There! Found my term dates; I'm free for most of April - but at the end there will be exams, so the middle of April is best for me . . . But of course I will be along to this hopefully regardless of when it is. ;D

Hope you can make it too, especially as most people can make it the last weekend.. :)

Can't you choose when you do exams to a certain extent? I can, luckily..

Definitely not - they are all at a set time and day, and everyone does them at the same moment! I can't imagine being able to choose - that sounds very cool. 8)

I don't know when they are, but most likely June. I'm coming anyway - I can easily revise on the train! :D

Perhaps a discussion at the Oxford get-together could be on -

1) David Willetts speech,
2) What projects are in the pipeline?
3) How is the forum being updated?
4) Perhaps start buying up domain names, such as 'MercuryZoo', 'VenusZoo', 'MarsZoo' etc. and then when these projects take off, sell these domain names and make money for GalazyZoo.

Please add to the above.

Fantastic! Thanks Hanny, Chris, and all who did organising - I'm looking forward to this.

It will be right before my exam period, but I might need just this de-stresser - not to mention everybody's brains to pick! :D
