We have talked about going to London and join them for the party instead of having a small one in Brighton?

Everyone happy with this? We should probably make contact and make sure London are happy with us coming.

We can meetup in Brighton take a train and share "do you remember Drupal 6 or earlier stories" on our way to a brighter future :)

Who's going up then? I see

Who's going up then? I see it's in "Limehouse Town Hall" which by the looks of it is a couple of trains, DLR then bus or walk 10mins.... 2h+ journeytime :(

It starts at 6pm and there's talks then drinks I believe, not sure if I'm gonna leave around 4ish or a little later, then of course there's getting back, was going to suggest around 10ish otherwise it's issues with last trains I guess.

I am going for sure, small

I am going for sure, small chance I may be in London earlier. Don't fancy getting stuck in London so 10 sounds good.

I was thinking of making a

I was thinking of making a day of it, but then whenever I do I remember "oh, it's London" and instead go for a walk on the beach. But will check out the exhibitions, see if there's anything good on...

You should do an escape room

You should do an escape room to kill the time. There are loads in London. My brother in law set this one up: http://escapeplanltd.com/

Anyone else going or just Guy

Anyone else going or just Guy & I?

Should we have a local get together if not? Already bought train ticket but don't mind if that's what people prefer... could do with networking in London for potential work opps, but that's a long shot & happy to do the local if that's what people want but I don't know if people don't speak up!

I won't be able to make it up

Gonna have to give it a miss - got gig tickets for the same night!

D8 release team should have consulted my availability!! ;)

Steve, The D8 release team

guy_schneerson's picture

Steve, The D8 release team told me they picked this date as they heard you got tickets and can't make it ;)

I can't make it either,

karengrey's picture

I can't make it either, seeing The Vaccines at the Brighton Centre. Gutting!

Was Green. Now Grey

Not sure

As usual, I'll probably be deciding at the last minute if I go. I'm not entirely sure I feel up to travelling up there for this. Sounds like more travel time than being there!

Our regular pub meetup is the 17th, we could postpone that to the 19th if enough people want to stay local, or just celebrate on the 17th, or do both. So I guess that's up to the folks who usually come out for that, and who's going to be here.

So yeah, this post hasn't been helpful at all.

I can't head to London but up

GemVinny's picture

I can't head to London but up for a local celebration on 19th if anyone else is! :)

I am already out 3 nights

alickmighall's picture

I am already out 3 nights that week on work things, so i won't be able to join anywhere

OK well sounds like it's 1/3

stevepurkiss's picture

OK well sounds like it's 1/3 staying, 1/3 london, 1/3 doing other stuff - I'm going to stick with London as already got train ticket & sounds like there's enough staying to self-organise something!

I won't be making Tuesday's meet anyway as got a ticket for "The Great Debate - What are Universities for?" as I saw the invite & thought I'd ask the question how voluntary communities like ourselves can cooperate with the uni when they want to push us out in favour of business bookings and charge us £21k for a community event. I got a ticket with the words "We'll let you know if your question will be asked"... we'll see...

Ticket call has finished but they said to mail if you want to be added to a waitlist:

Whatever you're doing on 19th I hope you all have a very happy celebration!

Steve

Good luck hope your question

kevster's picture
