Pickerel Meeting
Posted in BSFA, Chris Beckett, Eric Brown at 19:05 on 26 October 2011
On one of our two nights in Cambridge I had agreed to meet up with Eric Brown who lives nearby.
He arranged for other SF writers from the area to join us. They were Chris Beckett, Una McCormack, Philip Vine, BSFA chairman Ian Whates and Rebecca Payne, most of whom I had not met before. The six of them have semi-regular meetings in the Pickerel Inn in Cambridge.
The good lady and I had a meal in the Pickerel before everyone else arrived. Our plates groaned. So many peas were heaped on them we must have been served about half a kilogram between us.
I had meant to take some pictures of the gathering but such a good time was had by all that I forgot.
(No. I wasn’t drunk. I had to drive back to the hotel.)
