Barcelona, anyone? 😉

Surely the Mercury is too high for some? 😉

Has anyone thought about Southampton?

With any luck Alan will have recovered by then. 🙄

 

[Hazel]

Sadly Southampton for anyone north of Watford is out of the Question

 

[ypauly]

Barcelona, anyone? 😉

By far the best city I have ever visited.




Pick a date.

Er make it Prague we'll split the fare

Oooooh I love Prague, let's all go there

I think that's why multiple events are organised in a year. It enables those who have to travel a distance otherwise to still have something to go to.

Oh, and by the way, I think we are all now aware that you live north of Watford! 😉

 

[Hazel]

Thank you Andy - charming as ever

 

[Steff]

I can tell you have a bee in your bonnett Hazel about people not travelling miles around the UK to these meets, but as individuals we are surely able to decide how far we want to travel, no need to make those that dont travel miles feel villified.

[HOBIE]

Once went to Istanbul on me bike 😉

Not Glasgow in July or August! There's a wee randan going on then and any sane person will be in Aberdeen.... Or perhaps York.

Actually, I'll be in Glasgow on June 7th/8th meeting my chum from Wolverhampton, maybe we could arrange something? Her mum is T2 and she's pretty clued up.

 

[HOBIE]

Hi Alison, I am going to Glasgow this year by boat from Newcastle ! Up the coast in at Firth of forth, Edinbrugh through the cannal, Falkirk wheel to Glasgow. Am looking forward to it when weather picks up 🙂🙂

 

[Redkite]

A wee randan - I love that! No idea what it means though I guess the event in question is the Commonwealth Games?

I'm going to Edinburgh to stay with my cousin and his family, and we're all going to watch the Commonwealth Games marathon, as they applied for loads of tickets and got nothing. I didn't apply for any due to degree of uncertainty (to put it mildly) when tickets went on sale, and withdrew my application to be a volunteer, Plus, volunteering at Tour de France in Yorkshire (stage 2 starts in York) and possibly Cambridge, too. I might actually see a bit more than being in windowless control room at Olymic Park. Perhaps I'm not a sane person, though 🙂

 

[Dizzydi]

Don't forget to add Manchester to the list - there's a few of us around this area x

I'd love to make London this year - finances pending as I'm trying to get a business off the ground x

 

[Northerner]

Thanks for starting this thread, sorry I have been neglecting things lately. It's very useful to get all the suggestions. One thing that really needs to be borne in mind is accessibility - wherever we go must be easily accessible by public transport, preferably within easy reach of a well-served rail station. I'd be very happy to add Southampton to the list. I suspect the continental options would be out of reach for the majority. Manchester, certainly. June for Glasgow would be good, as that is the time we normally hold it 🙂 In the past we have also had Salisbury, Taunton and Guildford. What about Leeds?

 

[Carmina]

Leeds and Manchester would be fine for me because there's a decent coach service from here, I think. Rail travel is fine but a lot of people would need plenty of notice so we could nab the reduced fares. 😉

 

[HOBIE]

I could do Leeds in about 2 hours on bike. Done a rewire there last xmas (a couple of times went for the day) Excellent tapas place in Roudhay 😎

The randan is a form of revelry normally involving copious amounts of alcohol and other rowdiness.

When will the calender of meets be going up, I assume theres no Oxford in January?
