Right, we're doing this. Here are the possible dates:

4th
11th
18th
25th

All Saturdays. We'll meet at Cambridge Blue pub, a fucking excellent watering hole with a large and high capacity garden.

Who's interested? We'll hash out the details later.

Can't do any weekend 'cept 25th, that might also be good for getting discounted advance tickets. 2nd July weekend also.

Might manage this on whatever date you go with, even though it's over 5 hours by train. The later the better for cheaper train tickets, obviously.

Edit: Cambridge hotels are horrendously expensive aren't they? Is it easy enough to get to Stevenage in the evenings (for a cheaper hotel)?
Double Edit: Looks like it is. Might manage still.

Same. Can't make any promises as my stag do is the weekend prior and I'm likely to be a trembling wreck after that, but if it falls on the 25th I'll do my best to be there.

I can also only make the 25th but up for that if that's the decided date.

I hung out with hummingofevil, thugler and boki at Supersonic Festival in 2019, that's got to count for something.

Yes, 00s CaB had several Brum meets and it was a bit of a hotbed for Chris Morris fans in general actually, but several of that crowd left the forum, at least to my knowledge.

I was pondering in the York thread it's about time maybe for a Birmingham meet. Maybe we would get on?

I might come. Or, I'll join you in the Blue, which is a pretty nicely expensive outlet but with a full array of tasty beers and ciders. If you remember me, tmwb, suicide attempt survivor!

Really thinking I'd like to attend this one.

Well, it's hardly a short distance! I wanted to make the York one but couldn't due to other commitments so it'd be nice to be at this one.

Coming to the Cambridge meet from Scotland would be insane, I'm moaning about travelling there from Leeds and I basically go anywhere that's under 3 hours away.

Alright, let's lean towards the 25th or even into July. That seems the best option at present.

There's only like three of us down in the South West so it'd be a real boon (Mrs B., Essex)

Provided one is welcome etc etc

I'm really sad I missed the London one, and sad I've not been able to be very c&b active lately. Wonder if coming from Brighton is actually feasible

To be fair I'm not known for my sanity. At least the ECML is fairly fast nowadays.

Start of Jul is good.

I'm at a workshop in Cambridge for something like 22/5-1/6 and 6/6-17/6. (For information.) We could have more than one meet.

Ok so how about doing a Cam meet during the times you're visiting? The Cam and Cam-adjacent folks will be able to do it easily. And a separate Brum meet for the those who would find it harder to get to Cam and want something more central?
