Miles * Ciorstaidh assures me that these are not the usual horrors, but have such unprecedented luxuries as curtains to keep the light out and beds^Wflat surfaces to lie on.

I'll be going too. I haven't booked train tickets yet, but 2pm sounds like roughly the time I would have aimed for.

Event Wax Sign-up:http://nwe.eventwax.com/hackday-2011 The North West England Perl Mongers will once again be holding a hackday in the month of November (Saturday 19th) and we invite all and sundry (or all and sundried) to attend either in person or via virtual presence using the aether and our channel. The event will start at 10.30-11.00 a.m. (GMT) in the physical location, but may start at any time in the aether. The event will once agin be hosted in a physical location at the Shadowcat Systems offices in Lancaster (UK) and all who attend that event will have access to a range of free snacks, beer and pizza. If you can only attend in a virtual manner we invite you to our chat chnanel, northwestengland.pm, on irc.perl.org where you will be warmly greeted. This year we'll be working on two projects! Presenting Perl [1] aims to make presentations from global Perl events available in one place, it's kinda like YouTube for Perl presentations IronMan [2] is intended to serve as a blog agregation service for all things Perl related providing a window into the Perl community and it's activities. Both projects have big and small tasks that are accessible to varying levels of experience, so don't feel that you can't contribute something! We're looking at design, documentation and code, any area needing work. If you are interested in attending in person, or wish to attend virtually then please use the Event Wax sign-up linked to at the top of this discourse. We hope that as many people as possible will join in on this day so that we can burn the code trails. Please contact Mark (mdk) or Ian (idn) for more information and I hope to talk to you in channel and see you, either physically or meta-physically on the day. Please feel free to distribute this information to as wide an audience as possible. This can include, mailing lists, groups or other interested parties. Thanks for your help.

Yes, I can confirm that now. I'll be getting the sleeper (train) down on Friday night, arriving bright and fresh and early in London, I hope. Coming back Sunday. We could arrange to meet before the event somewhere if you like? Otherwise by default we should bump into each other in the venue at some point.
