Rockbox London Social Meet
« on: June 06, 2007, 01:50:05 PM »
Looking around on Rasher's site which shows roughly where in the world people are - I see there are about 30 odd Rockbox users lurking around inside the M25, and most of those are inside the North / South circulars.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a bit of a social meet one night in the week?

It wouldn't be as formal as a "Devcon" - I wasn't planning on bringing a laptop (and mine's both broken, and extremely heavy anyway!) - but I guess people could possible use it as a forum for some informal Rockbox discussion, as well as an excuse to have a few light ales :)

Any interest in this? I was thinking about a pub in Holborn, or the western edge of the City (going further west is undesirable from my point of view as most bars tend to fill up with tourists).

As one of those 30 odd Rockbox users lurking within the M25, I'm interested in a social meet.

Holborn/east of Holborn seems a good idea for a location - it should be relatively quiet any night apart from Fridays...

If you happen to do it between July 7 and 12, I'll be in London for vacation and would be interested.

Wednesday 11th good for everyone that's interested? (All four of us - careful in the rush!)

Was thinking of finding a drinking establishment in / near Smithfields as actual watering holes in Holborn itself are a little thin on the ground. Nearest tube station to Smithfields is Farringdon.

That would work for me.  We're staying on Aldwych, and it looks like that would be quite close.

More the merrier :)

If you're THAT close to our venue - can you recommend a pub ? (Must serve Guinness or linuxstb is going to shoot me).

I'm up for this as well, long time user though this is one of my first posts here. I work at White City but know the Holborn area fairly well if people are stuck for ideas on where to go.

So long as we don't end up in the Griffin I think it'll be cool (Febs is bringing his wife - wouldn't be a good choice unless she's very liberally minded!)

Okay - I've failed spectacularly to do any sort of visit to Holborn to find a decent a pub to start in - so I suggest we just go to Feb's hotel and go from there.

Works for me.  Let me know what time you want to meet.

There are plenty of pubs in the immediate vicinity of my hotel, though they definitely seem to cater to the tourist crowd, which I think linuxstb wanted to avoid.
