* bump *

Any more takers, only a few weeks away now

 

[Carina1962]

what exactly is the plan? are most people coming for the day or staying overnight in accommodation?

Hi Carina, think it is gonna be a mixture of people staying overnight or not. Hazel and myself are travelling down from Glasgow (4 hours each way) so we took the decision to stay overnight. Northerner and others are travelling up (or down) to Brum for the day...

I have never been to a meet before but from what I have seen previously (on Facebook) I think it is pretty informal meeting for lunch and a few drinks (alcoholic or otherwise)...

I will be down in Brighton by that point but all things being well I should be able to come back up, unless work can't let me have the day off. I'll get there as early as I can and leave late as possible, or maybe stay overnight - unsure yet.

Hey Shiv, I am still 50/50 on if I will make it, stressing about dosh a bit...thinking tho if you go maybe we could share a room and split the cost??? What do you think? Might be better to text me as can't get on here much :0) x x x

I am so sad as I have a hen night on this day. It would have been lovely to meet all you good people. This one is quite close to me too, so would have been great.

 

[Hazel]

could you spare an hour or so in the afternoon perhaps Lucy?

 

[lucy123]

Hi hazel, I would have loved to and it would have been possible if just an evening meal ...but when I say hen night..I probably should say hen day ...if you know what i mean. So frusrated that they clash!

Hopefully will be able to make it to this, not far to travel for me - may come by bike if I'm not drinking 🙂 will be great to meet everyone and get some info from the experts. Also, this will be the first time I have been out for a meal/drink since diagnosis so will test my carb estimation skills and 'public injection etiquette'

awwr i wanna go but i'm to young and there would be no point! and i cba to get a 15min train ahahahah

 

[shiv]

Estellaa drag someone along with you! Bring a friend or parent or anyone you fancy. You obviously wouldn't get served at the bar, but you *should* be okay to sit outside with us if the weather is nice 🙂

15 min train? It's going to take me 3 hours by train 😛

 

[Dizzydi]

I wanted to come as well, but don't think I can

I'm already away the next 4 weekends after the 18th 🙄 25th Sept (1st Wedding Anniversary) , 1st Sept (Baby sis 30th B'day), 9th Oct (Abroad)

It would have been great to meet up with all you lovely people. Gonna try and make the Nov meet in London - will tie it in with a visit to baby sis again 😉
