So finally got a date set for the US move I'm going to be flying out June 1st assuming all goes to plan so that gives me a month or so to get the rest of my stuff in order.
Also might be nice to have a chance to meet up before I head off for california.
So one of my cousins has also decided to get married on the 22nd which annoyingly blots out one of my weekends and I would expect I'll be a tad busy finalising things on the last weekend 29th which leaves this coming weekend 8th or the weekend after 15th. So maybe something around then might be doable depending on what people are upto.
I've not really got in mind anything specific for it location wise could be reading of maybe do a duckstruction in didcot I thought I'd get a feel for who migth be able to come before I decide the specifics. In general terms booze + food of some kind and of course scintillating conversation.
Whatever is decided as a the goodbye EMW mission would you mind if we made it a goodbye Nibbles mission as well?
I have just had confirmation that I've got a job in Edinburgh and will be leaving Reading at around the same time. :D
FREE PIE!
Crikey, it's the great Reading exodus! Middle of May is best for me. :)
8th works a bit better for me, naturally ;)
I can do the 8th too. Essentially any weekend that isn't this May day one.
we need to focus on the important stuff here...
FREE PIE!
PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I might be away on the 8th... Confirmation to come when I know exactly how much slacking Yell deem appropriate.
I'm up for this (assuming I can scav a lift from someone...)
The 8th works for me, and the 15th can be made to relatively easily, if need be.
I can't make the 8th (for reasons of needing to go find somewhere to live) but don't move it on my account. I'll probs be arranging something for the 29th involving booze and such.
That said if it is on the 15th I can make it, assuming lift/train is forthcoming.
venue wise what would people prefer I know quite a few peeps are lacking cars so perhaps reading would be easier?
Is there a Reading-ite that might be able to put EMW up for the night? I'd offer except the spare rooms are about to be occupied again.
I have floor...
I have spare space, but only really Reading by default...
Sounds like 8th is the most popular date here and elsewhere
So place to meet could go traditional and say the bob :D or would people prefer somewhere else
Yep 8th is good! Bob is good but the Warwick is better these days.
don't think I've ever been in there
I should be good for this... I did have a dinner party, but wasn't that keen on it, so this might be a cracking get-out clause!
Its true - its a nice place, and the seating looks good for groups. Never been there on a weekend though...
Sounds like as good a place as any to start at and we can always take our business else where if we find it not to our tastes once we've all arrived.
So The Warwick it is then on the 8th at say 7? or is that too early/late
I can confirm I'll be about, and shall drag the other half down as well...
I'll be there but alone.
@Pete should I bring Dungeon Lords down?
Yeah...that would be a good move. It even gets a car to take it home :-)
I have a spare bedroom if your interested
Cheers, but I think we're better off meeting in a pub :-)
:D I'm going to crash at byrnies
Are you sure, Pete? This is Keith's spare room; for all we know it's like a Vegas casino in there... Hell for all we know it is a Vegas casino in there.
Felix and Kate (and me) will be in the Warwick between 17:30 and and just before 19:00 for anyone who wants to say hello! They'll need to head back home so that Felix's bed time routine isn't too disturbed.
Will try to drop in to see everyone, but depends when Matt gets here...
On our way
Crap missed it, I had hoped to make it but got stuck in Switzerland. I'm hoping to make Nibbles' on the 29th so maybe see you then.
