    Well, I'm up for a mini-southampton meet on Sat if anyone else is. Early evening, 6 pmish, close to the station.

    Only slight issue I can see is that Southampton FC are playing at home that day. But I'm sure we can find somewhere which will not be overrun by football supporters (and no, I'm NOT doing West Quay or the nearby Ikea :p)
