Very belatedly, thank you to Seph et al for putting on a fantastic night at what was very short notice ( no thanks to Obi - you bastard! :kick: I'll get you for making me dance!!! ) Pleasure to meet familiar faces, and new ones....but why can't we have a 2 day social? That way we should get enough time to talk to everyone that we want to. I tell you what, I'll look into it ( especially child slave traders - then you won't have to worry about baby sitters and you'll have some poppy to pay for food, drink, etc win - win situation!

I don't mean this the wrong way, at all, but maybe not too soon. If you look at the munches coming up, there is at least one a month well into next year. If they start to get crowded together they may lose that "special" something. As well as over-stretching people.
If funds were no problem, I'd happily go to one a week... but the reality is, how many times a month can a munch be supported, before they start to collapse into mini-munches? Worse than that will be the geographical split. If there were two munches close together, one North and one South... then instead of people making a bit of a longer journey, they will opt for the one closest.. and rightly so.
Another consideration is people who want to start their own munches in a place that hasn't been used before. If the "old hands", and all credit to them, start running 2 munches a year from one location, it will get stale, but also the "newbies" wont have a gap on the calendar to slot a new venue in. Especially if, for EXAMPLE, the next Leics munch is held within 6 months of the last one... it's quite possible that before the "thank you" thread has finished the next one for the same location will be taking names.
Just my thoughts, and I am quite prepared to be shot down in flames for it.
If i was to answer your question directly, Steph, I would say, September 2006, at the earliest.
I have to echo Postie's thoughts here.... I'm of the firm opinion that munches in the same area/town should be annual affairs .. too many per year in one place does belittle the munch ethos ... for me it's about getting out to different places and meeting different people from across the UK .. yes, we have the 'munch whores' that attend most of the munches regardless of location - and I'm one of them I guess, but that provides a nucleus of people for any given munch with additional 'locals' attending for good measure.
Cost is a factor too .... hotels, petrol, food & drink all make for an expensive night out and I for one can't do too many of them in any given month.
Also, I think that each munch should have three possible venues that are rotated each year, this would limit the potential damage caused by anyone thinking of sabotaging a munch. Ok, a determined person may well find out where a munch is being held but I think it's possible to weedle these people out at some point.
We just need to tighten the whole munch aspect of SH down a bit more.
Maybe instead of posting lists of attendees on the munch thread, we could publish a private list for those that are on it on a weekly basis. This could become a newsletter type publication to include hotel, travel information and any other relevant info to the munch. Access to this information can be password protected and I'm sure Mark can address this issue better than I.
