Third Northern Planning Summit tonight in Arts Cafe. After reading Russell’s ‘coffee and over the world’ post, it’s good to know we’re not alone (even though we may be drinking something other than coffee). It may have been started with planners, but anyone who wants to come is welcome.

We learned a few things from our first meeting; for example Leffe isn’t condusive for intelligent discussion and it’s always useful to have a tent in the garden if your locked out of the house.

When we managed to get together a second time, where we met Gemma, we found that I’m useless finding venues and James B gets lost easilly, while Famous Rob wowed us with his strategy for a discount supermarket.

We’ve sort of got a name for these meetings now (see below), and Rob will be bringing Joel. Next time Beccy from my place will be coming too. I’ve got Dave at work doing us a logo and things just for fun, maybe we’ll even have some tankards like my Grandad used to have at his social club.

Perhaps that’s what as should call it – ‘My Brain Hurts (Northern Chapter evening meetings)’.

Either this coming Thursday (12th) or the next one (19th) are fine with me.

gemma.

So does that make it a week on Thursday? That’s fine by me. Please say that’s what we’re doing my brain hurts.

    But I dont know any Joel!
    I didnt think the Leffre stopped the intelligent discussion, it just chilled it a bit…
    Bring on My Brain Hurts III, revenge of the planners.
    Am I meeting you at the train station again?

    tremendous ‘do’. well done gemma for picking a far better venue than andrew did last time. 🙂
    Joel is a posh, right wing planner type. A sort of George McDonald Fraser – Flashman! – for the industry, no? Need more of his type.
