CubeFest, London, September 10th

[GuyP]

Good work, Oliver!

All of these are practical for me. The last weekend is kind of an interesting one because I'm moving into my halls (in London) that weekend, so that would make for a slightly manic experience In fact, I think a lot of uni-people (especially freshers like me) tend to move in late September, so one of the earlier dates might be preferable.

Anyway, a September meet would give us a little more time to sort out some cool stuff to see and do and everyone gets a little more advance notice too. Awesomemundo.

Well I'm happy with either of the first two, but the sooner I know the better... I'm travelling through August and if the meet-up is early September I will tack it onto the end of the trip

I also wonder... MS talks about "the costs involved with running the event" -- are we thinking about extending this beyond simply meeting up for drinks and cards? ...We could probably still keep it to one small session and just get a location where MC can present something... But I'm not volunteering so I'll leave this for locals to discuss

yeah, either 1st or 2nd weekend is good for me, i'll just trip down from leam (plus may invite a few others from uni)

Me and my brother and my friend will hopefully be able to make any date.

*sigh*

[GuyP]

Oh Jay, why the sigh?

[oliverkeers13]

He started the original meet up, it flopped. I took over. He feels bad.

[brat-sampson]

that would be great if I could get down there. Can't really book anything in just yet but theoretically I'd like to be able to go.

[oliverkeers13]

I emailed Michael Smith in reply, asked for suggestions, assistance etc. Don't want to give too much away, but it should surprise a lot of you.

I prefer "gracefully bowed out at an appropriate moment" to "flopped", myself. No hard feelings, Jay, it was a great idea, now becoming reality.

Good grief, Google tells me there's a bar in Clapham called The Puzzle. I totally hope that's where the fabled MC brainstorming meetings happen, it would be too good. And I don't care if the glasses are dirty! (Incidentally these are part of a chain, this one looks nicest... Giant Jenga! Meeting point?)

So, non-controversially, are we trying to find a nice, U18-friendly, Central London venue? Just trying to imagine how things might take shape here, but how about somewhere to meet up hang out for a while at the beginning, then something else a bit more 'novel' in the early-evening. We might be able to sort out the party animal late night festivities at the time. I'm not convinced we need to actually hire a venue out, although maybe the saying is right: "Hire It, And They Will Come." And if there's help with costs, then it's all gravy.

I'm asking about getting IG refrences for just that, if someone could design an advert and send it in to the Sentinel, it might win the competition. If someone else is interested in organising the event (and has a knowledge of html to set up a site devoted to it) PM me. NO knowledge of London is required. As I said, I'm trying to keep the event as as much of a surprise as possible. I hope that you will all enjoy CubeFest as much as I am enjoying orgainising it.

*Edit, added info.

[oliverkeers13]

I'm submitting the dates on Friday to Michael, so the poll will be counted on Friday morning when I send my email to him.

[oliverkeers13]

Ok, people seem to be able to make all of the dates, are there any dates people can't make (Someone mentioned the last week)
