South East FRA Region Meeting

Brighton is fine with me as a venue (less of a trek from the Dartford area than I was expecting). Never been there before, mind, so I hope the exact location isnt too hard to find!

However, I still cant do this coming weekend. Without meaning to pry, I thought you, Mike, had some engagement which was stopping you going to Preston this weekend - are you definitely still available for this social? Just double checking because, with Eddy also indisposed, a third clash might mean people should reconsider a reschedule.

Brightons fine by me - hope its not cold.
Andrew for goodness sake - just go down the A23 until you hear a splash

:-) I can find Brighton, its where *in* Brighton which bothers me. Mind you, if we say the pier...

Hiya folks, sorry to say I am going to postpone the social this coming weekend.

As its turning out to be not too good for most people, I would like to move the date to 13th March instead. I would still like to come to the Brighton area as this has previously been suggested and everyone seems happy with this.

Apologies again.

Jon.

Sorry to be one of the reasons for that! Still, I *can* make the 13th, so at least one source of awkward questions will be there. :-)

Thanks for being accommodating!

Im free on the 13th March, can I come too? I live in West Kensington so I suppose I am covered by the South East region.

March 13th is also fine by me

I will make sure that is is also clear for me as well.

I propose that the venue is still in Brighton. If you travel towards Brighton from the A23, after you go under the A27 and over the roundabout there is a harvested type of resturant / pub about 500 yds on the left. Is this good for everyone?

Cool that everyone seems to cope. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Mikes venue sounds easy enough to find. Only thing is, is anyone planning to bring their hardware along (not to run, obviously)? (I only have vapour to bring, but for those of you to whom its relevant). If so, does the pub have outdoor seating? Id guess thats the easiest way to handle things - permission might be needed for anything to be brought inside - but maybe the whole beer/electrics/sharp surfaces issue is such that robots dont get brought to these things anyway. Still learning the protocol. :-)

The other thing is, other than evening, what time shall we say? My timekeeping is traditionally abysmal, but at least Id know how late I am!

Since Mike is probably the only one Id recognise by sight (although Id recognise Jons pig) unless someone brings a bot, Ill be the one who turns up late, looks around, fails to see everyone, and then starts playing tiddlywinks.

See you in a couple of weeks!

I thought I posted a message to this thread earlier but my connection went a bit Pete Tong. Here it is again but with more details.

Ive suggested a different venue to Geoff (on Johns behalf) who asked me to check it out. Ive found a goodun just outside Brighton in Saltdean with plenty of parking/space etc with food, booze, play area for the kids, park for a kickabout, sea - what more do we need. Anyway Im sure the confirmed details will be posted by Geoff or John soon.

Hokay, Im easy (or so they say).

I just read that as booze area for the kids. Possibly its time I went home from work.

Looks for me.
Not a good idea to bring heavy weight robots into pubs. Been there and done that. Need the chest to pin the medal on though.

Andrew, I will be the tall bald one in the corner already playing with my Tiddlewink.

You asked for that
