A social would be good, although with work and Meta I'm not sure how much (other than Meta) I'd be able to attend.

Speaking of work... I should probably be writing MatLab for my multimedia coursework at the moment. Oh well.

OK. I've checked my diary, and the best dates for a social for me are:
  • - This weekend (impractical as no notice has been been given)
    - 16th - 17th February
    - 23rd - 24th February (i.e. Metamorphosis)
    - 9th - 10th March (least preferred, but possible)
What do you guys thing is the best out of these?

Holding the social on the weekend of Meta and going to it as a group I'm sure is going to put people off from going (I feel a bit selfish saying actually it, but I'm sure that not *everybody* will want to go there)
Why not the main social on the weekend before or afterwards, and a Meta social at Meta itself for those that want to go?

Which date it is doesn't really bother me given my oh so busy schedule at present :P

I'm getting the impression that 16th - 17th February would be best. Who can make it on those dates?

Hmmm... are you talking about Meta or has the topic morphed into what should really be another topic?

Meta: Yes.
Other: Not all of it probably.

I'm now talking about the main social. The date of Meta can't really be changed :-p

Thanks BigG and astro, but I need to know availability from the rest of you.

unfortunately "week 8" has no meaning for me, since I've ceased to run on uni time :(
