{{meetup}}
Planning for a meetup in Manchester.
- When? Saturday 4 April, 1:00pm (although some people will be turning up at 12-ish)
- Where? [http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/pubs/pub-details.php?PubNumber=192 The Manchester & County]
- Who? See below for a list of likely attendees.
I think Kro is more expensive. I really think Wetherspoons would be better. I hear it was a bit noisy last time, but it's normally a very good place. --Deskana (talk) 16:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
:Shall we hold a vote? Majorly talk 17:27, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
::But... but... voting is evil!!!two1 --Deskana (talk) 12:59, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
:::I'd be fine with a vote. Luckily real life doesn't have the same rules as WP, or making law would be much more difficult. Picture the scene: parliament is in session, debating a new bill and an MP walks over, scribbles a paragraph out and the rest of the discussion is on whether he should have scribbled said para out rather than the bill itself.
