UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!

[KuReshtin]

Pfff. Southerliest my curvy backside.

We've got myself and Archie from London or Helio from Southampton (heck, her home town even has SOUTH in the name!). But I think the Southerliest Playgrounder is Lix from the cattle-haunted wilds of Daaarset and Summerrrset [/accent].

Koorly = Penzance
I'd call that the most southerliest of UKitPers..

[The Succubus]

TRICKERY!

I thought you were counted as being from Oxford.

[Thufir]

Well, with regard to the meetup, it depends when we have it really. The summer meetup has pretty decent chances of being after she's gone home to Penzance (Not least because if we have it while she's still in Oxford, she may be too busy working to come to the meetup).

Speaking of when we have the meetup, table:

And not to divert attention away from this, but I am obliged at this point to once again plug The Gondoliers, coming later this week.

[factotum]

I live roughly ten miles from Land's End in Cornwall.

Lucky sod...I'd love to live down there!

[The Succubus]

So at the moment it's looking like the 7th July as our best bet.

I'm not sure if I'll manage to swing an entire week off work unless it's unpaid but I'm keen for something longer than just a couple of days - maybe 4 or 5?

[GrlumpTheElder]

Edit @^: Ooh, videos...
You didn't get one of Fold your flapping wings though.

There is however a DVD being made, and when it is, I shall upload it and take my place as one of the few versions of that song on youtube!

FOR GLORY! AHA!

Sussex, as it happens. xD Near Portsmouth. What's more, my natural accent is rather well-spoken.

...wait, Helio is Southampton? That's actually feasibly close. I should go meet Helio some time.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Both Fifty-Eyed Fred and Myself are in the Hastings area, so we're southerners too!

[Mercenary Pen]

I assume we're thinking somewhere between Emsworth and Bognor Regis... (Yes, I used to live in Portsmouth, so I have some minor knowledge of the region...)

[Thufir]

I searched earlier and found one.

[Heliomance]

I was down Portsmouth way on Saturday, actually, spent the day with a friend.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'd guess this had nothing at all to do with football (if only for reasons of self-preservation)...

[Lix Lorn]

Indeed, I live near to that dark and cursed place.

[KuReshtin]

I'm going to have to amend my availability for the 7th of July to a No.
I'll be returning from my holidays in Sweden that week and will just have got back to work on the Wednesday, so I can't really take the Friday off that week to go to a meetup.

So July 7th is out for me (unless we have the meet up here in Glasgow), as I'll not have to take the Friday off to travel.

Edit: Just also noticed that I can't do 25th August as that's the date of the National Finals for the American Football league, so I'll be in Sheffield that weekend, working football games.

[Heliomance]

Absolutely nothing. Why, was there footbally stuff happening?

[Mercenary Pen]

Absolutely nothing. Why, was there footbally stuff happening?

Not what I was getting at... I just remember that the football rivalry between Portsmouth and Southampton tends to be pretty intense- which is part of the reason I never got into watching football.

[Heliomance]

Oh, that's where the rivalry comes from? I just know we're totally better than Portsmouth

[DarkCorax]

Sadly I'm having to drop out of the Student Nationals, my dissertation is due in on the 16th and with my current progress I can't afford to take that weekend off, so have fun in Wales guys.

[Castaras]

I has a sad.

Other people going to nationals: we should trade numbers then try and meet up when it comes to the drinking and chatting part of nationals or something. and btw: What categories did you enter? I'm in Urban Fantasy. ^.^

[The Succubus]

I was hoping to attend myself hun but I don't think anyone has some spare floor space I can use. There's always another mini meet in the near future. =)

[Castaras]

Tbh, not sure how open the Nationals are to people outside of the competing unis.

[Heliomance]

I also ended up in Urban Fantasy! Awesome!

[Castaras]

Epic win!

[Exachix]

Goodluck in the Student Nationals, there's a chance you may be in games ran be people I know....

but not me. I'm not going to be there.

I think the only reasonable response to that is: Arfle barfle gloop? (No prizes for spotting the reference, apart from realising you're a lot older than you think ).

[Serpentine]

Hey, be nice. The poor dear's ill

[Lix Lorn]

Huh.

Yknow, my stepdad does Scouty things. This means I have access to a scout hut which /potentially/* I could borrow for a day at some point
This
This seems like something useful?

I entirely didn't realise that this was anything special before. Privilige in action?

*I see no reason I couldn't, but I haven't asked.

Well, venues are always useful... in particular free/cheap venues (though in the event of paying for venues, I believe usual practice is for those attending to chip in, splitting the cost)...

Of course this would be the one time that we get nearly every UK playgrounder to turn up and you run out of space within the venue

[Lix Lorn]

It has a garden.
I'm right at the south coast though.

On the bright side, if this happened, I'd definitely absolutely make it.
