Yah, get to be a pointy haired type for awhile. It was supposed to happen a few months back but didn't. I figured I was in the clear for the mini and main meets. I'm going to miss seeing you guys too, make sure you take lots of photos for us absent geeks.:)

You really should be there - I'm devising a competition category you would have a better than passing chance of winning!

Will there be a bring-and-buy thing this year? I know that I've promised Julf my old Athlon T900 board, RAM, etc., but while going through the attic, I've found a bunch of other bits that I don't need, that aren't worth putting on eBay, but probably still work, and I'd rather not throw them away if someone could make use of them. For instance: - Linksys USB100TX USB/Ethernet adapter (suitable for, e.g., a Rio Central)
- Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge.
- Highpoint RocketRAID 404 (PATA)
- Adaptec 19160 SCSI card
- Plextor PX-40TSi CD Writer (SCSI)
- Yamaha CRW4416S CD Writer (SCSI)
- PCI angle bracket riser for a Shuttle SV25
- 2x HPNA network cards (originally came with my Rio Receivers).
- IBM UltraStar 18Gb SCSI disk.
- PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter (plug a PS/2 keyboard into an old AT motherboard).
- USB 2.0 PCI card with 3.5" drive bay hub.
- Soundblaster Live! (CT4830)
- D-Link 3 port PCI firewire card.
Price: whatever you think it's worth (a beer will probably suffice, though). As I say, I think most of it still works -- it's not been used for a while -- so no guarantees. So, if you want any of these bits and you're coming to the empeg meet in September (or you can persuade someone to pick them up for you), bung me a PM and I'll bring it to the meet. If I haven't heard anything in, say, two weeks time, whatever's not had dibs on is going to the tip.

I don't see why we can't have a bring & buy, although this aspect of the meet has always been a little under utilised in the past. Maybe this will be the year!
In other news, I hope to get the booking form online before the end of the weekend. We need to get some pre-payments in quickly as we need to give Duxford about a grand in advance, due in two weeks time. Pretty much everything is planned out now, and we'll be asking for some volunteers to help the meet run smoothly. Should be a good one!

Could I ask that everyone visiting from abroad makes sure they have got the correct paperwork and insurance coverage for the period you are here?
This would help prevent a whole load of paperwork in the event there is an accident or someone falls ill over the weekend - one guest last year ended up with a lot of hassle as a result of just this situation.

I will bring:
- The couple of Rio Receivers I have left. Will hopefully get around to checking whether they work by September. These would go nicely with Roger's WET11 I'd expect.
- A Sun Sparcstation IPC with AUI to Ethernet adapter.
- A mint Palm V (thanks Hugo, but my dad can't see the screen as there is not enough contrast). Its got a serial cradle and everything. Ideal for Palantir!
- A handful of Empeg stickers of all the different types produced. Very cool, not many left!
- Network cards, graphics cards and as much random but useful stuff as I can find.
Free to anyone who is coming to the meet. If you want me to put a Post-it with your name on anything, please send a PM.

Frankly, I'm just going to bring a big stack of stuff with me and put it in a corner. If you want it, take it. Whatever's left at the end of the weekend is going to the tip.

OK, I admit it's been a while since I've logged on  My wife and I (yes, she has an empeg too) would love to come along and meet fellow empegers- is it too late? We live in Reading so we're planning to pop over for the Saturday. PS I've read about getting buttons and lighting done at the meets over the years - any plans for that this year?

That service hasn't been offered for quite some time. People are usually too busy drinking and/or enjoying themselves to sit down and do surface mount soldering all evening! Assuming FireFox is coming over you might be able to snag some buttons however you might as well just order them from his site now and get them delivered.

OK, thanks - like I said - it's been a while and there's no harm in asking - you never know...someone might have said "oh, yes, it's always a good idea to buy buttons etc at the meet"  I was actually just looking at the Greenlights buttons and wondering about getting around to it when I thought about checking back here and noticed the meet was in Cambridge. cheers

Yes, I'll be there with a bag of buttons in hand. Getting them at the meet will save you ~3 pounds shipping, but will increase your wait time to three weeks instead of one (shipped). Either way, see you there.

Have I missed something, I've been away - has the booking form not been posted yet?
I'm not being pushy, I'm just worried about missing out.

No, we've sorted out all the details but I haven't had time to make the booking form. I'll try to do it over the weekend. We're going to have to ask for PayPal payments in advance from as many people as possible, as we have to pay Duxford a big chunk of money soon.

Oh, I'm a little confused now. I was under the impression that I'd book the hotel with the booking form as well. Looks like this isn't the case, right? Too bad I didn't read the whole thread...

Yes, please book direct with the hotel. This was discussed several weeks ago. We couldn't negotiate a group rate which was cheaper than the internet rate.

I had not realised, when my daughter dropped out, that, under the internet/14day booking terms, I wouldn't get a refund for the second room, if anybody still needs a room at the Holiday Inn, would they like to pm me and take over my second room booking (I can still alter the 2nd guests room name and you can pay me on arrival).

Argh!!!!
I've been holding off doing anything re: hotel bookings because of work and I'm now glad I did . The meet happens the weekend before my new studio goes live (its first gig is likely to be a labour party conference flavored prime minister's question time, carried live, so no pressure!) and any possibility of getting things done in advance have gone right out the window when I found out this week that half the kit I'm expecting isn't turning up until the 14th!
I was originally going to take the Friday off and travel down. However, i'll now be working late on Friday and, depending upon how much stuff works first time, Saturday morning too. I still really want to attend but the likelihood is I'll travel down mid/late afternoon for the bbq on Saturday and maybe a spot of punting on Sunday before returning in time for work on Monday morning.
So, Is there anyone still looking to share a room for just the Saturday night? Or maybe some sleeping bag space somewhere?

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?)

We might possibly have one two-person room with (currently) only single occupancy. Will confirm ASAP.
