Next Forum Meet Up...ideas....

[Shelb1uk]

Hi all...

The next forum meet is in Newcastle Upon Tyne I know, but thinking we shd arrange another one for dahhhnnn souuufffff or somewhere in the middle of the UK maybe...

Suggestions etc (some based on chats on saturday)

-A Brighton meet up
-A Birmingham meet up
-A picnic, not sure on where?

I am going to be moving in with my boyf hopefully May/ June time so was wondering about making it in July??? Give us time to plan and hopefully get more good weather then too 🙂

Anyway let this be the start of a general convo and we will try and make something more definate from responses 🙂 I don't mind organising it...unless anyone else has the urge...am sooo tired from Sat still...I was in that Yates for 10hrs don't you know, then a further 4hours in other pubs/ clubs hehehe!

Anyway over to you fine forum peeps 🙂 x

I like Brighton, and would be great if there was good weather.
You are a born organiser Shelley, and you do a great job. Good idea to give people a couple of months notice to book early tickets and get time off work if needed.
Already looking forward to the next one!

How about Birmingham or Manchester to include both northerners and southerners.

Both are on main rail links to most of the UK

No matter where it is - someone will have to travel, this is after all a UK Forum

 

[aymes]

Can I throw Cambridge/Peterborough into the mix too, fairly central ish with good transport links etc....
Or Nottingham's pretty slap bang in the middle too.....I feel a poll coming on!

 

[Shelb1uk]

heheh I feel a poll coming on too...will wait a few days first tho as people add more thoughts 🙂 xxx

Keep them coming ppl!!! x

anywhere's fine with me, i dont mind the travelling as it was so much fun saturday. good to meet all you kick ass diabetics too x

 

[Shelb1uk]

welcome to the forum westie...glad u made it here 🙂 even tho I went to the loo sat and came back and u were holding the BURST 2yr balloon...what happened???

 

[smile4loubie]

As long as the travel cost isn't too much I'm up for anywhere

 

[gail2]

i would like to meet up as well it just depends where/cost etc

Winchester is nice, especially in the summer with the cathedral grounds (great for a picnic) and the river walk and all that. The water meadows are also fantastic. Plus, there are LOTS of good pubs in winchester 😎

 

[westie]

i have no idea im soooooooooooooooooo sorry bout that, i promise to buy a big 3 cake or balloon next year

 

[falcon123]

I vote Brighton!

That's certainly true! Lovely place and great pubs (The Wykeham springs immediately to mind - lovely sausages! 🙂)

Brighton would be good, but I feel it would be fairer for a full forum meet to be at least brum or cambridge, there maybe more people darn sarf but there's good folk north of the watford gap, just give me plenty of notice so I can get my jabs up to date😛😉

 

[Shelb1uk]

phase 2 🙂

I also agree that Brighton would be great...but I have to also agree that a 'mid uk' meet up is due as they seem to have either been very north or very south so far hehe!!!

So far ideas are:

Brighton
Birmingham
Manchester
Cambridge/ Peterborough
Nottingham
Winchester
& I'm gonna throw Norfolk inot the mix just cos I love it hehe!

So anymore suggestions before a poll is set up??? And how do I set up a poll??? heheheheh x

 

[Tezzz]

Can we think of somewhere fairly in the middle of the country and where cheap advance purchase train tickets are available to?

 

[Tezzz]

i have no idea im soooooooooooooooooo sorry bout that, i promise to buy a big 3 cake or balloon next year

Who said cake?? Where is it...?

 

[Shelb1uk]

where do you guys get ure cheap tickets from? Give me the website and I will do some investigations???

Mid Uk would be good, but try to remember us up here in Scotland when you are considering where mid is.

 

[Shelb1uk]

just thought I'd say this is just the next forum meet that I've decided to organise...all you scotland peeps feel free to organise meet ups local to you and anywhere else in the uk for that matter 🙂 the more meet ups the better I say!

It will be impossible to please everyone hence why we will decide with a poll...woohoo....and I love scotland so wd def try to make any meet ups arranged there 🙂 x
