i have my friday ! but i don't know -really anything- about london.. last time i've been there, i was 13...
So, my first choice is Melbourne House where Lunever is : single rooms = 115 € for 2 nights + Eurostar from Paris : 160€, total = 275 €
Then, i can choose between several train+hotel packs around 200 €. Here are the hotels adresses :
- 186 SUSSEX GARDENS
- 150 BARKING ROAD
- 81 CLAPHAM COMMON SOUTH SIDE
thanks for your advices.

sussex gardens seems very good and in the centre of london (just westof what I would consider west, right by paddington station)
The barking road one seems less good for central access, similarly the common south side.
Personally, I would either go with the lunevar's B&B so you have him, and also gambit close, or go with the sussex gardens package as you will be a hop and a skip from all the cool stuff of central london
Again, if money is an issue (eg you want to do lunever's b&B but don't want to spend the extra) then just yell!
I'm running out of time tonight, but will start e-mailing people from Monday/tueday next week. Of ocurse, someone lse could always do it beforehand!
I will pnly, given what I've seen so far, look next week for two types of places - places near penge or places between there and central london.
So, ameena's coming in from Victoria, I come in from waterloo (man, I can't wait for TF:TM to be released at IMAX, it's sooooooooo close to the station!) otherwise everyone so far mentioned will be based in the centre or penge.
Cows, how's it going with you?
I must admit, I would love for zyx and zyxette to be able to come across, but he's not said anything And yeah, Paul H has been awol for aaaaaaages, be cool for him to come
And similarly, trant, where are you man!

Haha, that's why I posted the link http://www.uk-bedandbreakfast.com/
After all, it's called Melrose House, not Melbourne House.
The 60 pound I pay there per night are for a double room for 2 persons btw.
Should you still intend to go there you should book in advance by mailing to
Melrosehouse at supanet dot com
Beo: As an Admin, can you make a Multi-PM to people we should at least inform, or simply to everybody around here?

Hmmm. I've just realised a few things:
1) It's only two weeks away and we still don't know what we're doing
2) I do not have any money to throw at this -- feel bad that some of you are talking about spending hundreds!
3) I'm taking on a two week job which will need a lot of my attention; don't know that I can now take off time on weekdays for this meet.
I would like to hook up with you guys but without knowing what we're actaully doing, it's tricky for me to know when Ican make myself available. Do we have a firm plan on this yet?

So far it doesn't look like anything's really been decided for certain other than that some of us are going to London on the 6th/7th of September...omg less than two weeks to go .

Wasn't it decided that the people who couldn't come use there web cameras? If so then I'll be set, I am going to Europe but that isn't ill next year.

Lunever - nope, no admin mass PMing option, plus that would mean they would need to be lurking here anyway
I could mass-mail, but then that seems a little impersonal and a little too formal for what it will be. Would be best to simply use the best e-mail addresses for anyone not currently around
Currently we have no firm plans so hard to book anything (also, my india trip means I can't organise anything aside from looking up facilities on the net - and there's no guarantee I willahve free time to scope them out on Saturday, even though I need to go to London)
I propose:
Thursday - social meeting of whoever wants to in a better pub/resteraunt somewhere (reserve place) as a hello sort of thing. Probably better for regulars than everyone, though everyone welcome
Friday - book a conference room for the day somewhere to host a general 'woohoo DM' thing. If we can get web access, great. Otherwise, no cam possibilities. If people have laptops, then great, then we can set up computers with any projects, and versions, etc. If someone can bring real ataris or amigas, we could maybe even set up the old stuff. Give me enough warning, I can have my old amiga disk over for example. If Gambit can come, he has alot of stuff. Etc etc
Note, I am still not conclusive I can attend a Friday session. Attending Friday means all my india stuff is completely sorted out including packing. Attending the friday session is almost certainly meaning I will book into somewhere in London to be ready to fly out the next day. That means though I have a lap top I can take across, I need someone like such as Des or Gambit to attend who lives closeby so I can recover it once I get back.
Saturday/Sunday onwards: Seems like alot of people could still be around after that, you should do stuff! Not me, I will be flying by then
Anyway, barel back in the door and just killed spammers - in between my delightful weekly call from my mum we can start sorting stuff out then!

Yay cool . All I need is a time to be there, really, so I can see which train I should be getting to Victoria...it's about 45 mins or so, or an hour if I get the slow train...anyway, not too long .

It shouldn't be that hard to get web access at a conference center, but it would be nice if people who can't physically be there to participate in some way.beowuuf wrote: If we can get web access, great. Otherwise, no cam possibilities.

Well if anyone can get access to the internet, you can contact me via AIM or MSN. I would definitely like to be a part of this even though I can't be there physically

being there is kind of the point mitch.. though perhaps next time? I don't think we'll all be hanging near computers.. at least that wasn't what I had figured on doing. I thought likley we might go grab some dinner some place and maybe run around in a feild waving large wooden swords over our heads wearing T-shirts spray painted silver to look like armour...
just an idea...
anyway, whats the list down to now? Lunever, Linflas, Gambit, Bewuuf, Ameena, ZYX, and my self? I'm sure I'm missing someone?
I'm liable to only have about £150 spending after all my other costs. Unless I can pull in some additional cash from else where. So my spending will be limited. I'll be there at 9am on the 5th, and leave on the 11th after midnight. I'm liable to head out to the airport around 10:30pm. so I'm early enough on the 11th.
Lots of time in between. I also have booked a visit to stonehenge and some other stuff as part of my flight package but I can pick what day I want to do that on..
hmm.. what else can I say about my plans... oh.. I still need to figure out exactly where I'm staying. I saw a small hotel for about £22 per night. So may do that. It's near to central london.
