Cool, let us know if you get something organised for Cheltenham as I might be able to make it over from Brum.

As far as our next meet-up around here goes, there was talk of doing something for the Superbowl, and/or as Lewi suggested what about drinks sometime sooner than that? I feel bad that some people missed out on the last one, so am a bit apprehensive about fixing another time/date - I'll leave that to someone else this time around :)

Jess and I were thinking of meeting up here on the evening of the 4th if anyone's interested? http://www.emberinns.co.uk/thesellyparktavernsellyoak/

How about 8pm right near the front door? Will update on recognisable articles of clothing soon... ha.

I am up for any sort of meeting. I don't think there was a problem with the timing or place of the last attempt, just the fact that Americans apparently do not stand out that great in the middle of a german market.

I would come down to Selly Oak on the 4th. It is on the same line as Sutton Coldfield so it would be a straight shot. I would also come down to Cheltenham just to get out. So count me in for both, as long as it is on the weekend.

Hopefully this time around we all have a little better luck and maybe some descriptions.

Hey all sorry for late notice but tonight doesn't look like it's going to work out unfortunately. I am not sure if anyone else was actually planning on going but I hope you get this in time!

Sorry everyone! Next weekend same time and place. And no cancellations, I promise!

Sorry I missed the event on 4/12.  I only live in Harborne so I could have popped in...serves me right for not looking on the boards for months on end!  How did it go?

Incidentally, if anyone wants to meet up soon, and if you also happen to want to find out about Birmingham's premier softball club, come down to the Birmingham Bobcats' AGM on 19 Feb at the Old House & Home on Lordswood Road in Harborne.  (Ok sorry about the shameless plug, but we're having a big recruiting drive this year).

Any other meetups on the horizon?

I am still willing to meet up the 23rd of this month at the Starbucks in Cheltenham (1 Promenade, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL50 1LN) but only if more than one person shows interest, seeing as no one has yet. I still don't have a job as of yet, so I can't do much more than meet up to chat. If anyone can on this day please let me know asap. If not I will cancel. Thanks!  ;)
