August Bank holiday weekend will see yet another Ipswich (and environs) afpmeet. The plan is to start on the Saturday (29th August) with a visit to the Sauna/Jacuzzi place in Colchester (2pm-6pm ish). Then spend the evening in the Fat Cat pub in Ipswich. Anyone who wants to can hang around for the Sunday (30th August) too, which will involve an early visit to the Fat Cat, followed by a picnic (with shopping stop en route) in Rendlesham Forrest, followed by a trip to the Folk Night at the Butley Oyster (where singing and drinking will happen, although probably not in that order). Monday (31st August) will be available for recovering in. We have enough floor space to cope with a fair number of afpers and I'm sure that there are other local afpers who could accomodate a few more folks if needed. Please let me know if you'll be coming.

The plan was to start on the Saturday (29th August) with a visit to the Sauna/Jacuzzi place in Colchester (2pm-6pm ish). Then spend the evening in the Fat Cat pub in Ipswich. However, certain people seem to like the idea of a brewery tour - the Tolly Cobbold brewery tour starts at Noon so this could be combined with the sauna/jacuzzi trip or substituted for it. The tour takes about 90 minutes which would make it possible to get to the Saunas for 3pm and still have a couple of drinks first. This gives us the possibility of a Friday night start - which means that now might be a good time to suggest the vodka bar down at the docks (which also does beer - in fact it's a tolly pub so it's good practise for the brewery tour) Anyone who wants to can hang around for the Sunday (30th August) too, which will involve an early visit to the Fat Cat, followed by a picnic (with shopping stop en route) in Rendlesham Forrest, followed by a trip to the Folk Night at the Butley Oyster (where singing and drinking will happen, although probably not in that order). Monday (31st August) will be available for recovering in - and could be stretched to include a nice little jaunt down to felixstowe, where crazy golf could be arranged as well a visit to the fine second hand bookshop which I'm sure has it's links to lspace. We have enough floor space to cope with a fair number of afpers and I'm sure that there are other local afpers who could accomodate a few more folks if needed. Please let me know if you'll be coming and if so, when you'll be coming. You are of course welcome to come along for as much or as little of the weekend as you like.

From: carol@lspace.org (Carol) Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett.announce,alt.fan.pratchett,alt.books.pratchett Subject: [ANNOUNCE][F] Ipswich Meet - 28-30th August Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1998 23:53:23 +0100 Message-ID: <487A56E501%afpa-mod@lspace.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Ok guys, this is your final reminder..... Next weekend (bank holiday weekend) is the date of the next Ipswich (and environs) afpmeet. Anyone interested is welcome to join us from Friday night (we'll either be home at Spring Roll or just up the road in the Fat Cat - email me for full details) or at any stage over the weekend. On saturday we shall attempt to prove that myself and the plumbing can indeed organdise a piss-up in a brewery by taking all who are interested on a guided tour of Tolly Cobbold - the tour starts at noon from the Brewery Tap and is less than a fiver per person - it's a victorian style tower brewery so be prepared for lots of stairs if you decide to join us. After that we will almost certainly need to drink some real ale. Next the option is to drink more real ale or do something else (saunaing in Colchester is a possibility if people bring swimwear and are so inclined). The evening sees the afp-meet 'proper' when we all wander off to the Fat Cat to try yet more of the selection of 16 or so real ales available (and real ciders too). Conversations will probably happen too, and I fully expect a fair number of fines to be paid - hopefully without being consumed this time :-) When we've all had enough we will stop for the night and try sleeping for a while instead (floor space is still available if anyone wants....) On sunday there is the option of joining the local pagan crowd for a picnic in the woods (Rendlesham Forrest actually) or lazing around drinking more beer and having more conversation or visiting Felixstowe to check out the second hand book shop and possibly playing crazy golf/table hockey/crocodile bonking. The evening however will almost certainly see a treck out to Butley for the Folk Night at the Oyster; singing along is almost compulsory although other talents can be displayed if prefered (I usually opt for story-telling as I'm better at that). After this more sleep could happen. On Monday we can if so desired cover any of the previously mentioned options that were not already covered (except for the Folk Night cos that's only on Sundays) If you want to know anymore email me (Carol@lspace.org) or the plumbing (tap@lspace.org) or both if you're really keen, and we'll try and sort out any queries...
