Hi Kerry

It seems like the best date is Sunday 21 October (sorry, Aaron),
commencing 10am.

That sounds good for me. It should give me a nice break from thesis
writing (which is why I've been so quiet for a while) and will probably
be my last meet before I head over to yonder UK to live for a while.

If you need transport and/or can offer a lift, please let me know so I
can coordinate this.

As usual I will need transport (still in New Farm). I really must learn
to drive one day.

I claim the host's privilege of declaring the theme to be "Mostly
Medieval", reflecting my recent enthuasiasm for castles.

Obviously, this will please the CastleHeads (turrets?) among you, and
we'll be expecting a strong showing from the Tim Gould's of this world!
I'm sure you Townies will be able to contribute some of your less
contemporary structures.

Ah! Now I've been thrown into it. What to build? Most of my castle wall
pieces have been used recently for brickwars structures (like huts and
stuff) and I've been extremely lazy about building. I'll have to get
cracking now.

For you TechnicsNuts and SpaceCadets and so forth, do not despair! Here
is a chance to come up with a medieval space vehicle (I'm seeing wood
panelling, I'm seeing gothic shapes, I'm seeing dragon's flame-powered).
Think of all those Leonardo da Vinci drawings of weird inventions. Now
this is a real test of your creativity! Don't let historical accuracy
impede you in any way!

And never forget Jules Verne and HG Wells. They're a bit later but some
of their ideas could be converted.

Of course, you are welcome to bring other non-medieval things too; just
try to bring at least one medieval item!

I think I like this themes thing. Forces me to get creative. Its just a
pity I keep on missing meets (sigh!!).

Cheers

Tim

OK, based on responses so far ... It seems like the best date is Sunday 21 October (sorry, Aaron), commencing 10am.
