When I want to go to a meet, I probably shan't sign up here or check that anyone else is going. The mystery about how many people are going to be there is part of the fun, does noone agree? [[Special:Contributions/131.111.202.214|131.111.202.214]] 18:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

There seem to be quite a few people here, but the posts are all from 2008 and I note that most of you are students and some may have moved away by now.  I'm interested in knowing who is still here - feel free to speak up and let me know, as it would be nice to arrange a meetup properly and meet you! --[[User:Macronencer|macronencer]] 13:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

: no worries - remember since so much of our area is on the sea there'll probably only be a meetup one in 3 weeks anyway - remember to "watchlist" the main page so you can find out a week you can come! [[User:Hello1024|Hello1024]] 19:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Roll Call!

There seem to be quite a few people here, but the posts are all from 2008 and I note that most of you are students and some may have moved away by now. I'm interested in knowing who is still here - feel free to speak up and let me know, as it would be nice to arrange a meetup properly and meet you! --macronencer 13:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I am here! :) --sermoa 06:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I have heard from Sinjax and AX recently - they are still keen to come hashing again when time/commitments permit. 04housemat, Mahahahaneapneap and donks169 are active in the weymouth graticule and have expressed an interest in geohashing in our graticule. --sermoa

Geohashes in reverse chronological order

Dear 86.24.228.98 who has just reversed the order of our successful hashes and ordered us to "keep it this way!" - care to identify yourself? I get from your IP address that you're probably in hampshire so i'm wondering who you are and why you care so much about the order! --sermoa 19:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone mind if i move stuff around?

I've refrained from touching this page too much as i felt rather like a visitor ... didn't want to intrude on other people's graticules. But now it feels like i am part of a new generation of geohashers. I've geohashed in this graticule 7 times this year and encouraged loads of other people to come along. I've set up a Facebook group and established a twitter tag. I'd now like to completely revamp this page, add lots of pictures from the geohashes and generally make it more inviting. I trust that's okay! -- sermoa 10:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

If you haven't already, I say go for it :-)

Visiting in June 2012

Hello geohashers in the UK. Mampfred, LadyBB and EmmJay will be hanging round in 50 -1 from 2012-06-12 to 2012-06-19. We'll travel around a bit and have a 9 month old with us but we're up to some hashing if it's reachable and the circumstances are right. Drop me a line or reply here if you're interested in a meetup :) - Mampfred 04:42, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, I've only just seen this. 04housemat, Corwin, Donks169 and I are still around sometimes, but we haven't been very active recently, because we're at university in different places (Canterbury, Surrey, Plymouth and Bristol) for most of the year. I just got back for summer yesterday. Are you still around? Mahahahaneapneap 21:46, 17 June 2012 (EDT)
Jup, but we're leaving tomorrow morning and the hashes today and tomorrow are nowhere near close enough for us to do. We'll be back though ;) - Mampfred 16:59, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

An excellent idea, although I'm inclined to do it on Google+ (Tho this might get me to sign up for Twitter.) -- Jevanyn 09:51, 11 January 2013 (EST)
