	Poly Meet, London, Saturday 21st August 2004. Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Well there is always a poly meet in the middle of August in London and they always seem to be very popular. I have been talking to Andy and he is keen on coming over once more for a bit and attending one of these, so I have picked a date in the middle of August. So come on, who is up for it?

The venue will probably be The Shakespeares Head, Kingsway - near Holborn tube station. Come on, you know you want to!

Shakespeare's head? sounds expensive

Well it is another Wetherspoons pub. But as our previous venue (Moon Under Water) became a considerably more expensive and noisy Lloyds No.1, we decided to move it. Still pretty close to the original place though.

There was another Moon Under Water on Leicester Square itself, but it's tiny and packed...

Ditto Iain, the other isn't really suitable, so we have moved in the opposite direction...

I'm going to London in late july or early august to visit the lab I'm invited to work in. It would be nice to have a beer or ten with some of you guys

That would be cool if you could manage it! This is why August is a really good time for these meets, there are many international poly posters around this place, and few people are booked up this weekend (as it is the week before the bank holiday weekend)

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Provost: I will almost certainly visit London before august 21; I want to make the job decision as soon as possible as it takes a few extra months to arrange the practical things.

Of course, nothing prevents me from going to London twice
Anyway, I will PM you Provost (as you are a fellow molecular nerd ) when I will go there.

I'd think 08/14 would be more "middle of August" than 08/21.

08/21 is inconvenient for me, because I have a commitment on the 22nd.

Does this mean that the plan for a Paris-meet is off?

Well, since there may be two other qualified bioscience geeks, who knows, maybe I'll make the effort!

Well if I do get to make it, and I get tonsillitus again (hopefully not ), then I'm taking as many painkillers as I can AND drinking.


I'll be needing to stay on the floor of someone's car

Paris Schmaris... I'm planning my holidayshere folks, and I don't mean to stay in Paris for a week.... in London I can stay at Provost's place, which should be fairly cheap

Saturday 14th is fine by me, so let's have a poll, 14th or 21st. indifferent here.

Right, I will book the time off first thing on Monday. I will send you an email to confirm everything is OK (even if I don't get the whole week off, I will be able to get most of it off).
