Postponement[edit]

Hi All.

I notice that this weekend isn't very popular. Only two people have signed up, and one of those has suggested he won't come if there is only two people.

Can I suggest moving the event to Saturday the 12th of September? I'm very busy over the next few weeks... but the 12th looks like it will be free.

Support: Its a better idea to shift meetups out of August- as this happens every year. As October will be Liverpool- it will be December before we can get together. My September is however rather full- I will be up in Preston? on the 19th possibly doing two edit-a-thons (all invited when I have the details)- then again on the 26th in Clitheroe Castle. In between I have a daughter who is moving- and tenants moving in. I am doing a lot of svgs while I am allegedly relaxing. More on sundials. I came to France for a rest. --ClemRutter (talk) 11:54, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Moving the event sounds sensible. I'm free on the 12th September. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Correction, I can't do the 12th, sorry - it's heritage open day that weekend. I might be able to do the 19th, but the 26th or 27th would be preferable. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely can't do 19th, 26th or 27th. But that isn't to say others can't meet then. If @RexxS: or @Bazonka: had an opinion on this, it might help us fix a date. In the meantime, shall we mark this meet-up as cancelled? Only two days to go! Yaris678 (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well... there appears to be three people expressing an interest now, so maybe it should go ahead tomorrow. It isn't my place to say otherwise. Yaris678 (talk) 11:23, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@RexxS: @JamesBWatson: are you planning on coming? If so, I'll be there; otherwise let's declare this cancelled. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 10:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have stopped by anyway for the next ~20 mins or so: if anyone else does happen to be here, I'm in the usual area at the back of the pub. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:18, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The cup of tea was nice. I managed to spend time working on User:Mike_Peel/Wikimeet_survey, which is hopefully now ready to run. But as no-one else is here, I'll head home now! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:55, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I was away so I wasn't able to look into rescheduling this. Hopefully we can get some more people to Liverpool next month and then a nice big meetup in Manchester in October. Bazonka (talk) 17:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
