I'm making a start on organising this year's meet-up. It will most likely be in the same place as last year, as long as they'll have us and there's availability.
Please complete the poll and let me know which dates you can do (they're all Saturdays).
Thanks, Ian

Towards the end of August is better for me. My baby is due at the end of June so July is pretty much a write off for organising anything. I really look forwaard to these every year

Don't think I can do July 9th or August 6th, but any other date should be fine for me.

a quick heads up, the premier league season starts on august 13th this year and fixtures are announced on june 15th.
the reason i say this is i would majorly advise against being in manchester on a derby weekend, plus the pub might want to use the room we were in for screening the football.
if both teams are playing on the sunday we might get away with it, all previous meets (at least the ones i have been to) have not been on match days, but the season starts early this year

Although I want to be there I will be 50/50 attending this year as my little arrival is due in a couple of weeks (any day really). I'll just have to see how things play out so whatever date it turns out to be i'll see if I can make it but can't promise anything.

I think a later date could be better, the earliest dates are next month and probably too short notice. Has anyone considered a September date? Low risk of people being on holiday etc, plus gives us extra time to reserve the pub or sort an alternative venue if we need to? I hope you can make it rupertAre you up for coming down retrokevretro its only a short train ride for you isnt it?

I'm getting married on August 10th and will be on my honeymoon for a couple of weeks after. To be honest, I could do without having to organise this! Is anyone else interested in sorting a date and making the arrangements?

Please no Olympic Gold! August 6th looks like the best bet so far, but it's a shame not to have playgeneration there. September is OK for me too, but is right into football season. So who's talking to the pub? flatapex?

So who's talking to the pub? flatapex? All in hand I phoned the pub today, waiting for the relevant person to get in touch, hoping to be able to finalise details soon plus I hate olympic gold as a game, no skill involved, no strategy etc, which is a shame as I love watching the olympics

Ok I need some opinions: August 6th (provisionally available just waiting confirmation) or whatever date in September we can get?
planning to have 4 tvs and systems all running everdrives, if we get more thats great, I have 2 so will need 2 more, is anyone willing to help with this?
Possibly a competition- any opinions on this?
