People keep asking about it, and nobody has objected to the suggested plan so far, so thought it was time for an "official" thread.

Exact location to be geoposted when we get there and find a comfy spot on the day. Bring your lunch, your good selves, and anything fun that won't blow away with the slightest gust of wind (giant jenga, hula hoops, football, etc.) I'm planning to get a boules set and maybe some lawn darts, unless someone else already has some they can bring (and can definitely make it on the day).

If it rains, we can take refuge in the Woodman next door, which serves a range of tasty beverages (brought to you by the same owners as The Wellington and Post Office Vaults).

If you've never been to a Reddit meetup before, this is a great way to meet new people and hopefully make some friends!

Looking forward to hanging out with you all :)

Keen for this! Assuming that week doesn't kill me off entirely I'll see you all then. Always get screwed over by work whenever there's been other brum meetups in the last 8 or so months!

I might come but it’s just I don’t know anybody so don’t be surprised if I’m quiet

I hope you all know that all of the grassed areas at Eastside are currently just soil with no grass or just grass seeds growing. No chance of playing football on it. You may want to consider moving somewhere else in the City once everyone is there.

I literally just logged into Reddit to post this meetup! Thanks for sorting - count me in!

r/casualuk had a post about global meetup day that I commented on, so I'll submit our post to it.
