Greetings --
I propose a write-in at Starbucks at the edge-of-town Sainsburys in Clay Lane, Burpham, Guildford. Unless people pop out of the woodwork with other opinions, I'll propose starting Sunday at noon. There's plenty of parking there, and no wireless internet access (a plus for me -- can't get distracted). Here's further info from Starbucks:

I'll have a sign on my laptop reading NaNoWriMo, and probably be near the front windows (because I know there are electrical outlets there).
That's Sunday at noon -- let me know if you're interested -- and if you'd prefer Saturday, please say so, but you'd better say it soon, because this is really short notice for people already!
I can post directions if you need them -- it's right off the scenic Guildford Bypass. Stagecoach runs busses there from the town centre/railway station (though I can't say it's completely convenient for those using public transport).
Mary Ellen

I've sent you a NaNoMail. I suspect this is the message you thought you'd lost. Hope to see you Sunday afternoon.

We had a write-in of two today, but did we ever write! When I left, my colleague was still going, but I went in with 7200 words and came out with something over 11,000. I'm very pleased with how it went, and I plan to be there again tomorrow.
