Possible mini-convention/group get together.
How I would have loved to - but I'm away on a Natural History Society weekend. I'm sure you'll get a good few interested Simon. Someone eat my share of the buffet, please!
OIY!Have you booked the room for me and Dave yet????
You know I'm gonna be there. :D
I may be able to come - am thinking of visiting some time in June but not sure of dates yet.
I had to look up where Biggleswade is and it doesn't look like too much of a drive.I'd be happy to give a talk from an author's perspective if you wanted.
I will book your room Patti if or when I commit us - Friday.
Currently serving Hopback Taiphoon at the bar :http://www.hopback.co.uk/beer-shop/ta...
I only tasted it to make sure it was up to standard you understand
And I'll take Ignite's portion of the buffet :-)
Oh please book the room.Dave and I are coming either way. He's gotta see his parents.
Oh do please come Jud! And you can cancel the history society Ignite!
Yay! We've got our first author!
I can't, my mum and dad are over that weekend for a visit :o(
And it's my mums birthday that weekend so would be too rude to abandon them
Biggleswade?Isn't that a place in Rosen's Troll Trap books?
Natural History - rooms booked at Bakewell - no comments please - already.
You'd better - or I'll get my buffet back even if I have to stick me fingers down your throat!
Would love to come, but I'm working ;(

It does, Patti. Would've loved to see the gang. Hope you take plenty of pics though :)
Try and trade shifts with someone? Please????
I appear to have a free day in my diary.
I'm in London the following weekend so bad timing for me :(

Give them your puppy dog eyes Andy. :)
I really want to go :o(Maybe us Scottish delegates should have our own more local gathering?
I'm working on the 23rd anyway even if I could afford to come for a weekend
I've got the room from 4pm to 7pm so it is really more of an early evening/late afternoon thing.I need to attract around 30 people to make this viable I think.....
Still looking for event ideas or we will all just have to stand at the bar.....

Didn't say what I was going to do with it, did I??
I would certainly try to make it for the day part, but would have to leave early evening.
That bar might fall over if there is no one to hold it up Simon! You of all people should know that is an important job so don't knock it.
Yay Tim and Darren!Event idea...we can have really serious and highbrow conversations about literature as we do in Skype.

Don't make me slap you.
I know this site, and the people on it, and it's just an excuse for a boozy free for all! :)

You took the words right out of my mouth Rosemary, exactly what I was thinking as I read this.
Well if I do come I may be bringing one or two others with me.
I can't make it ): Brother's birthday party!
Cannot tell you how much I really wanna come. I will have to be a maybe for now as it is my Dads 60th (plus anniversary of my Aunts Death). We are going up to London for brunch at some restaurant on the 40 something floor of somewhere (can you tell I actually have no clue where???) but not sure what, if anything, is planned for the rest of the day (he doesn't want to celebrate it, and hasn't wanted to celebrate his birthday at all since his sisters death on that day!)
I reckon I may be able to swing it but can't confirm anything yet, sorry!

Oi! Put your glasses on Sarah :o)
I think Pat and Sarah have switched their glasses with one another Jud.
Said that without opening my mouth!Sadly I really can't make this either :( but I'm sure it'll be great. Totally up for another one further north though

I think too many glasses may have been the problem Jud!
I have been offered a meeting room at The Stratton House Hotel in Biggleswade on the afternoon of Saturday 22nd June.
I need to confirm if I want it by this Friday.
So, I was wondering who would be interested in a little Goodreads meeting and suggestions about what we could do.
I was thinking of getting a volunteer from a couple of authors to talk about their work and the challenge of promoting themselves in the Kindle world.
I would ramble on about the future of ebooks and I might be able to get a traditional publisher to come along and tell us how eBooks are affecting them.
So, any suggestions, would you be likely to come along and volunteers please!
I will make a decision whether to confirm the booking on Friday
Oh, also, would you want tea and biscuits or a buffet? I have had a meeting buffet there - very nice indeed!
