Meetups

Thursday 2008-06-12

Since it's close to Loughborough, should we go? Give me a shout if you are going, I'm not walking 7 miles (that's from University) alone each way. Contact info on user page. Waq 15:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Seems a shame not to, seeing as its probably quite accessible too. I'll contact you direct. Anyone else up for it? I can leave Loughborough just before 7pm, but will catch up on my bike if people leave earlier.SminkyBazzA 16:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Is that a field or a really big garden?

I'm gonna guess its private property, but trying bringing cake to impress the owners who probably live in one of those houses. Good luck!


I brought chocolate biscuits but didn't see anyone to share them with. Hopefully next week will be closer to a town. I went by car, since going by bus would have taken until Tuesday :S - Becky

Just noticed it'll be a bit of a rare one, it is right next to nottingham uni.
