	UK Poly meet, Bristol? Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

As last year it was in February I thought I'd check to see who would be able to make it this February. Depending on responses it can be earlier (January) or later (March).

To give you a feel for the experience you can view the photos from the last meet here. Just click the thumbnails.

I think 2-3 months is more than enough time for people to have a clear diary to make arrangements so I expect everyone who made it last time to show their face this time, and that includes David Floyd.

Hmmm. Well, set it up with a firm date, and if I can find a good price on a plane ticket and free sleeping arrangements we'll see what can be done

Drinking, mainly.

Last times was a good laugh. A few of us (MattHiggs, Snapcase, End is Forever, Provost Harrison and David Floyd) had a night out in Reading on the Friday as well which was great.

I might well be up for it.

I'd need accomodation too going by the train times.

Still got to get to Birmingham first, and going out of Aber we always get delayed for ten mintues between Dovey Junction and Caersws.

Depends on who you ask.

Unless there are any major objections or better options.

Yeah, I reckon Bristol is a good one, we should be able to get some of the residents in Wales down to it as well. Stew, get your act sorted out

I have a sofa (for short people) and floor space for anyone who needs to stop over.

I have a double bed, but you would have to be strictly young, female and absolutely gagging for it to have a chance with that option.

I'm only short. But I will probably drive it. I remember how much that train fare between Reading and Bristol cost

Two outta three aint bad, surely?

Seriously though it would be helpful if I could stay somewhere, if that'd be possible

The detail you lack is the most important, sadly...

However, you're more than welcome to stay in any other room you so choose. The kitchen is not necessarily recommended, depending on how long the chicken has been in the fridge...

I just checked "the train line" to see what you meant. Can someone please explain the differences between:

SUPERSAVER RETURN £33
SAVER RETURN £41
STANDARD OPEN RETURN £82
SAVER FIRST RETURN £99
FIRST OPEN RETURN £134

All return journeys; London to Bristol.

Well, if you're in Europe, £33 will get you from Berlin to Budapest. £41 will allow for a couple of day trips to Lake Balaton once you're there.

£82 will probably get you as far as Istanbul (keep some dollars or Euros handy to get a visa). £134 will get you to Calais several times over. Once you cross the channel, you might want to keep a close eye on your credit limit...

Wouldn't Birmingham be a more equitable option..stopping the northerners (Rich and Iain and perhaps Snapcase) from travelling too far, and enable my good self to make it.

Bristol is on the corner of our isle isn't it, Birmingham ain't too difficult to get too for anyone.

Just a suggestion!

Nice idea Stew, but one slight flaw in your plan:

Birmingham is a grotty sh*thole
