Edinburgh Fringe Meet

Edinburgh, the Hive for Scottish Joinees. It was in August 2003 that The Leader met up with Gold Joinee Gareth Saunders for a casual chat during the early stages of the Fringe Festival. This casual meet would soon lead to one of the largest annual meets to take place in the Join Me calendar.
Moving from pub to pub they soon found themselves in The Pear Tree House, run by assistant manager Geoff Robbins. On overhearing some of the conversation, Geoff was quick to become a Joinee and signed up on that very day, not only that; he managed to persuade many other drinkers to Join with the use of his trusted digital camera. On that very day Danny 'The Leader' Wallace proclaimed The Pear Tree House the official pub for Join Me.
On August 16th 2003 the first official Join Me Fringe Meet took place. Co-organised by Gold Joinee Saunders and Joinees Frost and Hodges; over 150 people, including the Leader himself, turned up to spread the word of the Karma Army. This meet became the largest of the meets since the release of the book, a record that would remain until Karmageddon 2. 
New traditions for RAoK were set during the Fringe Meet, traditions that would pass down through meets for every meet that followed to this day. 
In August 2004 the Annual Fringe Meet would evolve. Growing from a one weekend deal into a entire week event of epic proportions. Kicking off on Saturday 14th and lasting until Sunday 22nd. It was this that transformed the Fringe Meets into something special, they become a combined Join Me Holiday destination for Joinees from around the world.
August 2005 sees another evolution in the History of the Fringe Meets. Starting in Inveness on the Saturday 13th Joinees then travelled to Glasgow on Wednesday 17th only to finish their trip in Edinburgh on Saturday 20th.
A good time was had by all, and plans are already being formed for JOINverness 2006 at the Talk:July 2006 page.
