Aggie asked:

<<< Is HPfGU planning anything where we can all meet 
 up at Accio.  I nearly asked you personally as I knew you were part 
of it, but didn't!!!!
 
The regionals put my nearest one as London too!!  It's only a 3 hr 
car drive away!!! (I have to allow for getting lost!)>>>

Ali:

The short answer is that we haven't officially decided anything yet, 
but the long answer is I'm sure that we will. Over half of the Accio 
committee come from HPfGU so it is very important to us personally 
and of course, HPfGU is sponsoring us. One of the benefits of Accio 
and indeed the other conferences is that you can get to meet the 
people you've seen on the lists, chatted to via email or YM.

In terms of HPfGU, we have wondered about the idea of having HPfGU T-
shirts. If we did, that's certainly something you could wear to 
Accio which would be an easy way to identify your favourite HP chat 
group - although we will be sending out questionnaires to members 
nearer the time so that we can try and introduce you to like minded 
people.

Accio is also using one of the general forums to allow people to 
start up their own regional groups so that they can meet fellow 
members before the conference and maybe travel down together etc. 
These groups can be on a small geographical scale, although I would 
recommend you coming to a London HPfGU meet if you possibly can.

Have a look at the Accio website and the Accio forums which can be 
found at:

But please feel free to ask questions about Accio - you can either 
ask me directly or ask on the Accio forums or the UK Convention 
Yahoo Group.
