London Meet, Spring '09 (May 1st - 3rd )

^Thats a good point for the Euro Mainlanders - everything in England is currently half price when compared to the mainland. A Royale Burger meal is 7Euros at the moment, whereas its £3.79 here, for instance

.

We can't offer the 15 cab shooter lineup that France can though. Just a bit of Pork, 4 loops of Raiden 2, Blazbleu & SFIV.

Actually, that reminds me, I just took delivery of my Viper Phase 1 PCB. Now that Casino has replaced Raiden Fighters Jet with Strikers 1945 (and we already have Strikers 1945+ there) perhaps my Viper Phase 1 could go in Casino for a few months?

We'll sort that out in the Casino thread if people would be interested for it to happen...

Am upset with the removal of RFJ, I hope they get it back sometime. I guess that Night Raid still isn't working there too?

Strikers 1945 isn't my sort of game, so I won't be playing that much there.
Viper Phase 1 would be nice, playing for score is a big pain, but it would be better than Strikers

I'll see you all on Saturday too.

Well it seems foreigners find travelling up to Toulouse is too troublesome so I'm not sure we'll see any, that's too bad.

Hellos, I'd just like to know if this meet is definitely going to be on the 11th and 12th of April, as I'll have to book my transport soon here.

Post by **spadgy** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:34 pm

Yeah - shall we just go for that date people? It's been a long whole since the last London meet so we shouldn't let this one go off the boil!

Who's in?

Need to get bloodflowers to bring his DDP DF

If at all possible, I'll be down for one of those days.

Post by **spadgy** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 1:15 pm

And Lordstar - you still need a sofa to stay on?

Taylor · Post by **Taylor** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:09 pm

Any chance we could convince management to open a cabinet up?

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:20 pm

spadgy, if lordstar doesn't take you up on it, i might go down to this meet, and be interested in that sofa..

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:22 am

So Icarus & I can't make the April date.
Can we do a weekend in May?

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 11:57 am

May will be fine, which weekend are you thinking?

Of course mate. It's a small flat, but you'd be welcome. I only have room for one and I have offered Lordy - but if he decides not to you're next in line!

So - May then? I'm up for that...

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 2:57 pm

Maybe 1st weekend of May.

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:37 pm

Maybe I would come too if you're doing that in May.

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:07 pm

early may would be better for me tbh

Smraedis · Post by **Smraedis** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:41 pm

Am happy to say that I didn't book my travels for the 11-12 of April.

I will most likely be able to come down on the first weekend of May, though it is just after my birthday, and I'll have to see if anything else will happen around that time for me first.

Phew! I was worried about that!

So go ahead an rearrange, guys. Heck, if you guys are up for it, we could make the big shmupsmeet on the same weekend as the IC '09 event, and all get together during the weekend for some impromptu and officially-arranged competition. With a ton of freeplay cabs on offer, why not?

If that will be the case, then you could consider making the May meet a traditional mini-meet.

RGC · Post by **RGC** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:08 pm

I like this thinking. :thumbup:

Toulouse is indeed a major detour from any of the big transport types into France.

You'd need to go by car to be going their anyway fast, which is ok but expensive and too much hassle for most of us I suppose.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 10:19 am

Yeah I guess IC'09 and London as a mini-meet first weekend of May.

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:41 am

when is IC 09 ?

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 1:55 pm

Its 18th-19th July.

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 2:23 pm

mmmh it's not in London, probably expensive to reach from France, but will check it out.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:01 am

Looks very much like I can do the very first weekend in May. Which I think is 1st-3rd May.

Can we set this

Ah, this wouldn't be cool for me. I'm expecting to be real busy that weekend with IC09. Beginning of May is okay though (IC09 is in late July) and most people seem up for that.
