UK meetup? (on hold)

[swimmingbird]

I find it funny that an Aussie is organising the UK meetup

I might be able to come, I would probably drive down, but it's quite a way.

I am British by birth and lived there for 6 years as a kid so you don't need to worry about any convict behaviours  )

I was thinking of training it as driving for 7 hours in a day seems like a bit much ha

true... yeah idk could make a road trip of it? idk what ima do yet as i can only stay for sat lol

[RoastPotatoes]

I'm kinda interested but I'm in the south west so as expected, nowhere near anyone else.

I've lugged a suitcase of headphone related stuff to London and Manchester on the train before but would need more padding for my little keyboard collection.  Oh and it would have to be long enough to justify a night or two in a hotel...

Two person south west meetup

[swimmingbird]

It's up to you guys if we want to make this a "keyboard event" or just a meetup
I'd probably prefer just a meetup as it makes location a lot more flexible but it would be awesome to see everybody's setups

24th @ Brighton works for me, as long as we'll be done-ish around 4pm, so as to watch the allblacks in the world cup semi-final. I'm open to suggestions for a good pub to watch the game in. Looks like there'll be plenty of trains I can catch back to Sutton (south of London) after the game.

I'm assuming people will be bringing a few of their keyboards for us all to ogle and fondle. Hard to see the point of traveling for it if it's just a chinwag in a pub sort of thing, with no toys to play with. I'm kinda seeing this as my big chance to try out a Topre keyboard for the first time - is anybody bringing one? What about Blue Alps? Anybody?

i can bring a bunch of different topre, both stock and mods, i guess its easiest for me to bring things down being as i live here

there are plenty of pubs thatll be showing the game should you wanna do that, and some good pub grub and whatnot kicking around here

I was going to bring either or both my HHKB and Nerd 60

Sweeeet!
I can show off the home-made front legends on my GMK-TA'd FC660M, and maybe more interestingly, my V80-MTS-C. Can also bring Matias QuietPro if anyone's interested.

I saw that the other day it looks fantastic - would love to see them in person!
I've been wanting to trying Matias for a while 

[Fire Brand]

I will try to look into what it cost to come down but I might have to miss it although I super would love to come :X

[joey]

I'll probably bring my HHKB, and my own PCB design :O

Two person south west meetup

I've just checked trains and it's £85 in exchange for at least 8 hours of my life plus 4-6 possible delay causing changes from here to Brighton and back, not great.  No way I'm driving that far either, especially on my own...  Might you be interested in a roadtrip?

Are the quiet switches of particular interest? I only ask because the fullsize QuietPro is a bit of a stretch to fit in a backpack, but I'm happy to bring it if there's interest.

While it would be great to get everyone in the same place I understand how much of a hassle this might be - we could always do a meetup in the midlands area on the following day if people are interested

We're complete pains though, nowhere near either proposed meet.  Birmingham is only 4 hours return on a direct train, but move it a little further north to Manchester and it's back to 8 hours and probably a change each way

It's not a LOT of effort, I'm just being lazy. If you want to try it I'll suffer thru a half-day of wonky-backpack-carrying ;-)
Actually, I have some extra quiet switches, so I could chuck them in the F-row of the V80 for the day - best of both, no?

Edit:  what about Zealios? Does anybody have a few already? I bet Zeal could hook us up with a few, if somebody's got the time, talent, and technology to mount them into a keyboard or tester for us to have push n prod at.

Only if you feel like bringing it 

I think I've only seen US reviewers with the zealios but it would be pretty cool to check them out if anybody has them

[swimmingbird]

Ok guys - quick update - looks like we are set to go on Saturday the 24th of October in Brighton

Right now I have myself, baldgye and bunny attending - please post if you feel like coming so we can get an idea of numbers

We are thinking of starting a bit earlier in the day (maybe 11 or midday) and seeing where it goes from there

[joey]

Any comments on the location/plans?

Shame my gf has to work that day, so I'll be coming alone.

Not sure just yet but I imagine we will make our way to a pub for some grub at some point

[BunnyLake]

i have some good ideas for locations to meet and go to etc, however i think i mentioned depending on the numbers my thoughts would change, so once we have a close to final number in place, i can give some options

any objections if this is posted on DT and r/mk?

any objections if this is posted on DT and r/mk?

Was thinking that this would be more of a GH thing because members tend to know each other here and because I was hoping for more of a meetup rather than an event where everyone puts down 5 keyboards on a trestle table

This is everyone's event though so I'd like to hear other people's opinions on the matter
