Voynich pub meet – Summer 2010…
It’s coming up to that time of year when I invite UK Voynicheros [*] of all creeds (hoax, language, cipher, glossolalia, etc) to converge upon an historic London pub one Sunday afternoon for a not-at-all-formal chat about all things cipher-mystery-related over a couple of drinks, and perhaps to borrow or return some books from / to my own overstocked VMs / cipher library.
So, out goes the shout to (in no particular order) Philip Neal, Barbara Barrett, Marke Fincher, Tony Mann, Bunny, John Kozak, Peter Howard Mason, Keith Body, Gerry Kennedy, Jeff Haley, and indeed to anyone else who might like to come along - please email me to let me know what dates you prefer. Also, if you’re an overseas Voynichero who (it just so happens) plans to be in London around the end of August / early September 2010, email me your dates too and I’ll try to fit it around them.
As always, looking forward to it! 
[*] Just so you know…
- “Voynich researchers” – deluded souls whose methodological rigour is of little use against this cryptological Everest
- “Voynichians” – people immersed in the VMs world for so long they probably have their own private pronunciation for EVA
- “Voynicheros” – those who don’t take the Voynich quest hugely seriously, perhaps even preferring travelling to arriving.

I’d love to see cartoon portraits of the three types.

I should definitely get to this one. In London throughout the suggested period, so no date preferences.

John: Great! I’m just waiting for Marke Fincher to book his beach holiday before finalizing the date (maybe New Haven next year), will let you know as soon as it’s fixed…

While I’m always ready for a beer (or two), there are simply no London visits anywhere on my calendar in the foreseeable future (which is a pity in itself).
Have fun! Rene
