There are lots of active people from the UK, but all but a couple of them are on the CA Slack and we talk often... Me, bunny, tym, theogbro, photekq, firebrand, joey, baldgye, katushkin, iri, maybe liocer. That's everyone I know in the UK.

Would you guys like to join the facebook group? How can I join the Slack channel?

It's cool to know that many veterans here are actually from the UK :)

I feel like there won't be one unless bunnylake can make it because he pulls us all together tbh, but he's been so busy with everything so doubtful, it's why it's never been brought up

I joined it :) Now just to get approval :/

Just an update, we've got awesome new members on our facebook page joining in. David at MechboardsUK, James from PEXON, and Joe from UKKeycaps and MechSupply. I'll post a separate post on GH soon to get more visibility.

It's ahappening! Raffles and giveaways and whatnot too!

I really do hope that people over in the Slack channel can come. We've never really had a meetup recently. Xondat, could you inform them if you get in contact with any of them? :)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

An Update:

We have decide to have the meetup in December, and possibly have another one in Januar since some can't make it to December. We are still trying to look for a good location in London to hold it, so any suggestions would be great!  :D Around 35 people from our facebook group have confirmed to be going. I'm crossing my fingers andf hoping it'll be in a free venue!

Well, London is much better than Brighton.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

It's another newly created one, we wanted to make one that crossed the "borders" of the online mech communities.

Ah OK. What's the name of it?

I'm up for London, but Brighton adds four hours to a train journey which is pretty insane, so I think I would have to draw that line if it comes to it.

Hey guys, an update! We seem to have found several possible venues so we have backups in case the one we want is too busy. The main venue for now is going to be St. Lukes Community Centre. This is not a private meetup, just to let you know. We are currently holding a poll on our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1028791307238170/), where we are deciding between either Sunday the 4th or Saturday the 3rd of December. If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to PM me! I'm a mod over at the Facebook page too, so I can add you if you join. We are a friendly bunch, we don't bit  :p

As in, the location is not in a private room and we might have general members of public around. That said, we are planning to keep a close eye on things so nothing goes wrong. Since it's a free/unpaid space... However the mod who found the venue told us it is a lot less busy on Sundays, which is why I voted Sunday (and also I'm busy on Saturday). I'm also a mod on the facebook page, so if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to run it through me!

Sure, I'll probably come and bring some of my creations, only a train journey away. When will the date be finalized? I also requested to join the group.
