If it involves booking tables in Manchester then arguably you've already left it too late.

Depends on when the dates are - are you sure nearly 12 months would be enough time to get things planned ?

I thought we were going for Scottage? Or was that Cottage 5?

5cottage, duh.

Also, should surely be Cottage: Resurrection, for all you Whedon-y types.

October is too long. We should totaly get together and have fun in April.

Thats already the sub-heading (although I often miss them)

Ah yes, so it is.

Cott4ge In The Woods?

Four Cottages and a Funeral

Also, in!

.... ..... ....

Totally impractical and a silly amount of money but this is as good a place to post as any :

Damn, that place is lovely. A bit of a different category from the cottage in Derby though

The place in Scotland that is owned by the owners of the Derby Cottage is this:

Same carpet and everything!

How much is it?

£1500 for three nights.
That seems... Doable.

Only room for 16-22 though. I imagine Derby would have been much the same price if we'd only taken the larger cottage.

Aside from pretty much ruling me out in distance terms, whats the advantage?

Funzies.

Yes... You can see the difference in the properties though, right?

Look at all those tables for games of One!

Don't you dare! That's when my next exam is!

Also; sauna!

Although, I do agree, it's not central enough to allow everyone equal opportunity to get there, look at what Malc went through to get to Derby...

So, Curio, got any dates in mind yet?

There's always the traditionally ignored Spring meet in the North West to look forward to.

Will you be organising one this year?

Maybe. Haven't really thought about it yet

*stamps foot petulantly*

The date I have in mind is the same effing weekend we have it on every year.

I'd like it to be in France. By the sea. Please.

That place in scotland looks like it's 3 appartments in 1 and that it sleeps 50-58 people if you book all three!

I imagine you would want to go earlier in the year than October mind, and it might cost a lot to book all 3!

Malc

Same procedure as every year, James.

11th - 14th?

*gets annual leave form out*

Yep!

Excellent. This (next) year Joans and I are being sensible, and booking the whole week afterwards off!

FTFM

April would probably work for me.

Unless your exam's on 30 April, we can do it after your exam, and have a good reason to drink wine!

Squee! Won't get the exam date for a couple of months though.

Then I vote we plan the SpringBeex around that!

That's for the Northern types to organise

We should do it in Devon.

Or the West Midlands.

Noooo. No. I'm not sure that would work. I seem to remember a beex map that showed the centre of our distribution being somewhere near Devon. Or wherever it was I wanted to meet up that week.

Subtitle should be "Cott4ge Harder".

Oxford. Greatest city in the world.

There is some crash space at Kern Hall, or plenty of b&bs, hotels, and hostels to suit every budget. Or even rooms in colleges if it's out of term time.
