It’s been discussed a bit at SFC, but we’re still deciding on the details for the next meet up in September.

Plan is for it to be another Northern meet – probably at The Ship & Mitre in Liverpool if we don’t decide on a different venue beforehand. As for dates, the 4th and 11th of September are the pair of jokers we seem to be deciding between.

Although I still need to sort out overnight accomodation for myself (which I can’t do until we’ve confirmed a venue), I am planning on driving up to the meet, so any Southern members who are interested in coming along and are prepared to spend a few hours in a car with a “P” plate may want to get in touch (i.e. reply to this post).

Great – I try to plan this weeks in advance, and have only just found out that tomorrow’s meet is on the same day as an England world cup match, so it’s highly likely that the Willow Walk will become very busy during the evening.

Current plan is that we’re still going to meet up at the Willow Walk (I’m going to aim to be there from around 1-2pm), but chances are we’ll be relocating once things get particularly busy. Best advice is to arrive early to avoid missing us.

Well people… the Willow Walk pub, Victoria, London, from 1pm onwards on Sunday, 3rd January. Try and make it if at all possible for you, as it shall be my last meeting…well, at least for a few years or so.

I hope to see you there!

Just a quick update on the next meet-up details…

- Found a better page for the pub details: http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/pubs/pub-details.php?PubNumber=1169 (it’s “official page);
- According to this page, the pub is open until 11:30 pm on Sunday, by which time we’d probably all be ready to go home anyway. I’m still going to maintain the suggestion of starting a bit earlier, if anything for the sake of any of you people with work to do the following morning!

Hi all,

Looks like we’ve pretty much settled on a date for the meet next monh, so I’m putting forth that the next Shining Only UK meet will be on Sunday January 3rd at The Willow Walk, London (i.e. the same place as previous London meets, more info here: http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/48/489/Willow_Walk/Victoria).

I’ll take this opportunity to add that, as stated in previous posts, this will also be a send-off bash for Alpha before he moves overseas, and a thanks for the work he’s done to set up this site and help getting the meets started and arranged.

As it’s a Sunday, and I’m not entirely sure how long they’re open until on Sundays, I’m going to suggest we start the meet-up from around 1-2pm in case we have to leave earlier than usual (from my experience Wetherspoons are open for a while into Sunday evenings, but I’ve never been there long enough to know their Sunday quitting times). Of course, don’t feel obliged to be there that early feel – free to turn up at whatever time’s convenient for you!

Hi all,

I know this is fairly close to the time, but due to some folks’s unavailability and/or fund issues, it’s pretty much gone down that the Christmas meet (planned for either the 5th or 12th of December) won’t be happening as planned.

Rather than hold it early in December, we’re going to be pushing it back to the start of January, either on Sunday the 3rd or Saturday the 9th of January; I’m already aware that some people – myself inluded – may have problems with one or the other of these dates, but we want to get a meet in that Alpha can attend before he moves abroad, and these seem to be the only viable dates before then.

A good (GMT) evening to all! I proudly present the Shining Only UK website to you, now as a subdomain of Shining Force Central itself! The move was swift thanks to the beauty of WordPress. In addition to this, Swalchy has been working for hours (with me offering criticisms and design ideas) coding the new theme that you can see.

A big thanks therefore to Moogie, for the use of some of her webspace and art skills (the head banner was done by her), and to Swalchy for his PHP, XHTML & CSS work. That’s all for now, stay tuned!

G’day all! I have inserted the photos from the last meeting into the Media page. I have also put the provisional details for the next meeting into the Meetings page.

Now I must continue to work on the new layout design. That’s all for now!

Search bar and the option to register have been added. The former will in all likelihood become more useful once more stuff is up. The latter will allow anybody interested to in essence, subscribe and be informed whenever new content is up.

I’m also currently working on the design for the site. Once that’s done, Swalch can get some coding done and we’ll have a makeover. That’s all for now!
