Here's a quick History for you Mad'
The meets started off when a few of us, (sometimes referred to as the accy mafia or 'the clique'), had the first accyweb Christmas party (organised by Mez and Mick), shortly afterwards, it was suggested that we have a more regular get together to
fit the faces to the people posting and that this could be from 2.00 in the afternoons on Sunday for a couple of hours.
The meets grew in popularity however the length of them soon got to include Sunday evenings as no-one wanted to go home. This proved a lttle disasterous for the local economy as it lead to alot of accywebbers not turning up for work on a Monday!
Due to this it was decide amongst us that we move it to the last Saturday Evening of each month at the same time the 'accyweb meetings', had the name changed to 'accyweb meets' because a meeting sounds like it's going to be something official instead of what it actually is which is an unofficial p*ss-up.
Mez and Mick, I feel deserve a great deal of thanks for keeping the meets going in the way that they do.
The only rule for the meets being 'No matter how you argue on site, a meet is for us all to get together and enjoy ourselves'.
The agenda for them is:-
Talk about anything you like, not just computers and the site, but
remember the rule.
I believe the next meet will be on the 27th of May at the Stag and all accyweb members that can make it are always welcome and if your a first timer to one of these meets, once you have announced your arrival to the rest of us within about five minutes you will feel like you have always known the others.
