The hard core might wish to camp at the party venue - turn up around 19:30 to pitch your tent in the wooded area, and please let the organisers know in advance that you plan to do so.

From the meet site's Saturday detail page. Maybe you've got a free bed under the stars. (the BBQ venue is at Rob's house right?)

Yep, space for several tents, just let me know in advance if you want one of them.

I've been up in it, and it's a lot of fun. Did it at one of the Duxford autumn airshows a couple of years ago and came in to land just as a Red Arrows hawk took off, which was cool.

It's a bit rickety!

Talking of the flight, I have to confirm numbers for that tomorrow, so if you haven't booked yet please do so right away. It may not be possible to accommodate late additions as they need to plan how many planes/pilots they need for the afternoon (yes, they actually have two Rapides - amazing!).

Cheers

About 25 so far. I'm hoping for nearer 40 based on previous feedback.

It's time to flesh out the agenda a bit. Here's what we have for the afternoon:

Patrick Arnold - Robotic Mayhem
John Graley - Speaker Cabinet Design
Mark Lord - Hijack
Rob Schofield - Empeg Servicing Q&A

These are each an optional seminar you can attend or not on the day. We also have a 90 minute morning session for which I would welcome requests for particular topics or activities you would like to see. Please post your ideas here.

Thanks!

Rob

I think we'd all probably like to have a touchy-feely session with anything Numark is working on that you can show us -- those DJ dock things look pretty interesting..

I'm hoping to run a "Where Are They Now?" segment, with former empeg developers briefly talking about what they've moved on to, and in some cases perhaps showing us a few toys. The former empeg types that ended up at Numark will certainly bring along a few goodies, including some that run code licensed from empeg.

I'm seeking some volunteers to help man the Margarita Bar (training provided!) and the BBQ during the party on Saturday evening. If you'd like to help please email me!

Maybe I misread something somewhere, but it seems like the flight over Cambridge happened at the same time as the seminars. I'd have liked to attend both, but the seminars win for me.

So, our attendance will be changing throughout the afternoon as people come and go from the flight and museum?

Yes, the afternoon format is different to previous years - you can turn up to whichever seminars interest you. This is particularly good for partners who (for some reason) might not *quite* be interested in what Hijack can do for them (their loss!) and instead can take a look around the museum. Our room is right in the museum grounds so it's very easy to come and go.

The flight is at 4:30, so clashes with Rob's servicing seminar. Not much we could do about that.

Cheers

If you're coming to the meet and require vegetarian food, please let me know so I can be sure we don't run out of celary and carrot sticks! (Just kidding, it'll be far yummier than that).

Cheers!

Well, not vegetarian, but no pork, and preferably not *only* meat...

I moved the speed camera posts into a new thread in Off Topic - a good discussion, but at risk of hijacking the meet thread!

I have just (barely) enough time before flying to the UK to prepare perhaps one or two all-MDF player docks. Does anyone who will be attending need/want one? Price would be 75 quid. Reply here, and also by email (mlord at pobox duht com)

Okay, today I built two docks. One has been claimed already, and the other I'd like it to go to someone (anybody) from the UK/Europe side of the pond. GBP 75.00 cash, on Saturday at the meet.

Email me today (mlord at pobox duht com) to reserve it.

Otherwise, I've already got an offer from North America.

Cheers

Will anyone be at the hotel on Thursday? I will be there tomorrow almost all day if someone wants to grab a bite, hang out, or do something else. PM me if you want to swap phone numbers.

EDIT: I can also help set up the event if needed on Thursday and Friday.

Unfortunately I've got visitors over from China on Thursday and will probably have to take them to dinner. I have Friday off work and will be setting up for the party - I could probably use a hand from a qualified lighting tech such as yourself! That is, if you promise not to laugh at the state of my kit. Every time I repair a fixture another one fails!

Does this mean you no longer require my services on Saturday afternoon? If you still need a hand, what time should I be looking at coming over?
