There are firm plans for Meetup/BBQ in Sheffield on 18th of September 2012. Time is tentatively 1pm till you beg us to stop serving food, but it may be shifted a few hours either way depending on weather.

This is a very informal event, just few bitcoiners sitting around a fire talking bitcoin and bussiness, drinking beer, eating out of this world BBQ  and generally having great time.

For those of us who are not UK based, and going to the London Sep 2012 conference this will mean 2 extra nights stay in UK and 2x 2 hour train ride London-Sheffield-Your Departure Airport. Most people, who are coming, booking 2 nights in Novotel, Sheffield. To avoid rip off prices it is best to book train rides well in advance.

For example Bitcoin Magazine team's itinerary looks like:

- 13th morning we check into Imperial Hotel
- 17th morning we check out from Imperial Hotel
- 17th noon check into Novotel, Sheffield
- 19th morning check out from Novotel, Sheffield

Number of guests I am willing to accept (the BBQ is in my back yard) is very limited and anyone who wish to come must confirm this with me first.

So far about a handful of  people are expected to be here: Bitcoin Magazine team, Dr. Graziano, Dr. Ruzheinikov a few more people. Post in this thread if you want to confirm publicly that you will be here.

BTW Sheffield is undisputed Beer Capital of the world and we could have some activities organized like tour of the best pubs if someone is interested.

On BBQ a semi-professional chief (also the second largest bitcoin miner in Sheffield and UK, probably) will take care of the best BBQ of your life (optimistically). See some photos I'll post below, those made by me and I am just his humble student.

The food and beer is free, but chief accepts bitcoin tips, and knowing the food I am sure he will not go home empty-handed.

Risks: This is England, so weather is always a risk, as long as it is not a heavy and prolonged rain we should be fine, but if the worst happens we will come up with an alternative.

Hit me by email or skype for details.

Looking forward to some good times in your backyard!

Confirming attendance at the BBQ.

I'm definitely interested in the pub-tour.

- 13th morning we check into Imperial Hotel


I'll probably be in London on the Friday evening (14th) if there's beers happening anywhere, so be sure let me know what your plans are.

png images were a bit too fancy perhaps, simplified now. I cannot reproduce the error unfortunately.

Dammit, I and retarded.

All this time I thought you lived in Birmingham (don't know why I thought that) and that you were too far away (when I lived in Manchester...next bloody door).

Now I look and it's actually Sheffield, sorry I can't make it, I would spend the day just traveling and I need to get work done.

Dammit, and those pics look so good.

Sorry, for the confusion, Nefario. Maybe next year now.

Soon we will tease with some more pics those who could not (understandably) abandon work, spend time and money needed to travel here for some BBQ. There is just a handful of people attending, but we had IMO a great start today. We had a guided tour of some of the best Sheffield pubs these evening. This beats hands down anything we had while staying in London. I'll wait for participants to post their own accounts, hopefully.

Tomorrow it is shashliki and bbq'ed lobster time and of course some plotting and intrigue and other Bitcoin drama discussion.

Yes it was and your idea just doesn't want to seem to leave my head Wink. That night with the chair on the street was magic ;-). "The beast that listens to you" (Andrew Miller), haha.
