GDNet London 2006 Gathering interest check

Sounds good to me. I'd probably prefer the 28th, of those two - the 7th is a little close to the beginning of my Uni term.

No particular thoughts on what to do - I'm content to do what we did last time, but if there's something new to do that'd be cool as well.

hell yeah! I'm up for that!
28th seems like a good plan to me as well, i've got a bunch of stuff due in on the 9th for college so the 7th is in my "omfg! I've got two days todo this!" patch [grin]

28th is close to the start date, however that doesnt bother me as I'll be starting a bunch of new modules anyways and if last term is anything to go by I can lose a few 100 brain cells and still walk it [grin]

oh, and what we did last time was cool with me... well, side from the chinese food I didnt like, but then I got chips so I was happy [grin]

28th of jan sounds good to me. I'm still at home on the 7th so getting up to London takes longer and is more expensive.

What kind of time would we be meeting? I have a maths lecture at 9 on saturday but I don't really mind missing it.

let the beer flow on the 28th!

If past experience is anything to go by, it'd be afternoon-ish, possibly as early as 2pm and we catch a late lunch.

Now I don't have an excuse to miss maths [crying]

Anyway, that sounds good.

ohhhhhhhh im in :p

cool,thats 6 people so far...

ooo ooo can we have pie again?
that was nice pie!

It was nice pie. I've been looking for pie of comparable quality for quite some time now but no luck thus far.

as we are now in Jan and people seem happy about the 28th maybe someone with the power should setup a gathering announcement thingy..?

Good plan. Before I do though, was everyone happy with Waterloo station as an initial meeting point, or would you prefer somewhere a bit more central this time?

Well Kings Cross would be ideal for me as that's where my train would get in. However I'm perfectly happy to go to Waterloo.

well, it does mean taking the most boring train ride in the UK, however I think I can handle it again [wink]

and I want Piggy to wear his hat damn it!!!

Fine with me. I'll post the event.

I'll join in, I live quite near Waterloo Station and I'm also a hobby developer, albeit a rather nooby one! Things to do around that area that spring to mind are drink+eat(I don't know of any particular places around there except for pizza express)/theatre/millenium wheel/namco station(lots of game type stuff in there, where the WCG was held).

Ah, excellent, someone with local knowledge to get us started [grin]

In the past we've usually met somewhere, had a couple of drinks and then jumped onto the tube, so don't worry too much if you don't know many places we could visit. Provided we don't spend half the day on the tube we should be fine, there's always places we visited previously that we could go back to (like that bar/pub thing with the beer menu, that rocked).

yes, I second the pub idea... while I might not drink the beers the chips were nice and it was amusing watching others drinking chilli beer [grin]

I will be back at Uni by then but starting new modules so shouldn't have too much work. I can't give a definate answer yet. I may be at a gig in Brixton, London that night with a friend in which case I could join you til about 5 or 6pm and then run off. So, a maybe from me.

Hmm, for some reason I totally overlooked this. Is it possible to send out an email to all the members?

It sounds fun, and I'll try and come.
