A gathering?

Just a quickie...

I thought it might be nice for a few of us London-based Ooliters to meet up for a drink or two, or three, or four. (you get the idea) Ideally Giles will come along and we can buy him beer as a sign of our appreciation for his most excellent game.

Of course this may not be easy to arrange, but I figure it's worth a shot.

So what are your thoughts?

Any suggestions for times and venues?

Count me in, too. I'm down in deepest Surrey but could make the journey to London easy.

Well I'm East London, but my favourite pub for a meetup would be:

Pick a Saturday afternoon, the one during MacEXPO would probably be a good one.

I'll be the one in the Oolite sweatshirt (yes, I am that sad...)

20th November, Coach and Horses, 5 Bruton Street, Mayfair.

I'll be there from 2.00pm until at least 4.00 pm. (I'll prolly go to MacEXPO in the morning, so you may spot me there).

Oh my goodness...that will bring back memories - I used to work in Bruton Place!!!

Right, I'm up for it. See you there.

And of course, The Apple Store on Regent Street opens that day too!

I'll buy a pint for anyone who gets Oolite running on an in-store machine, and takes a snapshot of it! (You all have camera-phones right?)

The location seems fine to me, and 20th November would be great too except for one thing... My wife is due to give birth a few days before then.

Now that doesn't mean that I definitely can't come, but it could potentially be very difficult for me. I was thinking some time sooner, like during next week or next weekend. I'd forgotten about the MacExpo though and can see that would be most convenient for most people.

My *camera* has a builtin camera.


I'm going to the Expo on the Friday - the Saturday as well would be . .. difficult.

As my wife has already given birth (several years ago, three times, faster each time, I guess practice makes perfect) I'm stuck with the weekends. I'll see those of you that can make it and raise a glass to those not there (and perhaps to wet Sims Junior's head).
