Forum Meet Up For July - Poll to decide where :)

[shiv]

Bernie it would be fab to have you come along!

 

[aymes]

just a suggestion for a weekend away: what about renting caravans? i've had a look at one site http://www.hoburne.com/cotswolds_tariff-09.asp and the caravans sleep up to 4 or 6 people and depending when we wanted to go, it'd be as little as ?124 (obv depending which caravans, how many people in each one, when we went) for the fri-mon. which works out as about ?30 per person?

if we aimed for september, the prices drop RIGHT down.

just thought i'd throw that out there.

ooh, has anyone tried 'glamping', camping in permanent luxury tents/wigwams. A friend of a friend was telling me about it the other day!
Sorry, this may be a separate issue from the meet, maybe something to organise either separately or when the main meet up is planned....?

Hey everyone,

Hope you don't mind a newbie adding to the numbers but have also added to the vote. Don't know if anyone has read any of my other posts but i don't know any diabetics and to be honest other than the ghastly diabetic camps i was made to attend aged 7-10 which is firmly placed in a box in the back of my head and scarred me for life, would like to meet some likeminded peeps off my own accord.

I voted Brighton as its just down the road for me tee hee and Winchester as it was where my hubby was born and bred - visit the family type thing!

Exciting...Bernie xx

Hi Bernie...the more the merrier....will be great to meet you...looks like it will be Brighton, but still a few days until voting ends!

yknow when i went to the toilet once on saturday, i couldve sworn i saw a bunch of girls that had turned the top part of the toilets into a make up salon or something...maybe that's what it was.

 

[Sugarbum]

I am loving the sound of this....it is getting better and better!!!!! 🙂

 

[SacredHeart]

Whilst I vowed I'd never do caravans again after living them whilst touring for half a year, I'd be up for a big girly caravan trip, actually.

What's happened to me?....

 

[shiv]

What's happened to me?....

we've infiltrated your mind 😱

 

[SacredHeart]

Either that, or I'm only remembering the good bits of caravaning, like hide and seek, and when it was warm and we were solo in a field, and not living in one when all the pipes are froze 😱

no no no...we'll go when it's still warm, and we can spend the evenings having nice drinks and playing frisbee and stuff! wooo! 🙂

 

[Shelb1uk]

COUNT ME IN FOR FRISBEE 🙂

[SacredHeart]

Are we considering caravans as a serious possibility?

 

[shiv]

i think it's worth a thought - they can work out very cheap per person, if we went say, the first week of september (so just out of summer hols).

personally i am def up for caravans but that's just me 🙂

edit: also, they are lockable, you can choose who to share a room with, they have showers and toilets etc, so people might prefer it to camping?

 

[ypauly]

I have just voted for Birmingham. Then I read about caravans lol they arn't going to last long around here

It would be nice to meet you guys though, so much about your lives since I was diagnosed, it feels like I know most of you allready.

 

[RachelT]

Birmingham or Peterborough please! I don't know either, but Brum is an easy train ride away and i can get a bus to Peterborough. Brighton's a bit far for me.
