Yes, we're closing rapidly on it: the London 2014 Gathering is only a week away. So this is your final reminder and information post.
WHEN: Saturday 16th August 2014, 12 noon (though at least a few people will probably be there early). We'll be spending 3-4 hours wandering around, so that we can all get back on the trains in time to avoid the post-football, post-work rush.
WHERE: The British Museum. The meeting place is the first column on the left of the main steps. You can walk to the Museum from pretty much any Underground line.
WHO: Anyone and everyone! We have about half a dozen people who've said they're going, but any member of the PPC community is welcome. It doesn't matter if you've been here eleven years (as Kaitlyn has) or eleven days - you're invited. (And yes, you can bring parents along if that's an issue for you - we've had a few very helpful parental tagalongs in the past)
WHAT you should bring: The British Museum is free entry, but if you want anything from the shops, they (obviously) cost money. Since we're meeting around lunchtime, you're probably best to bring a packed lunch or eat on the way - the Museum has a couple of cafes, with one being a sandwich shop, but they're liable to be busy. Finding a spot to eat is as simple as choosing a corner of the floor. You should bring a camera if you have one, since there's usually lots of photo opportunities. We may also end up wandering down to the markets in Covent Garden, so again, if you want to buy anything, bring cash. Ehm... the weather report, for what it's worth, suggests it won't be raining, so that's nice.
WHY: Because it's fun! Past Gatherings have led to mass impressions of Gandalf, Mary-Sue spotting, wielding actual swords, locating missing Flowers, turning geese into Intel agents... and hours and hours of talk among people who have at least one very strange interest in common.
And... I think that's it! See you all there!
