With four weeks to go and excitement mounting, I reckon it's time to plan this year's forum meet-up.
For me, the opportunity to catch-up with old friends and make some new ones has always been a highlight of the Thursday evening, and I've tended to see the Thursday evening musical offerings, other than the headliner, as less important.
However with the Lost Map shindig this year, I imagine the Far Out tent's offerings will take on a greater significance for many of us.
We've tended to go for the Walled Garden bar in recent years to keep away from the very busy Far Out area and have a bit more room, but I'm wondering if it might be better to go for the End Up bar area this year to be a bit closer to the glittery action?
What do people think?
The other option would be to arrange the meet for a different day/time but I think Thursday evening is still the most practical option overall.
The End Up bar might be the
The End Up bar might be the best option although my only must-see on Thursday is Johnny P.

See you at the End Up bar
See you at the End Up bar then.
Off to Ireland in search of rain on Suday, acclimatisation for GM.
Was the pain of the procedure worth it, Ray?... Seems like a lot of bother for incremental change.

Sounds like a general 'Aye' to the End Up as the location.
I'll stick the usual thread up at the weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.
