Yes, I will bring a few prints along... I'm not afraid... not at all... nope, not me... Uh, Uh, no way... definitely not...

Well, I flippin' well am! You buggers set a high standard! :rolleyes:

P.S. I seem to have booked myself into The Inn with the Well for Friday & Sat... Was going to camp... chickened out...

Good to have you on-site Bob!

No chickens involved though... It's ducks you'll have to watch out for!

We intend booking in by 5pm so I have time to play with my duck.

I do hope that isn't a euphemism!

Go wash your mind out with carbolic soap. Don't forget your prints.

I shall endeavour to remember. I'm hoping to arrive around 5 or 6pm on the Friday, but it depends on whether my back continues its argument with my new (well, new to me!) car seat; not got it dialled in properly yet.

Final summary to those new to the thread -

'The APUG Autumn 2005 UK Gathering is happening on the weekend of 15/16 October.

We're meeting up at "The Inn With The Well" (http://www.theinnwiththewell.co.uk/index.htm) in Ogbourne St George in Wiltshire on the Friday evening. For those who can't make that there's a secondary meeting point in the Avebury Ring car park at the point where the footpath to the ring leaves the car park at about 9.30am on the Saturday morning.

Saturday is looking like a day of shooting in the locale (possibly including the stone circle at Avebury, sundry white horses and anything else that takes our fancy). On Sunday there's an optional visit to the Crown Monochrome Group's shindig in Trowbridge (speakers include John Blakemore and John Swannell, details here). The evenings will be (more than likely) spent in pursuit of beer, food and desultory gossip. And beer.

Anyone who likes the sound of this is more than welcome to join in for all or part of the weekend!' If you're interested then please post to this thread or (if you're shy and bashful!) PM me so that we know to look out for you.

I think my plan is to get up early Saturday, and make the 1.5 hour drive from Bournemouth (ok - I may be a bit late! I'm not good at mornings). We should be able to stay relativly late in the evening before I try and persuede my wife to drive me home...

Hi Ian,

Glad to have you along. I've PM'd you my mobile number to make meeting up (hopefully!) a bit easier.

All the best,

Frank

Thanks Leon for kicking off the idea of last weekends meeting at Avebury and Frankb for continuing it. Also thanks, and best wishes to all those who turned up, quite a crowd; I look forward to seeing some of your pictures here. It was nice to be able to put more faces to names.
Sundays visit to the Crown Monochrome event was the icing on the cake. John Blakemore and John Swannel’s presentations were of the highest order.

[Leon]

so you all had a good time then? what places did you visit? where are we going next? - another late winter/ early spring gathering?

[Dave Miller]

We gave every rock in the Avebury Ring a hug, just for you; then we retired to the pub when it got too hot.
Oh! and Les took a picture.
