I think we win the award for most unlikely place for a GC gathering.

A few weeks ago, kittyuk, UKAXO and I met up in London for a get-together. We had a blast! They are sooo much fun! Because we were just three ladies, we went to a home show and then had lunch afterward at the Belgo restaurant in Covent Garden in London.

Hey Kelly, I'll be over London here in less than a month .. if you guys doing some get together again, let me know, then I can join you guys! Will be in London May 10-17

[navane]

ACTUALLY, I may be going to an event in London on May 17. So another GC gathering is feasible!


Anyone else making their way to the UK this summer?

Oh hey! And maybe we can even get Decadence to come on down! It'd be nice to meet him. Plus, you wouldn't have to be the only guy.

Yes, Navane did send me a pix of London Post Card, still taped to the Puter!

Decadence, I would appreciate a Pint of Lagar, and a Scotch Egg!!!!

Thanks for remembering!

Hope this all works out for the Brit. contengent of GCers and visitors! Damn, wish I could be there!

Have a Great time if do happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[navane]

Hey queequek,

Bad news. I just found out that I won't be able to make it to London when you're in town May 10-17. I'm disappointed about that 'cos it would have been really cool to hang out.

If you happen to visit Bristol or Bath in between the 10th and the 13th, let me know - I currently live in Bristol and the city of Bath is "right next door".

It looks like a June GC gathering is still a "go" if you want to come back for that.

Decadence, kittyuk, UKAXO and James, if you actually want to get it together for June, we should probably try to coordinate this soon. I am NOT free on:

June 4-12: hosting a visitor
June 19: Neil and I are going to Royal Ascot!! I get to wear a pretty suit and a big fancy hat!! hee hee!!!!!!!
June 26: Will likely be working at my university's Preview Day for prospective students.

Most of that is weekdays anyway so it shouldn't be a problem.

So what say you?

Too bad it won't work out, I thought it would be nice to meet some Greeks abroad.

We really don't have anything planned as far as what to do during our visit, so any suggestions on what to do in GB would be really appreciated

Say, what is Bath? I thought I heard something significant about that, but not sure. If it is worthed to visit it, I believe you, and might be able to make it there. Is it easy to get around GB? I'm going with student budget - so I would go with the cheapest.

Hope this would work out

Calling all UK GCers!!


I will be in London and Milton Keynes on July 12 and 13. I want to know if you all wanted to get together for a GC gathering!

Hi Kelly,

Got your PM too, Saturday July 12th is kinda a maybe for me at the moment . I'll have to let ya know as soon as I can though.
My current lease (in my uni town) runs out on the Sunday so I was gonna move back down to London (hometown) for the summer then. But I meet be able to fiddle around with the dates a little and move back sooner... it depends on arranging transport for my stuff. Will let ya know as soon as I do!

Who are the definites so far? And can we persuade any GC'ers to fly over? Aww go on ya'll know you want to

[navane]

You're the first person to reply really. I invited one GCer who said she was going to be in the UK and Ireland in the near future and it looks like she can't leave for her trip until July 14th.

I haven't heard from Stephanie (kittyuk) or Caroline (UKAXO) yet.

I suppose we *could* move the gathering back to sometime past the 14th. But the thing is that I live two hours away, it's not like I can just pop in on a whim. I was going to a Polish Festival in Milton Keynes on the 13th. The 13th is also my friend's birthday - he just arrived home from the war in Iraq. While he was on the front lines, I wrote to him and promised that I'd buy him a pint when he got home. Well he's home and he wants his pint!

He said that he is going to be busy on his birthday and asked if I could meet up with him a day on either side. I thought the 12th would work out better because it's a Saturday. A Saturday is better for a GC meeting because Stephanie and Caroline work. Plus, I expect to have to conduct research interviews for my dissertation the week of the 14th. I figured I could hang out with the GC crowd during the day and afternoon on Saturday the 12th and then meet up with my friend at a pub in the evening.

But hey, I'm willing to work around it if everyone else has a better idea.

Anyone?

And yes, it would be way cool if any non-UK GCers managed to show up! Seriously folks, PM me if you're going to be "in the neighbourhood."

Finally, Richard, whereabouts in London do you call home?

Kelly,

Will you please tell Caroline to PM me and let me know she is ok.

Thanks,
