Next forum meet - Birmingham, September?

[shiv]

Hello all!

Now Brighton has been and gone, we need to get going on the next one.

Birmingham lost out by 1 vote last time, so I'd like to propose we have the meet up here next time.

To keep things spaced out a bit, being as we will have a do in November for the forum's birthday, I thought September would be a good month. Once we have got an idea if September is good, we can narrow down a date!

I just want to get an idea if everyone is happy with this. Birmingham has good connections with most parts of the country by train and coach, and I guess you could fly in if you wanted to?!

If you're seriously interested in coming, please could you fill in the poll so I can get a good idea of what people want?

Cheers

Shiv

I'd be up for that,depends on the date in september though as my dad will be visiting.


p.s dont forget sam is arranging a meet in august as well.

 

[shiv]

If Southampton is at the beginning of August, and Birmingham is say at the end of September, it'll leave a good bit of a gap 🙂

 

[scootdevon]

I'll be there but i need a good B & B to stay in as im not driving back or getting the train late sat nite, thanx in advance fer B & B's, & wot steffi said bout meet in august too

 

[gail2]

i will be able to come to this one will need to find a b+b just wish i had been well enough to attend saturdays meet. At least this much notice will allow me to save some money up

 

[aymes]

Very much up for this, it will just depend on the date as I am on holiday for some of September.

 

[shiv]

I'm now thinking end of September, so the meetups aren't all too close together?

18th or the 25th, both are Saturdays? Plus outside of peak holiday times so travel might be cheaper...actually I have no idea if trains do holiday times, but you get my train of thought!

 

[Shelb1uk]

I'm there and some 🙂 Go Shiv Go!!! x

 

[Viki]

I vote 18th!

 

[shiv]

Haha I was leaning for the 25th, but I'm easy really!

 

[Viki]

im being cheeky coz im away on the 25th . . .!!

 

[ypauly]

I am in brum everyday during september, so the date doesn't matter.

Looking forward to it allready.

 

[sofaraway]

I could only do the beginning of the month. I might stay over as I don't know how long it would take to drive.

Brum's good, i can catch the train, but the 25th will be better for me. Warning though, the coinciding of being another year older and another year diabetic tends to make me a bit glum, if last year was anything to go by. No cake and the imminent arrival of another trip to the doctors..where's the fun in that?

 

[smile4loubie]

As long as trains/b&b's arent to expensive Im game!

 

[rossi_mac]

Much better having a meet not right down the bottom of the country! Even though there are a lot of people down there, well done on sorting this out.

Although as I said in the Southampton thread I won't commit I'm all over the shop with work and in me head at the mo but I'll keep my eyes peeled and with a bit of luck I'll head up and catch up with you all.

Stay safe

Rossi 🙂

Depends when in September, my first choice date would be 11th, 2nd choice 18th. Not sure if I could make the 25th but would try my hardest . Would try and drive/travel down on the Friday and stay 2 nights in a b and b.

 

[shiv]

Bump bump!

So - 18th or 25th? A couple of people have preference but does anyone else?

 

[shirl]

18th betta for me Shiv, but 25th at a push . . . . .
as long as I get to actually meet people face to face at last!! Shirl x
