^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 :lol: .

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 :D


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. :)

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

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...

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.

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.

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. :(

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.
