Obviously Ile say yes to Norwich! Or Cambridge 🙂
 
I'll go to London and I don't think Colchester would present any issues either (although I'd most likely drive so no pint with lunch for me!)
 
I quite fancy Barbados meself!

Never been, but it looks mental. You're very brave!🙄 They transmit the morning news from Pamplona during the festival, so you really get an idea of how mental it is!:confused:😱🙂

Yeah yeah, i know the year has only just started but well you know it has to be asked 😉

When & Where will this years get together be? I know a fair few folk need to plan in advance so i thought it would be good to at least start discussing potentials :D

Hi Carol, we arrange the Meets in a pub on a Saturday, usually from 11am-5pm. You can come when you like and stay as long as you like! 🙂 I don't think I've encountered anyone who didn't enjoy their day, meeting people who 'get it' and putting faces to names 🙂 Everyone is very friendly (we make the axe-murderers leave their axes at home 😉) and you feel as if you already know everyone from 'meeting' them on the forum - you'd be more than welcome to come along. We try to organise them in major cities with good transport links, and usually pick a Wetherspoons pub as they are relatively cheap and do a variety of food. Partners, friends and family members are also welcome!
 
Thanks for the information. I would be interested in coming if there was a mreting in glasgow or edinburgh
 
I want to do a couple this as I missed out last year

Look forward to seeing the diary asap, so I can start saving and be looking out for cheap rail fares
 
Raindrop - if there is one Peterborough or Nottingham would that be easy for you?

Somewhere mid country.

Peterborough and Nottingham are both 2hrs drive for me. Will have to wait to see if shoulder heals enough to drive that distance, or persuade hubby he would enjoy the day if he came. Hopefully by this summer I'll be back to normal, well that's the plan.
 
Fingers crossed for you raindrop
 
Don't mind where but lots of notice about dates would be good.
If flights are needed they will be cheaper.
