Yes, the most part of this post is a blatant rip of my old one, but there is new stuff at the bottom.
Plus, it needed a refresh. It is five pages, & mostly discussion. This is a pure list so we know who is coming.
Not really a huge amount to say about this that you don't already know.

I propose beginning the meet on the friday before Expo, the 26th, so that we are all nearby the Expo early in the day, & so that we can all hang out before the event, since we'll all want to go off in expo & do our own things.
Hotel: Beckton Travel Inn
Its not far from the DLR (Docklands Light Railway, like a skytube) station, & has a nearby Asda & pub. Plus, because of the Expo event, we'll be able to safely overfill the our rooms. At least, to a certain degree.
Cost: I have booked two rooms for two nights (Fri night & Sat night) at a cost of £216, or £54/room/night. Each night's cost will be divided evenly between all staying that night. If there are eight of us each night, it will be £27 per person for both nights, or £13.50 per person per night; quite a good price in my opinion. Of course, any above eight would need to bring a sleeping bag & hit the floor, but the more who do this, the more out costs will hit the floor. If desired though, I could book a third room. Each room has enough bed area for four (two singles & a double), & the TVs can take consoles the same way as the last meet's hotel could.
Meet time & place: 1pm, London Waterloo, Boots by the men's bogs.
AKA the usual.
What we do:
Friday: Meet up. Go to the hotel & drop off our stuff. Head back out & go places. Head back to hotel & hang out.
Saturday: EXPO! Then hanging out again in the evening.
Sunday: Expo again for those who want both days. Heading home.

Updated as y'all post.
If you want to room, you can arrive as late as you like. I mean, its handy to stay 10 mins from the Expo if you want to get there early & beat the queues (remember to buy an early entry ticket), but you don't need to be free for the Friday afternoon to have a room. Also, the gathering & DVDing & gaming will be in one room, so anyone wanting a little peace & quiet will be able to go in the second room.
Any requests or concerns? Let me know, & I'll do my best to accomodate them.
Lets keep the discussion to the other thread & only post here stating if you can come or not please? Makes the organising a little easier, & we're not short of expo threads. ^^;
Friday pre-expo meet arrival location is Waterloo station, Boots near the mens bogs, at 1pm, the same as the last meet. If you want to room on Friday night but cannot get here for 1pm, state so here with your arrival time, & we'll sort something out for you.
Expo Saturday meet needs more open discussion to plan what we do & when, so the details of that will be for another thread, but for the sake of knowing who will be there, say so here. Expect a large gathering for lunch & an afternoon hanging together maybe, since I know most people will have their own priorities when they first get into expo, like hitting the anime dealers, etc, & general looking around.
