Excellent. Am sure we'll have more definite plans come next weekend!

(But are you sure you want to eat at home and not with your fellow BCs?!)

The problem we have with people saying certain times is that it may not be possible - I certainly wouldn`t want to rush food just to get to a pub. Forbidden Planet closes at 7pm, so If people wanted to meet there before it closed and we then went on for food (remember if people are finishing work at 6pm - 6.30 eat time may be a little rushed (especially if travelling)

Can we have a bit of order here, I made the suggestion in the 1st place about the meetup, and whilst it`s fine to include people, If we try to accomodate everybody, it won`t be a relaxing day out. best thing to do is either send me a PM with your contact details and I can return you my mobile number (if you can`t make the initial Hitchhikers Meetup) and then you will be able to find out where we are at a certain time.

1st thing we will be doing on Saturday is `Hitchhikers` exhibition at Londons Science Museum - 12pm Entry

Then depending on what time we get out of the exhibition, maybe a quick bite to eat (snack & coffee shop).

Then there will be a bit of time to choose what to do next until going to Forbidden Planet later, enabling others to join up - and from there go for food & afterwards if we don`t get tied down talking, a nearby Pub (the Pub depends on Phoebe and her friend too).

The final coach back for me is at 2330 from London Victoria - so will need to leave just before 2300 (2245) to get to the coach station with a bit of time to spare (this is the last coach, If I miss it, there isn`t another till the early morning)

Well obviously I'll be at the Exhibition at 12.00 so will see you & Nik-Nak there. That gives us a fairly lengthy afternoon to fill, can't see that we'll be too rushed & hopefully should be OK to meet, for instance, Becsthebeast at around 6ish. Seems a good idea for us to end up in the area around FP as so many nice places to eat there.

Hopefully we can sort out a fairly definite plan in the next week & people can decide whether they can make it or not.

Over to you Captain!

Absolutely right.

I suggested a venue once. Someone didn't like it so I compromised and, although we had a fun time, said person didn't turn up and a lot of people liked the idea of the other venue.

Organiser has the last word, especially as you've taken the time to sort it out.

I'll post a PM with mobile number and hang out until people are "settled" post food. I can say the youngsters are my daughters.

hey - i was only suggesting places that i know around the area as this is where i do a lot of my drinking and eating!

i was assuming that on the day it'll depend on how it goes as to when and where people want to move - its a little hard to know what people you've never met before are gonna want to do

it seems to me we have a pretty good plan (and remember the best thing about plans is its much easier to change them once you have 'em!)

science museum at 12pm and forbidden planet sometime towards the end of the afternoon
and then some drinking and/or eating

zol - i'll send you my number and that way i can find out where you all are -

Personally I just hope we can group together around 6.30-7ish for a nice relaxing meal before everyone has to go their separate ways (have to confess I prefer restaurants to pubs).

Am sure your suggestion for the restaurant is a good one - the main problem just seems to be getting everyone to agree to be at one place at more or less the same time. But hey, we can sort it out!

So, out of the people who've expressed an interest in going, how many of you have met before?

I tend to agree about the pub thing, it`s nice to have a drink with fellow browncoats but it`s much more easier to talk in a cafe or restuarant.

BTw is there anywhere that needs a visit in between Hitchhikers & Forbidden Planet?

I think the weather may dictate a little - here`s hoping for a lovely sunny day.

Darin (Zol.)

p.s. Hopefully we will have a few mobile numbers swapped round, so others cn find where we are at a time to suit.

Well as a London regular I'm not that fussed - shall leave it to you tourists to decide!

Certainly hope the weather's improved by next week - it's horrible today!

Shall send you my mobile no - do we set all phones to "Firefly theme" for ease of identification?

I actually haven`t bothered to find a multi-toned firefly theme for my phone, I think it`s set to standard US ring

If the weather is good and peoples legs areup for it, a walk along the Embankment is good, especially if the street performers are out (you know the ones, the clockwork guard, the living statues (Hero of Canton?) etc.)

But I`m easy going as long as we begin at the Science Museum & End at Forbidden Planet, should be pretty easy day.
