Despite being from Manchester, I am not in Manchester for any of those dates. October I am in London for the Eurogamer Expo, and the rest of the time I'll be at uni. However, it's a good excuse to go home for the weekend or whatever, so if it turns out that it's any date other than October, I'll probably be up for it. |

It almost probably won't be October as I'm in America then and I want to go.

Right - sophisticated Google Map technology gives us this distribution of BeeXers across the UK. Each red dot is a BeeXer. There's one that looks quite a lot like Zardoz, if you look closely.

I can make all the dates, Jan/Feb would suit better since I'm unlikely to be fishing right through the winter. It'd be bloody cold then though. Mr Chris wrote: Why not Edinburgh? I hate Edinburgh
