I think the rule is one pint of blood for each meeting, plus a one off
donation of biscuits. :)

Karen is in the Carribean somewhere on the Perl Whirl, rubbing shoulders
with all those people whos books we learn from... We're not bitter, no.

NB: Belfast Intl is far away from Belfast. The bus costs something
around a tenner iirc, and a taxi much, much more...

Do we have exact dates yet? Or venues?

In case you missed my post, my floor [0] is up for grabs. I currently live
in Belfast, but by then I'll have moved a bit further out, about a 15m
bus ride in to the city, iirc...

[0] Or suitable more comfy place like a sofa... I have a few sleeping
bags too...
