I think someone tried to organise a UK meetup a while back. Not sure if it went anywhere, but I don't recall seeing any pictures, so maybe not.
I'd be up for it
I would love to but BUT that weekend I have plans with people :c and London would be too far for me anywhere it would need to be like the midlands for me to make it :/ I think bunny was wanting to do a meet up but I don't think anything happened of it as that was listed for August :X
im happy to host one in brighton at any time
But yeah I'm down for anything in the Midlands as I'm in Brum City Center, still need to go for a drink with Katty actually..

It would be great to get everyone in the same place but it seems like people in the midlands can't really make it down south.... not sure what to do... midlands meetup and then south meetup?

But yeah as with what foxer said something slightly further north than London would be a lot better.
I'm up for a trip to Brighton, given enough advance notice.
When's the baby due? Maybe we should wait until Bunny's had a chance to re-learn the art of sleeping.
ill even bring goodies for everyone
I'm going to have to work out when I'm available but I'm down for that
what sort of hours are we thinking? Day trip or overnight?

I was thinking to go down Saturday morning and stop over the Saturday night in a hotel or something, but I don't know the area
I can't do the 24th (that weekend) as turns out I've got family stuff going on, but the following weekend is good for me... if that, helps? lol

haha typical! alright let me try and figure some **** out when I'm not at work :P
(but it's not a pre-requisite that I come, I'd like like too :thumb: )
Actually Bunny you would probably know best on what the best spot would be considering you live there
Actually Bunny you would probably know best on what the best spot would be considering you live there
location is easy but it would be sorta number dependent on where i would suggest, so get that kinda thing locked in, and i can work it out from there
once we have some people locked, perhaps start a skype group chat or something, as im rubbish at checking the forum
Alright I'll set the 24th in Brighton as the tentative date for now
I'll post a google form in a second so we can get an idea of numbers and so forth
I find it funny that an Aussie is organising the UK meetup :P
I might be able to come, I would probably drive down, but it's quite a way.

Mmmm... Still like three changes as you gotta go through London too D:
I'm kinda interested but I'm in the south west so as expected, nowhere near anyone else.Two person south west meetup
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...
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've been wanting to trying Matias for a while :)

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 :(

If it's a lot of effort to bring don't worry about it

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.
Any comments on the location/plans?
Shame my gf has to work that day, so I'll be coming alone.

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

anything i can do to help facilitate you getting here etc please let me know
and if anyone has anything they wanna see or try, post it here or send me a pm, i either have, or have access to a ton of keyboard stuff, so should be able to meet most requests

Thought I'd bump this, just to see if we're all still up for this.
do we have a venue and/or meeting time set yet? I'd like to book my train tickets sooner rather than later.
On that note too Good luck bunny and Mrs Bunny!do we have a venue and/or meeting time set yet? I'd like to book my train tickets sooner rather than later.
Sorry for the slow reply
At this stage I'm not sure if I'm going to make it down this weekend as it's my last w/e before I fly back to Australia and the project I'm on might need me to stay here (in Milan) - I should know by the end of tomorrow though and will let you know
Bunny's wife is having the baby today as well so I'm not sure how good a time Saturday would be
I'm still keen but obviously it's bad timing for Bunnylake. I'm happy to reschedule. Either way.

I'm still really keen to meetup with you guys (and gals)
I'm going to be in the UK from around the 18th of December through to the 26th or so - might not be the best time being the holidays and all but maybe I'll post something in the lead up to that time and see if anyone is interested in doing another (possibly 2nd) meetup

I should be in my new house by then so there should be a sofa bed for you to sleep on in our house by then :P

Just a reminder to anyone who thinks that this is still on tomorrow, that the meetup has been suspended for the time being
yeah sorry, this month is a bit mental and with Bunny becoming a father and his wife needing time to recover it's probably for the best!

I mentioned it a bit earlier but I'm going to be in the UK around Christmas time for a week or so - I know it's a hectic time but maybe we could do something then

Still there are a few people that are kinda toxic there - I doubt those would be the type to show up to a meetup anyway though
Is this going to happen in December?
I'm from the UK, but live in Hong Kong now.
Will be back to the UK around Christmas for 2-4 weeks.
Would love to meet more experienced GeekHackers as I'm still fairly new to the whole keyboard hacking scene.
im interested but london is a major trip for me. birmingham is much better and manchester is fantastic :D

I'm going to be in London from the 19th through to the 27th
If people are still interested I am down for a meetup

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
