Guys, bad news. It looks extremely unlikely that building work will be finished in time for the 26th 
The original schedule has fell by the wayside with the onset of problems. Its a 170 year old building so they keep finding more and more areas patch up the closer they look. They're now quoting mid November for completion but I wouldn't hold my breath, its more likely the end of November given what I've seen.
I think we can knock the hall idea on the head for this year.
However I still fancy a get together of some kind so Simon/whoever else are welcome to drop by mine for an afternoon. I'll be honest and say I've got an ulterior motive here - I've been doing a room acoustic treatment and I've had very little feedback on the LGT loudspeakers so would really enjoy sharing what I've been working on these past couple of years and maybe get some thoughts for area's of improvement.
The room is small at 2.5m x 4.2m but there's three comfortable recliners and room to squeeze a couple more small chairs if needed so seating for up to 5 people.

What building where??!!!
There's a bunch of building work going on in the hall we were going to use for this so the meet I was planning to arrange has been cancelled for this year. Instead I'll be having a small gathering round at my place but its only a small listening room so I capped the number of folks at 5 which has now been filled up.
Hopefully we can get another gathering sorted for early next year.
I don't know what the status of this meet is? I know there's the Eggborough one tomorrow but is this one still likely to go ahead? How is the building now?
Both venues are a great distance from me (still car-less, though mabye not for too much longer, but I don't think I'd cope well with long drives!). Just to put the idea out there, is anyone in interested in a more Southern meet, ie Swindon?
