Any UK Members here? Oxford Get-Together being organised

Hi fellow users of Buzztouch, You may know that I have been organising meetups in Oxford since September. This will be the first one of 2013, and only the fourth one of all. I have all the others very enjoyable. Hopefully I'll gather together a few more people because numbers are low currently. If you can make it, please do make a special effort because it'll make the meetup even better! Everyone is welcome: member or non-member, or just someone is interested in app development and can benefit from Buzztouch. So I have a few dates for you to decide for our next meeting. There's a doodle link below, and I would prefer it if you used that, but you can also just reply to this thread as well. Doodle Poll: http://doodle.com/nnqy7mzri8r2efca Here are the available dates anyway: - Monday 18th February - 16:00 - Tuesday 19th February - 16:00 - Wednesday 20th February - 16:00 - Monday 25th February - 16:00 - Tuesday 26th February - 16:00 - Wednesday 27th February - 16:00 Also, if you're somewhere else in the world, I can invite a few on a Google Hangouts event, or you can watch it as a live stream off YouTube. If you want to view recordings of our old meetups, and find out more, please visit this site I've made: http://www.buzztouchoxford.com"

I would really like to come, but I live in London and don't drive, Oxford is a bit far.

I would love it if you came, but no worries if you can't. If you're really passionate, a train ride from Paddington takes an hour and if you go off-peak, it can be incredibly cheap. I always go to London when off-peak because the prices just drop to a fraction. For me, and off-peak return from Oxford to London is £13. Or £5 return on the Oxford Tube coach. I do understand if it's just a bit too much to get here. It would take an afternoon. And I do understand how that can be difficult.

Thanks for the invitation, @Annandale but I'm too far away and I have to get the kids from school at 3.30 so cannot attend. The life of a stay-at-home-dad-come-app-developer, eh? Thanks for thinking of me.

Friday is actually a bit difficult for me. It would have to be after 5pm. Are you in Oxford any other time?

@ Dragon, you can select more than one. Do you have any other available dates that you can attend? I'm just asking because another person says they can do all the day expect the one Tuesday 26th

@LevensGardener If you're in Oxford tomorrow, I'll happily meet with you in Costa or something. I think it'll be great to meet because I see you're based up in the Lake District. I've got a busy day tomorrow, but I'm free and away from all the stuff after 5pm. I don't know how long you're in Oxford, but I'll happily go for a coffee after 5. Please give me a text, 07531 425 517 Thomas Boyd Annandale Apps

I'm afraid the day I selected was my only available date, but I was unaware that I could select more than one option.

A bit too far south for me, but if there's ever one in Scotland I'd be on for coming along!

Well funnily enough, I'm probably going to get a group going in Edinburgh. I'm up there twice a year and next time I'm there, I'll happily get a group together.

Sounds great, not too sure if there's many other buzztouch folk in Edinburgh but it'd be interesting to see! Let me know when you're up again and hopefully we can get a group together!

The decision poll has now ended and I have picked a date and time. I was meant to tell you this one week ago, so I do apologise if this is late notice.
