RobR posted about this in the announcements forum, but people cannot post replies in that thread.

I've just finished booking airline seats for Anne and I to attend.
So.. who else is going?

Rob Riccardelli's post:

Rob Voisey is hosting Empeg's 25th anniversary meet in Cambridge UK. Date is set for September 30th 2023. Scarce on details at the moment, the event announcement is posted on Facebook and is not currently public. I will relay more info here as it becomes available. For now, in Rob V's own words:

"Empeg's 25th anniversary meet! Side events are likely to happen the day before and after the meet, and everyone is invited to my 50th birthday party at the same venue. Details and rsvp form to follow. If you have an idea for a talk or activity please post!

I'd appreciate it if anyone active on empeg groups and forums would post the date there and update it when I have an event URL. Ta!"

I'll be in Germany on that weekend and the week prior to it. I don't think I'll be in a position where I could train up for the meet, alas.

Hi All

The meet info and registration form is now up:

https://forms.gle/cRHQguG8S4QL7mkC7

If you can come, or tentatively can come, please fill in the registration as soon as possible so I can pass on numbers to the venue.

The form also has a link for my 50th birthday party, which is happening in the evening at the same venue. You're all welcome to come along - please RSVP using the form!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Rob

Unfortunately I cannot attend the meeting as I am on vacation during this period.

Enjoy it....warm hugs to all!

For those joining us for Sunday lunch on Oct 1st, we've booked the Millworks restaurant in Cambridge. It's a really nice venue that I've had lovely meals at, and they can accommodate us all together. I'll be posting a menu in the next day or two from which I'll need your selections due to the size of the group. I'm paying a deposit so please let me know if you didn't say you're joining us on the rsvp form but wish to do so, or vice versa!

Cheers!

Rob

Pre-order your Sunday lunch here:

https://bookings.designmynight.com/place-your-order?booking_id=64ef264d20f9252b211f9977

If you can please PayPal the meal cost to me at rvoisey@gmail.com otherwise we can sort it out on the day. You can order drinks separately at the restaurant.

The restaurant is a really nice old water mill which hopefully you'll like!

Cheers!

Rob

Was thinking about the ones closer to the venue, but I guess it doesn't make much difference.

I'm pretty sure someone messaged me with a talk suggestion for the meet, but I was on a train and I can't find it anywhere. If that was you and you're not Mark, Andy, Howard, Patrick or Other Mark please get in touch! rvoisey@gmail.com

I'll get some empeg @25 T Shirts made, hopefully embroidered fairly good quality. If you're interested let me know size and qty ASAP as I'll have to order them in the next couple of days.

(for collection at the meet, I'm not shipping - ask a friend to collect for you if you're not coming! I still owe someone a shirt from several years ago I think)

Rob

Probably best to email rob voisey directly -- it'll make it easier for him to keep track as well.

It's been a minute. I noticed this in my garage so I thought I'd see if this site was still up and it is! I see some old usernames that helped me now and then. Unfortunately my old empeg went with my old car with a trade in. Glad to see many still have theirs..

I have some meet shirts left. Let me know if you'd like one for £15 plus shipping at cost. Not sure I have all sizes so it'll be first come first served. Email me rvoisey @ gmail.com

Keep in mind that the start time for the empeg Pub Night calls is 21:30 Cambridge UK time every Friday. So convert that to one's local time, and Zoom in and join us. The moderator may sometimes be as much as 15-minutes late, so just hang in there!
