Poll: DC contributurs meeting / beers / get together - Reading - 28th October

[Steevo38]

I might be up for it... put me down as a maybe. it depends on work.

I'd prefer london or somewhere easy to get to from Colchester as I'm lazy.

No under 18's if you ask me as this has been mentioned several times.

Peace!

How about Colchester.

 

[richard smith]

How about Colchester.

Well, that'd be optimum of course

Well, that'd be optimum of course

seriously though would Reading be too much trouble? - seems nice and central (well for the southerners and midlanders anyway )

Anywhere realy. As long as there is a cheap hotel nearby.

Manchester it is then!

Or Derby. Derby is nice.

nice compared to Manchester maybe?


I think the chances of setting a venue that everyone will be happy to get to will be extremely remote, best to just get somewhere decided and a date and then see who's up for it

I guess not... I'll need to book a hotel but that shouldn't be a problemo...

Just waiting for HT to do the honours. Just hope it's not one of the weekends I'll be away.

 

[Xplo]

Another vote here for Colchester, That makes 3 of us.

 

[Whitestar]

Colchester would be better than Reading for me.

 

[KE1HA]

I'd vote for Reading as well .. the GF lives just outside Reading ...

When are we talking about doing this, her there been a date set yet ?
.

 

[diogenese]

I'd prefer Reading over Colchester, 'tis the right side of the M25!

 

[shadowscotland]

here's a radical idea (on the DC spirit) why not have two events?
same time and date, just different venues.

 

[Steevo38]

Venue isn't really a problem for me.

Reading seems to be the most popular so why don't we just decide on that?

Then comes the date.................

 

[joeyjojo]

Maybe a poll for the location to make it good and fair?

Reading
Colchester
Manchester
Derby
London Town

And yes, the date...

 

[Berserker]

I'm still waiting for Mr. HT. He seems to have gone AWOL.

 

[A.N.Other]

I might well be able to do Reading (depending on when it is obviously). Reading would be far easier for me than anywhere else mentioned (oxford --> reading on train = easy).

 

[happytechie]

right , I'm back (I don't do internet at the weekend, real life gets in the way).

Reading seems like a popular choice.... or do we need a vote, I wasn't really anticipating such a big responce with poepl willing to travel long disatnces

if I'm going to set a dat / choice of dates, what do people prefer weekdays, fridays or saturdays?

Mr Beserker, a poll for the locations sounds like a good plan to me

[Berserker]

OK - I can do that, but if we then want a poll for dates as well, that could be a problem (would need to find a friendly admin to remove the old poll first).

However, I think you should just go ahead and pick a time and place, otherwise we'll be at this forever - you can't please everyone - meets have failed trying to do that. If you pick Reading, there's nowt to stop anyone organising another in Colchester, or London, either now or in the future.

 

[happytechie]

right then, decision time....

I'll choose Reading as it's the easiest mainline station for me to get to and I'm a selfish bar steward like that

the options we have (well I have )

Friday the 6th Oct
Saturday the 7th

Friday the 13th Oct
Saturday the 14th

and so on

any preferences?

I still can't get over the fact that people are willing to travel the length of the country to meet some strangers from an internet forum who all happen to run DC projects for the bestest team iin the world
