Hi all,

Sorry I am not on here much these days, just never seem to have the time I used to :(

Anyway this is just a lil post to say yah for everyone getting involved with setting up lots of meet ups up and down the UK. The more the better I say 🙂 And it's great to have lots of choice to go to for a D socials organiser such as meself!

Even if just two or three people can get together and support each other it makes a difference, it's really not about numbers.

Support really is everything in the crazy land of D, so keep em coming!

Lots of D Love...x x x
 
In the words of the Great Sage Smokey Robinson, I'll second that emotion! 🙂

How about a Manchester meet - I know there are a few of you up there, and it seems to be an area of the country we haven't yet covered! 🙂
 
How about the South West sometime ? We seem to be sparse down here but it's a long way to London to get to the meets and even harder to get up north. Taunton, Exeter or even Bristol would be easier but that's me being selfish I know.😱
 
Manchester might be a good venue for us if it could be arranged. 🙂

I'm all for a Manchester Meet - on my doorstep.

Folk can get trains into any of the main city centre stations i think, Picadilly, Victoria etc.

I can look at places to meet / eat etc if you all like!! just need a date!!
 
I could get to Manchester on the train (although I've never done that journey before).... but not in school hols as I often look after my grandson :D


ps.... has there been one in York? that is near me 🙂

I just popped in to check on my Circle D 3 year event to find a flurry of new meets all over the UK...u guys are awesome 🙂

As a very active d meet organiser I am really excited to see so much activity....wooohoooo 🙂 x x x
 
did we throw the Manchester meet out of the window in favour of the York one? or are we still looking at dates and venues for Manchester?

I am still considering having two Forum birthday celebrations - one in London and one in Manchester - but that isn't until November. I think August is the earliest month now without a meet, but that doesn't mean people can't arrange one at any time! 🙂
