It's starting to warm up, the pubs are plentiful, how about an East Midlands meetup? I'm based in Nottingham, you may be around that area, and it might be a delight. Heck, we could go to the Trip to Jerusalem and go hang out in one of the caves...

Hi everybody! parmanparman is heading up our way to do some work/research and I thought that'd be a lovely excuse to scrobble together what few (but awesome) MeFites we have around here. What say we get together this Friday, February 25th, 6:30pm for food and drink? Venue tbd, suggestions welcome!

Hi Mefites -- Mrs. Dream and I will be in London on vacation later this month. Anyone interested in a Sunday meetup on October 24th? Let's meet at Walkers of Whitehall at 1pm for lunch and drinks, then walk down to Churchill's War Room, which is open until 6pm. Get as drunk as you like in honor of Churchill. I'll set up a MeFi sign on the table at Walkers. I'll update later with a phone number if I'm successful in jailbreaking my iphone and getting a SIM card.

The long national nightmare of getting my visa is over and I am coming to Birmingham to study next week. Would anyone in the Midlands (and elsewhere) be interested in a meet-up the weekend of October 8/9? It's been five years since I have been in Birmingham so suggestions of great places will be greatly and gladly appreciated.

As the esteemed iamkimiam is due to make her arrival onto English soil soon, I submit that we should have a bit of a do in her honour. (As in, we sit in a pub with some cloudy drinks and make increasingly little sense over the course of a number of hours.) [more inside]
