We are not planning to go as a group to the Regal pub in advance as has often been the case in previous years. If you must go somewhere first, please go somewhere better: the Haymakers is just around the corner, for example!
1. Covid safety
As we're going to have a lot of people travelling from all over and sharing space, there is a heightened risk here. Consider the safety of yourself and others: please make sure you have a negative LFT before you arrive, and apply common sense in general. If you're feeling ill, don't mingle closely with others, and we will have some tests available.
But you know this already...
2. People
The following people have expressed interest in attending the party in Cambridge @ Steve and Jo McIntyre's house on the 24th to 26th of August (Saturday 2024-08-24 → Monday 2024-08-26):

3. Crash Space
Insert something cunning to ensure everyone has a bed here. Try this... mail the person listed and ask if you can crash. Then update the page appropriately.

Takers |
A new station, Cambridge North, was built especially for events at Steve's house in May 2017. It is a 15 minute walk from the BBQ. Rumours that the track was originally laid in Debian swirls are entirely unfounded.
5. Cakes
We may persuade people to bake... 
6. Bread
There is also a chance that fresh bread might be made.
7. Schedule
Vague schedule idea based on previous years:
- Meet up at 87KW (Steve and Jo's) house about four o'clock on Saturday.
- Supermarket trip (6pm-ish), barbeque and inebriation (all damned night)
- Dispersal to sleeping locations and sleep, then up at the crack of noon for a full cooked breakfast
- Rinse and repeat
- Keysigning sometime / any time over the weekend
8. Beer + Food
We're hoping we may get some lovely people to sponsor supplies for the weekend.
Please let Steve know if you'd like to help!
9. Location
87, Kendal Way, Cambridge CB4 1LP. OpenStreetMap thinks that it is here.
10. Keysigning
There will probably be some impromptu key signing...
