FOR THOSE STAYING OVERNIGHT
Accommodation wise, the recommendation is the Premier Inn, which is pretty much next to the train station (and easy to spot - it's the big blue building with red, orange, and yellow rectangles all over it), and about 15 minutes walk from the university. Apparently a room for 2 nights for 2 adults is £66 currently.
Cassie will investigate the possibility of floorspace, but it's unlikely.
FOODS
Dominos, Morrisons, Sainsburys, and Subway are in walking distance from the Uni. On the campus itself there's the Library Cafe, and Delicious might be open for a bit of the day. If you're coming in on the train, on the way to the Uni from the Train Station there's a Tesco and various take away places.
Things Koorly (Or Others, But Mostly Koorly) Will Try To Bake
SpoilerTBC
Known Dietary Requirements To Cater For (for ease of grouping)
(To be clear, I'm not bothering to remove people from the dietary requirements list even if they're not attending, because it's easier to just have a general list that can be repeatedly copied and pasted)SpoilerNut allergy (Lensman, Qwaz, Mercenary Pen)
Vegetarians (Jibbers, Eldpollard, Tasroth, Etcetera, Last_Resort_33)
Curly and/or others may be wanting financial contributions to reimburse her/them for all the ingredients.
Also, you can make requests/suggestions, though there's no guarantee they will be done.
SUGGESTED PLANS
Friday evening: Some people arrive. Gaming happens in the evening.
Saturday 9am: Gaming at Ken Edwards, rooms 526, 527, 528.
Saturday 10pm: Trip to the Old Horse, the local pub, for drinks and chatting.
Sunday wee hours: Werewolf at undecided location.
Sunday morning: Farewells to the brave few who remained.Last edited by Thufir; 2012-11-23 at 01:26 PM.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Huzzah, a shiny new thread!
I was thinking of heading back up to Newcastle at the end of August, if anyone is interested in a mini-meet over the bank holiday.
If there are plans for a meet-up elsewhere, depending on what Serpy plans to do, that'd also be cool.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
I believe the proposed locations for the next meetup are:
Glasgow
Leicester
Glasgow
London
I propose that we move the date of the meetup back to it's 'normal' date in early December sometime. In Glasgow
In the mean time, if people want to see me, I'm doing a marathon board gaming session this week (starting tomorrow, which will be streaming live over the intermawebz (if all the technology goes as planned). See this thread for more information.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
RE: Leicester.
I can get round to setting things up in Leicester once I've returned to uni in September, and once my ordeal of trying to work out whether I'm going to pass my resit and continue with maths or switch to starting again on a different course. So mid-end of September I should be in a position to sort it out. The date would be early December, so that I'm not booking it or sorting out booking over my January exams. I'll likely be getting rooms at Leicester uni that I think I can get booked for 9am to 9/10pm. Might be 9am to 7pm. Either way, plan would be gaming on Saturday at the uni, quite possibly with a few of my gaming society coming along as well, followed by me dragging you all along to a nice pub nearby. Accomodation would have to be sorted by you lot with Travelodges or the such like. Food-wise, on the day at Uni there's catering facilities open around lunchtime, and Sainsburys, Morrisons and Dominos within walking distance.
This if I can book the rooms. I'll have a better idea September. Just brainstorming a few details.Last edited by Castaras; 2012-07-31 at 10:21 AM.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Yay, new thread!
And yes, after last meetup, you won't get rid of us so easily.
Aww, no, we'll be in Alnwick for those bank holidays... but if you have plans for meet in another we, we'll try to be there.
Yay, Leicester! I approve! (But then again, you knew I would )

Leicester gets the Grlump vote, which is like a regular vote, just shorter.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Unfortunately, while I will still be in the Playground, I will no longer be in the UK, so can't make the next meet up. Unless you want to all come out to China?
(And since the only post to follow this in the last thread was the one closing it, I hope it's okay to re-post it in this thread once:)
If anyone from the last meet-up remembers playing Dungeon! (Hamish's board game), I'm hoping to run a game starting September. Currently I'm just sorting things out in preparation, then I'm off on a plane and won't be ready till the end of August.
Is anybody interested in playing? I'd be DM, hoping for a turn a day, and hoping for 4 (max 5, really) players.It is what it is unless it is what it isn't. Or isn't what it is. But if it isn't what it isn't then it is what it is.
Dungeon! game currently being run. If this tickles your fancy, and you'd like to be notified when the next round of signups opens, come and say hi in the OOC Thread!

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Leicester is also pretty damn good for me too.
As in: I may actually be able to make it.
Glasgow is a tad less doable.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Just to add my quiet noob vote - Glasgow's a long way away, Leicester isn't so much, and therefore I'd be more likely to show to the latter.
London's really doable for me, but if I'm making noises against Glasgow, I'd feel a bit hypocritical tell Weedgies to come all the way down here.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Yes, Londonderry could be a wonderful place for a meetup... Might be a bit tricky for most people to get to though...
I'm perfectly okay with Leicester, and so long as I have the time to get to a meetup in the first place, I can't really see Glasgow being a problem.Part of YugiohITPAvatar by Smuchmuch

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
Five hundred and forty-two miles from your uni to Glasgow in fact (by car). Completely different planets. Completely different countries too.
I'm just waiting for a Troglander to pop in and say that five hundred miles is nothing at all, and then mention how they travelled over a thousand miles to get to a meetup.
Then there will be the usual sally and distance and so on and so forth.
For what it's worth, I choose Leicester too.
And this is uncanny, I mean, we've pretty much actually chosen a destination, and have someone in the area whose moderately certain she can book a venue.
We've not even been planning for a week yet!

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
I just realised that I might not be able to make it to the winter meet this year.
I'm planning on going home to Sweden for the Christmas holidays, and because the way things worked out for my summer holidays, I had to take a few extra days off then, and i seem to have run out of holidays to take, and I don't fancy driving down to Leicester after work on the Friday night or having to leave at stupid-o'clock in the morning on the Saturday to get there for the meetup (6+ hour drive at the best of conditions).
Will try to work something out, but it looks as if i will need to sit this one out.

Re: UKitP XII - On the twelfth Meetup of Christmas...
I hope it's okay (now that things have slowed down a little) to pop my head back in and let you know that the Dungeon! recruitment thread is now up with a view to starting next week.
If you played in Newcastle, or if you watched or even if you had gone by then, it'd be great to be playing games with you again!It is what it is unless it is what it isn't. Or isn't what it is. But if it isn't what it isn't then it is what it is.
