Hi all,
There's no meeting planned yet for late March, as far as I know, so shall we arrange one in the west part? Besides your other lovely comments, can you send a quick reply to put up to ten numbers in the following, please? Send it to me or the list and I'll summarise/act/ask on Wednesday some time.

And air of class and sophistication... oh, nope, not that... an alcoholics view? maybe... my palm, as usual. Myself, probably.

The next action: How about meeting up in The Globe, King's Lynn Tuesday Market Place, at 2pm on Sun 28 Mar? (Large Wetherspoon pub, serves food, not too smokey, follow signs for Corn Exchange/theatre from roads in or train station, visible from 2 huge car parks)
The summary: 7 people replied (= 200-ish didn't?); Sunday marginally preferred to Saturday, both preferred to Wednesday; Portables meeting preferred; Lynn narrowly preferred to Ely; Bar wanted.
People will bring: * my scintillating personality and extensive knowledge of very little indeed * And air of class and sophistication... oh, nope, not that... an alcoholics view? maybe... my palm, as usual. Myself, probably. * laptop with CD burner and blank CD-Rs * Laptop, maybe my desktop, 24port Switch(if needed), myself to the meeting.
Some other comments: * I prefer the more social meetings where we discuss issues and stuff, rather than specifically computer oriented ones * Non-smoking venue preferred. * A meal either before/afterwards? * last weekend in march I don't think I'd make a meeting

Apologies for not checksumming and all that, but this seems overkill already ;-)

Sounds very nice.

I would have replied if I had been given half a chance. I had no email access since Monday (*before* you posted the summary).
Sunday marginally preferred to Saturday, both preferred to Wednesday; Portables meeting preferred; Lynn narrowly preferred to Ely; Bar wanted.
Sounds fine.
Some other comments:
- I prefer the more social meetings where we discuss issues and stuff,
rather than specifically computer oriented ones
- Non-smoking venue preferred.
- A meal either before/afterwards?
Agree on all of above.
Hope to be there :)

Depending where I am (may be in Brittany, fingers crossed) and how awake I am at the time... I'll try and be there.

Me too - all three
