Just heard about ur meet, wish i could come, maybe next time, sounds fab and i hope you all have a great time! enjoy! oh and bring back PICS GALORE PLS!

Do lurkers still exist in this day and age, or is the concept gone the way of the Dodo?

Anyway... assuming they do, and you're one, and you're game for it - just turn up[1]. You know where the meet is and we're all far more likely to be amazed at your audacity[2] than annoyed at your presumption. Take it from me - I've seen it done and it's a really great way to get onto a board, gatecrashing a meet like this before you even post. You're obliged only to make a report here afterwards so we can exchange compliments.

[1]... but note that this is at the "Toad at the Bullring" Pub in Birmingham England, NOT at the "Toad at the Bullring" Pub in Birmingham Alabama. If a bunch of you turn up at the wrong venue, post a separate meet report, that's almost as good as making it to the original!

[2]... of course I may be entirely wrong about this, I'm only speaking for myself here.

Well, I came on to say that I've sent a map to anyone that may need it, but I'm sitting here laughing arse off now!

I suppose a nice splashing would be out of the question?

Oh please, I wouldn't be remotely winded.

No

More or less minimizing any presumptions of imposition.
