Well Barley, I think the next one should be held in Birmingham, so we should make plans for that one, perhaps some time in April/May so it should be fairly easy for you to get to...but this weekend's Bristol is a no go now...not enough interest...Speaking of Erith:

Well this is the advantage of suggesting dates - I don't know when the terms start you see...May is probably most feasible...Speaking of Erith:

Im used to travelling so unless it was in Scotland or something it would not really be a problem, Birmingham sounds good. When you have a confirmed date let me know.Comment

There are 3 terms a year, right?

Michaelmas (end of September?) is what they call the autumn term at Oxford/Cambridge.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Yes, and Hilary and Trinity (spring and summer)
Although I get the feeling that they call one of them something different in Cambridge...

When do the 3 terms run? Is there a month's break or so between each of them?
FYI, in Canada and the US there are 2 terms a year (from Sept to Dec and from Jan to April/May). There's usually a week or two for Christmas and a 3.5-4 month summer vacation.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Yeah, there is about a months break between them. Michaelmas runs from October to December, Hilary from January to March and Trinity from April to June...or thereabouts...Speaking of Erith:

The UofC has 4 terms: 2 4-month ones (Sept to Dec, Jan to April), 2 accelerated 2-month ones (twice as many hours per week, May-June and July-August)"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
