Up North event anyone?

[Hazel]

I would lobe to come too - but whoever is organising it avoid June as there is a meet in Glasgow - to which you would all be made welcome

 

[Sheilagh1958]

York would be good for me to. Now we need to come up with a date and venue.

 

[FM001]

With some notice I should be able to pop in to a northern meet some time in the future.

 

[Monica]

YORK pleeeeaaase!

York or Newcastle are good for me too

Do we need to get a date in the diary and choose a venue

Hi Guys and Girls,

Do we need to come up with a date and venue ?

I know Phoebe first suggested a northern meet - Phoebe do you want to choose??

York or Manchester and a date which you will be comfortable with now you have got your precious little Jemima x

 

[Lairyfairy]

I'm new to Diabetes and the forum so would love to be either at York or Manchester.

So the date has now been set for the Glasgow meet of the 12th June and the Birmingham meet has now been arranged for 17th September.

So should we arrange a place and date for the 'Up North event'.

Northerner is still to decide on the 3rd birthday of the Forum in November

If you want York. ask Alan

York is a beautiful city and has a fantastic railway museum for those wanting to make a day of it.

hope this helps with choosing a date (if people decide on York)

 

[Hazel]

Thanks for all the info, only thing is - as most people are working, Saturday I think would be the favoured day

 

[Monica]

Well, as long as it isn't over Easter, I'd love to meet up in York.

 

[MargB]

Ditto to what Monica said. I am also not available most of August.

 

[AlisonM]

I reckon I might be able to get to York too. If I can find a cheapish B&B I could probably even stay for half an hour. Probably not possible for me much before June though.

 

[Monica]

According to macast's list there's a continental market from the 9 - 12 June. I've been to that a few times, they sell some lovely food stuff.

Unfortunately those dates clash with the Glasgow meet on June 11th We need to get a date nailed down for this folks, I want to go to York! 🙂

could someone list when other meets are on so that we can get a suitable date sorted out before everyone has things planned. if you lot are like me your diaries get filled up really quickly🙄

there is always something to do in York but I listed the special market dates in case you fancy one of them 🙂

 

[Northerner]

Currently we have:

London - April 9th 2011
Taunton - May 14th 2011
Glasgow - June 11th
Brighton - July (date TBA)
Birmingham - September 17th

plus, the Forum's 3rd Birthday on 12th and possibly 19th November (may be a North and a South venue)

No reason why there shouldn't be more than one in a month, as often a lot of people can only make one anyway. What about the end of June/early July for York, as Brighton may be too far for many of our Northern members?

 

[Monica]

That's right, I'll only attend York, so to me it makes no difference whether it's close to another meet. End of June/beginning of July is fine with me.

Am wondering if Carol would/should come with me. Well, I doubt she'll want to.
