UKAPS Meet Aquarium Gardens March 26

[Tim Harrison]

Only 22 days to go till the UKAPS meet up at Aquarium Gardens Sunday March 26. We’ve had a great response and are expecting a good turnout. However, there is only room for a limited number of people in the showroom.

In light of this can those who are attending please send me a private message with your first and last name so we can make a priority access list. If you are not on the list we can not guarantee you'll be able to participate in all activities throughout the day. It'd also be helpful for Dave so he can get some idea of the numbers he's catering drinks and sandwiches for.

We’re looking forward to seeing as many UKAPS members there as possible and meeting you all. It’s going to be epic. Don’t forget Aquarium Gardens will open up for us from 10am onwards.

Less than 2 weeks to go. Don't forget, drop me a pm if you're planning on coming along

Does 'from 10 am onwards' mean to aim for 10 am, or is there a 'expect most people at this time' designated time?

Ooof so tempting
I even checked the prices for the tickets from Norway to England. Just dont know if I can swing it

Is there a chance there might be another UKAPS meetup a handful of years from now @Tim Harrison ?
I would really love to meet "you all" 😃

The plan is to make this a regular annual event, maybe even biannual. We originally had something much more ambitious in mind but that was a few years back. Unfortunately, the global pandemic put a stop to it. And it'd be good to meet you too

I was afraid someone would ask me that. Sorry I couldn't remember the name of the guy front left. Maybe someone could remind me and I'll add him.

Dave mentioned he'd be happy to host an annual UKAPS event.
We could arrange another get together at AG for a similar date next year.
Maybe Sunday 24 March 2024. So pencil the date in your diary now
