Milton Keynes is interesting since it's the only unitary council in Buckinghamshire. Furthermore, it's named after John Milton and Maynard Keynes.

Speaking as someone without a car, I suspect that London is easier to get to than Milton Keynes, however attractively named it might be (and confusingly too, since it's left me perpetually confused between Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman).

I lived in Milton Keynes for several years when it was all brand new, and quite liked it for a number of reasons. It's dead easy for me to get there in half an hour in the car, but it's basically just a shopping mall! The railway station is called 'Milton Keynes Central'... though it's anything but central, actually.
Shall we continue to think about London on the 27th? We still have to decide where... but we're hardly limited for choice of restaurants in the capital. Also, London has a good public transport system -- something that simply doesn't exist elsewhere!

Funny, Gregory. How are you on Stephen Vincent Benet and Edna St. Vincent Millay?

Jayne, if you have another meeting later on, I will be there all of August and September. I don't participate on the board much, but I am in touch with lots of poets via email and would love to meet a few more in real life!
Charlotte, sorry I will just miss seeing you~

Jayne, I am leaving the decision in your good hands!
Karen, good to hear from you. Will you just be in London? I leave England (from Heathrow) on Aug. 4, but will be in Leicester for the preceding two weeks.

Charlotte,
I'll be with family in the midlands, in Alvechurch.
That is the week we arrive, I haven't got the exact dates with me, but I can email you when I figure it out.

Bill, I think I can sort out those two. But get me onto the various Robinsons...

Rats! I am now based in the UK, but in the summer I'll be in the US from end of June to end of August!!
Exactly backwards from many of you....a perversion of poets??

Charlotte,
OK, thanks, -- I just hope my organisational skills are up to it and this thing comes off!
Karen,
Welcome to the sphere, and it will be lovely to meet you in August. We'll definitely arrange another gathering (must see Gregory!  ) We'll come back to that one later! 
Christine,
What a pity you're away for the summer. Maybe there'll be a third gathering???
Jayne
