in Birmingham on April 11 so a different week would be strictly better for me but really I'll just do whatever week works best for the most people and then disappear for 24 hours if needs be.)

I mean you guys know Im always extra keen for the usual place. Obviously I want AV and Nexus there, which takes priority, but if neither plan on coming, and we get our usual lodges for a different week, I say it's probably a better choice. (cheaper, quieter outwith the Easter holidays?) EDIT: as Im aware the lodges aren't available for that week
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

I'm in Berlin for definite during the Easter holidays so I can't come during Easter regardless.

I currently can't plan that far ahead, so put me down as a maybe, and I'll likely come if there is space.

I could be tempted to come back and see more of the island, provided the plane tickets are reasonably priced.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Any other UK or Euro meetups happening between now and next May/June would also be relevant to my interests

Look at CDB, pretending that he actually wants me to pollute his country with my footsteps.

Don't blame you; this Sudo guy is pretty garbage.
