definitely not going to make it today. had to delay moving in til about 7/8 tonight

civis_liberalis · 05-09-2010 08:30PM

Called down a few hours ago but everyone must have been gone at that stage.

lostboy75 · 06-09-2010 01:29PM

was down for about 2 hours, 4-6ish,
place was very busy, joined a few people playing MW2 lan, was good fun,
i normally go during the week, 8-10 or so, and its always quite, was first time there on the weekend, (normally weekends dont suit me)
anyone on for this wednesday evening?

Asmodean · 08-09-2010 12:38PM

Hey guys sorry I've been fairly quiet as of late. I'm around this evening, say 5-6ish for a bit of a session. I won't be around for very long though because I'm up at 6 tomorrow morning for work. Probably be in for about 2 hours or so ( I think thats whats left on my card!) To avoid missing people when we get in there I was thinking that anyone who is interested could meet up at a close location such as the square and pop in then? From past experience it can be a bit intimidating for newcomers to head downstairs and not have a clue who anyone is! lol

RolandIRL · 09-09-2010 02:49PM

popped in yesterday at about 4.30 but there was no one else there so just left again. first time i've been in [ii] and it's an impressive set up. how broke is everyone, or can ye spend a few bob again? i'm not going to be around this weekend, but someone mentioned something about a mid-week game...?

Asmodean · 13-09-2010 02:10PM

Hey everyone. posted up some info on the group facebook page about arranging something for the weekend.

Asmodean · 14-09-2010 02:15AM

Personally I'm flexible time-wise so I'll open up the floor for discussion as to what suits people!

RolandIRL · 17-09-2010 04:52PM

okay, so no one has said a time that doesn't suit, so shall we just meet outside [ii] around 2pm? if it doesn't suit, let us know
