User group meeting

Now Drupal 8 is out we aim to meet up regularly again with this being the second 'official' meet up post-drupal8 launch and pre-2016.

This is going to be a pub meet with plenty of opportunity to talk about all things new in Drupal 8. The pub and location itself will be announced nearer the date but it is likely to be in the Langport area.
Please keep an eye on this post for updates or tune into the @drupalsomerset Twitter account.

With a bit of luck we'll have @horncologne as special guest!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Venue etc.

May have been discussed in the last meetup etc. but do we have a venue yet?

Since it's close to Christmas

Since it's close to Christmas it's probably best to reserve spaces which is fine as long as we decide on a venue first...and we know how many of us are attending.

A few venues that can work for a meetup:

Any takers for having a meal too?

I am happy to eat if other want to :)

I have no particular view on venue though not my usual haunting grounds.

I'll chase the others too - but up for some grub to make it festive!
Venue wise - you'll have to ask my driver ; )

Your Driver is happy with any

Your Driver is happy with any venue.... but you may need to prod him if he take a wrong turn ;)

I can no longer make this :(

Have an excellent time though folks - see you on the other side!

With Dan not being able to

With Dan not being able to make it, unless we activate VAGRANT SHARE ;-), we now have four confirmed people attending. Shall we choose a venue in/near Glastonbury since that's more central for all of us?

So...

We could try The Bear Inn? If people are up for near Glasto?! Like you say we should book soon. If we get desperate we could always get pizza and have a drink at Indigo Herbs. :) It's as good as a pub!

The Bear Inn sounds good

Stefan van Hooft's picture

The Bear Inn sounds good because it's reasonable central to all of those attending and it's also a nice place. It does get very busy there so booking is indeed advisable.
If all else fails meeting at Indigo Herbs is not a bad idea at all!

I say go for it!

chris_hall_hu_cheng's picture

I don't know the places, am a definite attendee though.

I didn't make the invite for the agency I am currently contracting for so technically this is my work Christmas dinner (ho ho ho). Was horn cologne going to make it, need to know if should try a bit of beard sculpting....

Great, thank you for

Stefan van Hooft's picture

Great, thank you for confirming.

@horncologne did confirm a while ago that he's attending so a bit of beard sculping is a good idea :-)

What time's the earliest people can make it? :)

littlepixiez's picture

So then we can figure out what time is okay?

Sooo far we have (correct me if I'm wrong) :

  • Me
  • Michael
  • Chris
  • George
  • Stefan
  • Maybe Jam...?

Any more potential peoples? We could try to book for 6 people? But it's worth ringing if they have any availability, I'm happy to do this :-)

~@littlepixiez

That list looks okay to me.

That list looks okay to me. If you can ring the Bear Inn to check availability/reserve a table that would be great, thank you.

Now I know Dan's not coming...

kevinsbath's picture

Do you think you could squeeze one more person on the table?

Assuming they'll let me out of Cornwall into Somerset that is?

ooof...

dddbbb's picture

Sorry Kev, The Bear Inn has a very strict policy regarding county of residence and facial hair.

Then I shall just...

kevinsbath's picture

...climb back into my sea cave to dine on rotten seaweed washed down with contraband french brandy and mermaid tears.

I'll give them a ring today and see

If they can add an extra person! :-)

Thank you...

kevinsbath's picture

That's very kind - sorry to mess you about - but I've not been able to make a Drupal Somerset jobby for ages!

Sorted!

littlepixiez's picture

All sorted! That's totally fine. 7 people reserved now! Woo! See you there? 19:30? :-)
