First person signed up for the User meet - already! Mike Tempsch, possibly accompanied by his Mum (sharing the driving) tells me he's coming to the meet.... .... what about YOU?

Well, there's the entry in the Calendar. I think that Michael has told Rob that he's coming, rather than signed up anywhere.

I'm not going to make it this year. I can't really afford it, I just owe too much to the tax man in fines and late payment penalties...

Depending on Jet2's prices I may be able to afford the Sat night, from Manchester the price is about £70ish at the moment. I will keep an eye on the prices, but I think I may have to put the money towards a trip to see my Grandparents in Spain, then again I could drive there and catch the meet on the way back, mmmmmmmmmmmmm now theres a thought. Wouldn't help you much with company, and I don't think you would fit in the boot of the Smart with me and Nicola Cheers Cris.

If I can manage to sell my father's house in sufficient time, I'll probably be along again, likely with the wife in tow.

I'll try to make it again this year. The trip last year was amazing, and with no recent house debt, I should be able to sell of some company stock to buy tickets.
So, instead of the fundraiser this year, I'll just ask the community to do whatever you can to make HPs stock go up :-)

If I were to inherit a load of cash or win the lottery (even though I don't play) or publisher's clearing house between now and then, I'd so be there.

Nothing new here!
In the early 20's, management of the railways in the Liverpool area were reporting that it was unsafe to leave carriages in sidings as the brass door and grab handles were removed, adding to the problem of coal missing in large quantities from tenders.
All they've done is move the technology on a bit!

I'll be there......just found and booked a good ferry deal - £70 return, would have been £50 if I went a bit later on the friday. It beats the £200 last year, even if going from Dover means a longer drive.

Looks like I'm there - my firm has a thing on earlier in the week in Noordwijk, which is 50odd miles west of Amersfoort, so aside from accommodation, and that 50 miles I'l have it paid for. Result - I've been meaning to get there for years. Quite literally - Yaaayyyyy!

Can't be bothered to drive over again. It looks like it'll be £90 to fly from Manchester so I think I'll be doing that. Much less hassle.

Which dates are you looking at? Mine was going out Friday afternoon and coming back Sunday. Any longer and it means paying for extra nights at the hotel. So you end up paying one way or another.

We're taking the early flight friday and the early flight Monday: That Chinese sounded too good to miss.
I hope that the spare ribs restaurant is back on the agenda for friday night: i'm just ruled by my stomach!

Flying back a day later is only £10 cheaper but then there's another night in the hotel to pay for.

Yep, Sunday night is always going to be a pricier flight, because it's weighed down with stag and hen parties; they know that they can fill it!
It's so bad that the airlines have people looking round the lounge for passengers unfit to fly, so that they don't have the hassle of unloading luggage after the flight has boarded.

And my firm were happy to have my return on the Sunday rather than the Friday, so I'll be there from whatever time on Friday afternoon I can get from Noordvijk to Amersfoort.

Too bad the dates conflict again with the North Sea Jazz Festival. This year is the last year that the festival will be held in my hown tome of The Hague. The venue is only five minutes walking from my home... I will probably be able to visit both events if I limit myself to the main event at Amersfoort, just like I did last year. Pim

The flight tickets have now been ordered... 134 euro round trip from Oslo to Rotterdam with Transavia isn't too bad... I'm flying out on tuesday visiting a friend that lives nearby first and return on monday.
