*Official* CW English Meet-Up

Okay, let's do this properly this year.

What I want people to post is...

Name
Location in the UK (plus postcode for ease of location - first part is sufficient)
How much they'd like to come to a meet-up (/10)
Any restrictions (travelling times, days, distances, etc)
Any other info

Neil Pickup
Exeter (EX4)
10 (well, I have started the thread...)
Easy train access needed

What I'll do in a few weeks is whack all this into a spreadsheet/database and work out the optimum meeting location. Geography being what it is, it will probably be in the middle of a lake somewhere, so ideally the person who lives closest to the point (I'm assuming this will end up somewhere Wiltshire-ish) may be able to find a decent place for it to happen. A cricket ground where we can have a decent six-a-side would suit.

Fire...

10 I guess (but be warned my summers are very busy, so will try to attend if humanly possible, but may be unable to!)
Not too fussed on location - maybe a County Game (we'd not be hard to spot each other in there as we'd be the only one's under 70 in the ground who weren't wearing whites!)

That was crude and obscene, but such the logical extension to my comment. Keen eye.
