Vortex566 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) A few of us over on IRC would really like to meet up over the summer in the UK. I want to open it up to the rest of Neowin. We were thinking perhaps somewhere in the middle of the country perhaps Oxford, but we are open to suggestions. If you are interested post in this thread and we will see how many people we have interested. ---- After seeing the poll results, London on the 18th August is unanimous! London - 18th August - 12:00 - outside the Covent Garden Apple Store! Mark it in your diaries! Edited June 13, 2012 by Jan Added date.

c3ntury Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 There will be a choice between cake or death. Oh you! On a serious note, it'll probably involve drinking, and I can't legally be served yet, so sadly that counts me out from the hilarities.

Vortex566 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Not everyone will be drinking, but yes perhaps when you're 18? I'm not sure how well it would go down with work if I was seen in a pub with a 16 year old :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1082175-uk-members-meet-up-2012/#findComment-594912791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Oxford is boring, just ask DaveLegg. :p Oh you! On a serious note, it'll probably involve drinking, and I can't legally be served yet, so sadly that counts me out from the hilarities. Neowin meetup without alcohol? If I were to go I would make sure that wouldn't be the case.

DJGM Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Oxford isn't really the middle of the country though. Even if you're only count England, and include Scotland or Wales. My home city of Manchester is much nearer the middle as long as you're taking all of the UK into consideration.

DJGM Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think you should all walk around with a printed out version of your display picture and sig pinned to your jacket :p You'd be easy to recognise with a Netscape logo attached to your jacket. Not sure about the animated comets though! I probably wouldn't need to have my display picture (also my XBox Live avatar) attached to my jacket though. I've been told that it looks about 90% like the real me anyway ... well, sort of!
