As the meet-up is only a few days away, it's probably not reasonable to expect everyone will have time to send me keys prior to the event. Happy to do this if people want, but I agree with your assessment that leaning towards ad hoc might be the way to go. Depending on how we go for time, how many people turn up (and interest levels), I'd even be happy to continue keysigning while waiting on dinner - if there are no objections, anyway.
It's also worth noting that a keysigning party has a misleading name: The purpose of the party is not to sign keys at the party :-)
Excellent point.
The actual signing of keys is usually done at one's leisure *after* the party.
That's true, although I'll be prepared to walk first timers through it (not that there's much to it anyway). So if anyone would like to send me their keys before Wednesday night, I can make the key list available at that time - either via a temporary URL which I'll post here, or (if anyone requests it) e-mailing people back directly.
