You don't happen to have contacts in the Edinburgh Hodge Institute?

I'm currently applying for math PhDs.

Heh.. I recognise one of the guys in their slideshow, but he's an Oxford contact who's now in the US, so I've no idea why he's pictured there :-P My academic contacts are mostly in the School of Informatics, since that's closer to the field I did my doctorate in.

So, the Christmas lull is a good time to make plans for the following summer, right?

[ipofanes]

I'd actually like to take another Europe trip...

Glad you liked it last time.

[Calamitas]

Might be available in late july or early august. Depends though since I graduate from highschool this summer and will start going to university in autumn.

When does your university term start? Over here, it's usually the start of October, meaning that mid-September is a really good time for students to travel, because the prices drop considerably compared to full summer, when all the families with kids want to get away.

Starts oktober as well, so early september is probably fine :-)

Late July/early August would be great for me since I'd have another excuse to travel to Germany around that time. Although my availability shouldn't probably determine when the meetup is, since I'm very unsure if I'll be there anyway.

[LaLight]

I finally got an English Visa! If someone will be there like 23.01-03.02, i'd meet

[Calamitas]

Does anyone have an idea about the "Where"
I personally could participate everywhere in Germany and maybe in England. But the latter is significantly less likely.

Deciding on a format (i.e. length of time and approximate budget) would be a good start. Like, if we're meeting for a day somewhere in Germany, that probably works well for you, faust and silver, but it would be a long trip for such a short time for people like me.

If we're meeting for a long weekend (or possibly for a full week?) with boardgames and Mafia and stuff, then cost of accommodation starts to become the dominant factor, but if there are 8 or us or something, I expect we could find something decent for under 20 euros per person per night, if we're all happy self-catering and sharing a place. With budget flights or cheap advanced train fares, travel across Europe can often be pretty cheap.

The other option is to have someone to host it at their home. I have my house, but it's very small -- it's quite crowded even with just LL & Fargo staying at the moment (plus me and my lodger), and there's only really space for one more person if they're sharing my bedroom! I also definitely want to have a bed to sleep on, rather than just a floor or air mattress, in case I get back pain again.

What sort of things are the rest of you thinking of?

[Calamitas]

I was thinking in the scale of a long weekend  :-)

[silverspawn]

If we want to organize this, we'd probably need someone creating a bunch of polls.

[Calamitas]

Let's make a list with all people who have expressed interest already

- Space (likely to come)
- Faust (likely)
- Calamitas (rather likely)
- Silverspawn (?)
- Joseph (?)
- Eevee (?)
- Haddock (?)
- Fargo (?)
- LaLight (rather unlikely)
- Awaclus (rather unlikely)
- GKrieg (unlikely)

Did I forget someone?

Thing is: I thiiink I am rather unlikely. Going to Amsterdam in summer and considering going to German on my way there. This will all depend on my gf and amount of money I will have.

Eevee? I'd really love to meet Eevee! :-)

I'd also love to meet gkrieg... how do we persuade him that a Europe trip would be the best possible use of his time and money after all?

Well, the only chance is if I will manage something like a week in Amsterdam/a week in Germany. We don't have the place yet, do we?

Well, we know it's going to take place in Europe :-D

I mean, Haddock is also here in Oxford, and it would be great to include him too... but he's also super-busy, so I'm not sure he's able. Has he even seen this thread yet? I forget!

LL, Fargo and I did just meet up with Joseph a few hours ago in London :-)

Will add them with question marks

That sounds great. You'd better start practicing on people nearby first, though ;-)

Fargo was talking about wanting to visit Amsterdam with her friend Zigaton. Maybe if we hire a house near Amsterdam, then we'll be able to accommodate everyone in a cost-effective way, and then Fargo and Zigaton would have each other to talk to when everyone else is too obsessed with Mafia. Though money is especially tricky for the Russians, because their currency seems to be doing even worse than the pound right now.

I wish I could!  Unfortunately, I don't think my wife would be very fond of meeting up with people to play social deduction games .  Although I might be able to convince her (she hasn't seen many partsany of Europe, just Paris). 

[Eevee]

This sounds very fun, I'm definitely interested!

Doesn't matter to me at all which country it would happen in, it's all the same coming from here.
