UK Meet 2011

[Daisy]

there could be a winter (or autumn) get-together and a summer one. so that does both 2010 and 2011, and gives time for planning.

:-o my reply didn't save earlier! :-o

 

so... again If it is done in 2010, I won't manage it because I've already booked all my days off. I can attend only in 2011 and later.

 

 

[Menorain]

Well, we could do something around winter 2010 or spring 2011? All I know is that August is like a million days away and I don't wanna wait thaaaaaaat long to see all your lovely little faces haha

[Bleu]

How about a January or February meet to prepare a more ambitious meet-up in August?

[GuiltyPleasures]

Hey ho, let's go!

[Westie]

Well... me and paya are in paris probably in March, so couldnt stretch to another break so near to that one but you guys all have fun !

[Menorain]

I can do late January or anytime in February.

[Daisy]

I think if there is going to be an earlier meet-up someone is going to have to come forward and offer to organise the basics - like setting a date.

[Menorain]

Well, it depends what part of the week that people want to meet. I'd love a long weekend. Hmmm maybe the first weekend of February? We could do the travelling thing and meet on Friday. Then we've got Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure if people would want to make their arrangements for going back on the Sunday or on the Monday. I'd probably want to be going home on the Sunday evening as I'd have university of Monday. I think that those dates are the 4th, 5th and 6th.

 

I'm just throwing out ideas. Feel free to change it up

Living in Manchester here, so I would've voted for Manchester

 

Manchester is definitely cheaper in terms of costs and being not a very rich individual myself...

 

And Manchester is a big city and has its airport so it's not bad.

 

Unless I have a personal guide, I probably will get lost in London and never make it home...lol.

You guys pick a date. I can take a few days off work to make it to Manchester or London. Feb. 4-6 sounds fine with me.

[subchubdad]

I plan to be there. I will come down from Edinburgh. A brilliant idea.

[Daisy]

Just thought, at the end of August it's Manchester Pride. So that's another option. Though of course that could be expensive - if we actually went to the events - as I think you have to pay to get in. Though of course you don't to go to the parade. I'm not sure exactly how much is enclosed. But it's an option. Just remembered because it's on this weekend - bank holiday weekend .

Okay we keep on talking so isn't it about time someone made some decisions.

 

How about this.

 

4th 5th 6th February in Manchester. If we want to we can then arrange something for August in London.

 

I suggest that someone who lives in Manchester looks around for a place we can meet and if possible a cheap hotel, hostel where we can stay.

 

Once we have a date, place and information we can ask the admins to pin it and then it's just a matter of whoever wants to show up shows up.

[Excuse]

The best place in Manchester for people to meet is either at Piccadilly train station - end of the line for most people, with direct trains from the airport etc., or the gardens. Piccadilly gardens are a 5 minute walk from the station, open and bright. We could meet by the infamous Queen Victoria statue or something.

[Nephylim]

Sounds great except for one thing... February in Manchester... it's bound to be pissing down

 

Having said that... a bunch of smoking hot men steaming in the rain sounds pretty good to me

Whoever takes the lead in organizing it (Emulated?) should ask people to post or private message him if they are interested in attending. I recommend picking a city, date and approximate time, but only giving the exact location to people in private messages just so there aren't unexpected lurkers.

 

Just thought i'd remind everyone of Trebs' point.

 

I'm pretty much broke but i just found out i have enough frequent flyer points to basically travel around the world XD . So if i do end up travelling or taking a gap year in the UK after i graduate, i might actually be able to make the August meet!!

[Circle]

Victoria Statue sounds good.

 

...And I don't know the place well enough to organise anything about the hotels. Someone else should do it

 

 

Edit: A suggestion - how about the Premier Inn just off Deansgate?

Ok, can we get a definite yes on the February dates? And an estimate of how many people would be interested.

 

Seafrance has a special on and I could get a very cheap ferry crossing to England, but I need to make a move pretty much this week.

[Nephylim]

Me and you yes for sure hun. If no one else turns up then I'll have you all to myself

[Bleu]

Ok everyone, no need to come after all. I get Nephy all to myself. :2hands:

[Agaith]

Im gonna have to rule myself out of the February visit (due to being unable to afford train journey and getting back to University on the Monday), but I am still up for the August meet up

[Bleu]

Well, I just booked my ferry crossing for the week-end of February 4-6, so you guys had better show up for the party !!

[Johnathan Colourfield]

For the london one in August. I suggest maybe meet in the gardens of the natural history museum then work from there

[Nephylim]

Well I'm coming to both no worries Bleu you and I will have a wicked time
