Sorry, away on holiday so cannot make this one as much as I would like to.

Think Dizzydi is going.
 
OK, I will leave this up for another couple of days, but if we don't get any interest then I will cancel it - don't want DizzyDi coming all the way from Manchester to sit there on her own!

Instead of cancelling, maybe we could just postpone it. But don't postpone it for the week after, as I have to collect Carol from the airport again. Maybe you could do a date questionnaire or something like that 🙂

Unfortunately, trying to get dates when people are available is very difficult. That's how we tried to do it originally and it became almost impossible to get any consensus, so we decided that it would be better to have a fixed calendar of events so that people would know exactly when they would take place well in advance. It's worked reasonably well fr the past two or three years, but I think the main problems come in the summer months when people tend to be busier with other things like holidays etc. This is why we don't have an event in August, but unfortunately it also seems to happen in July.

oh I see, shame though
 
Elo everyone!

Still no takers ?

I'm gonna say I'm no longer going, long way to go when no one else is going.
 
Would it help if I changed the date to July 20th? The main reason for picking the beginning of July is because there is the Brighton one at the end of July, but there again it's unlikely that anyone would want to/be able to attend both.

Let me know if you would like to come if it was the 20th instead 🙂

That day is good for me 🙂
 
Northerner said:
Ah, that's good news Monica! Anyone else? I'll change the date on the FB event to see if anyone else finds the date more suitable 🙂

I hope some more people will be able to turn up 🙂 It would be a shame to cancel it.
 
I would love to attend a big meet. I organised a small meet in keswick last year & met some ex people. I will be doing another one in this summer but like everone else busy. Roll on Cumbian meet. York is a mint place. But might have a star speaker at Cumbria event 🙄 Good luck with York 🙂
 
I enjoyed York last year and hoped to come this year but neither of the dates suggested work for me this year :(
 
Sorry even the change of date can't help. No time to get cheap tickets. Sorry too expensive

Totally unrelated - but could I get a link or a pointer towards fb group? :D

There isn't a facebook group for the forum shambles as it's not a good format for discussing problems and experiences. You can't track things very easily or search for them and it's a lot more difficult to moderate. When we have an event coming up though I create one on FB so that people who have 'friended' me there but not on the forum much can be made aware of them.

Anyone is quite welcome to send me a friend request as long as you let me know who you are! - PM me if you want to know what to look for 🙂

It looks like the 7th is cancelled then?

Richard

I'm afraid it's looking that way Richard. Only Helen D has indicated she might be coming on FB, and only Monica here with the new date. Nothing to stop you three from getting together though if you wish! 🙂 I would love to come but have had a lot happening recently (as you know) so can't make it.

Just heard from Helen and she can't make it either as she's working on the 20th! I will cancel it in that case if no-one objects? Speak now!

awwwww! But I guess there's no point in me going on my own is there 😛

So I guess, it's cancelled. I'll see if I'll be able to go to Brum instead. As Carol is now classed an adult and my Family& Friends Railcard has run out by then anyway, I'll probably come on my own (if I do come)
