Glad to hear that. I would like all people interested in the
U.K. activities to participate in this discussion.

Yes. We will do a lot of talking. 

However: it is important that we find some time to get together
outside the regular Expo events, preferrably at some nice place where
it is not as crowded and noisy, to discuss the details of the
U.K. activities.

From my experience, you hardly ever find any time after the Expo
closes. Also people are really tired then.

I will probably come the day before the Expo starts and leave the day
after the Expo ends (no guarantees). 

My evenings are often preplanned for going out to dinner with some
people I'd like to talk to. I fear the evening of the first day has
already been blocked in Milano... 

So the only real chance seems to be sometime during the day, a good
time would be around noon. 

Regards,
                Georg


P.S. Should we maybe cross-post the results of this thread to
discussion? I'd like to keep the "big audience" informed, too.
