South East FRA Region Meeting

[jonr]

Hiya folks, yep its what you have all been waiting for! Finally getting round to organising a South East social.

I am looking at organising a get together on Sat 28th Feb, an evening meeting in a pub, you know usual roboteer thing, beer and chat. Please post if you are interested in coming and suggest a venue too! I would suggest somewhere in my neck of the woods, but a more central location would be better for all. More news to follow....

All the best

Jon

Can I come?

Can I come too? - although there are plenty of possible venues in my neck of the woods (Brighton) I dont get out much so I dont know what theyre like (sad aint I?)

So long as the place is family friendly if I have to bring the Pickle along.

Well, I am right in between the SE and SW regions so if you have a central SE location in mind, I would hope to be able to attend.

Would love to come, but unfortunatelly I cant do the 28th (24hr charity football- Im kinda ties up for the 24hours!) and the following weekend is our featherweight smash. Hmm, could probably do the weekend before, or March 13th. Im no loss to you tho if i cant come :-)

Ello. Its getting a bit difficult to find a spare weekend that does not clash with any event!!

Thanks so far for the offers of attendance, currently it looks like the social is going to be in the A3/M3/M25 triangle area (if that makes sense). I am waiting for my imformants to suggest somewhere suitable!

This will be the first of many (!!) so if you cannot make this, do not worry too much.

TTFN

Jon.

A bit belatedly, evening all.

Im a bit between regions (currently near Dartford, but working near Heathrow - Ill be moving nearer to work soon, which from the sounds of it will be better for descending on you lot).

Im only a proto-builder of the thinking-about-it-for-several-years variety, but if you can stand a few newbie questions while I tip myself over the precipice from the virtual to the trashable, Id be glad to get in a round or two.

However, this is only advanced warning that I exist for now, since Im also indisposed on the 28th (well if you *will* schedule to clash with a tiddlywinks tournament). Ill await future gatherings with interest, though.

Just a thought - if youre talking evenings, would you *only* consider weekends? Ulterior motive - if I start out from work, it sounds like Ill be about 60 miles closer... (also there may be less difficulty clashing with events). Mind you, after my daily commute, going almost anywhere is a relatively minor inconvenience.

Now I just have to remember to join the FRA. :-)

tiddlywinks AND robots - now theres a thought... are you looking for tips on beating your TW opponents - hardox, spinner maybe?

what ever night we choose it will be a good meeting.
All are welcome. Newbies are more than welcome. Knowledge is always freely given as always.

Karoline - funnily enough, my preference is for flippers. I guess I should be mastering opening the pit and landing a robot in it from range.

Mike, thank you. Itll be an honour to make a pain of myself with daft questions. :-)

Take plenty of aspirin Mike - with Andrew & me it looks as though itll be a long night

The Brighton area would be best for me but Ill try to make another venue if somewhere else is best for others. Are we still aiming for the 28th?

[anukhet]

South East FRA Region Meeting

Id like to know too - Ive no preference for a family friendly venue as my son will be with his Dad for the day but any thoughts about going to a dive on Chatham dockyard frequented by rough sailors is out for me and probably out for most of you lot too

Jon, Andrew and others, is Brighton a good place for you to go to for this meeting?
