Damn. Now everybody knows about the goat! Oh well, I suppose it had to come out one day!

Yes... names for the pics, please!

I know there is already at least one other location in the thread for the UK. Maybe that one should be 'Bristol and South-West'. Anyone who wants to have a meetup in their town, please let us know and we will start the thread either for the town or district.

So where will the next one be? I really think we should meet up in Leicester.. May be we should take a big risk and go to Shakonis in Leicester.. OK there is Shakonis in London, but Leicester would be a great meet up place.. Risk? because it's a vegetarian restaurant..

Shall we plan one this side of Xmas? Say mid November?

Anyone up for it?

Great meet-up guys and girls. Hope that you have a wonderful trip Stake to Darjeeling and Happy Pujas!

The sacrificial goat didn't come out too well in the photos... but otherwise cool pics, thanks a lot to The Londoner. As usual mine will take 3 centuries to scan and post...

Karuna, sorry you didn't make it, you missed a lot. Ditto Haylo.

Steve, great to meet you. You are now the Master of Ceremonies.

Susan, hope to see you in Crete one of these days.

Bearbot, enjoy India!

Ssall - see you in Cambridge one day.

I'm still in London but when I get home I will try hard with the photos. Be patient.

Might I take the liberty of creeping in and turning on the light, thus revealing the shady characters in the background.

Nick you just saved me from incipient beetroot-dom. Thanks for adding one f-stop.

You missed a great sacrificial goat evening and you also missed Steven dressed in a burkha!!!!!!!!!

I'm very amateur at this sort of thing. I just got hold of The Gimp (It's Photoshop for people that can't afford Photoshop) and hey, suddenly everything looks like a picture waiting to be re-touched!

Awesome, I cannot believe that thread only ran to two pages!

Sounds good, but I'll be in Delhi!

I know from past experience that I'll be suffering from withdrawal sympoms on my return, so lets pencil in a Bristol / Welsh borders meetup for January. It's a dismal time so it would be cool to have something to look forward to.

Yes, I would have loved to be there. Unfortunately I was committed to a really fun long-arranged event, but didn't even make that due to a miserable cold. Not saying it was a bad one but if I was a bloke it would have been flu!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in England, but at least now you have a perfect excuse, you have to come back so you can meet up with myself and Karuna!

Apologies for missing the recent meetup - looks like it was a good one! Have been out of touch for a while again.

Something a little nearer to Devon in the New Year sounds pretty good too. With luck I might have persuaded V that we ought to be booking flights and so on by then.

Mike

Thank you all for a great evening. It was great to meet everyone, Stake, Londoner, Kinstonian, Steven and especially the newcomers to London meetup, theyyamdancer + Mr t, and ms.bearbot.

Hope to see everyone soon whereever the meetup is.

Happy travels to all.
