Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) EDIT: When I get back home I'll close this and make another thread. Discussion can continue here until then. In b4 horses. So, it's almost April...and no meet thread! I'm going on holiday tomorrow, so I'm not *really* going to participate too much in this; I ask simply: Will there be an N-Europe Meetup this year? Where will it be? Who will take responsibility for it all occurring? I will most likely attend anything anywhere; but if you want it to take place closer to you then you need to be responsible for both it, and people! And sorting of those things. If all else fails, and everyone's happy with the almost now classic of London - I am in for the win. @ReZourceman and other people.

Posted March 25, 2013 20th July 2013. Hyde Park, London. 10AM start. Done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 I was thinking about the same thing myself. I'm up for a meatup again this year, need to make a trip to London. Name the time, i'll get the leave sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 Would love to come down again but depends on work - I don't have many holidays left! Second half of July would be best for me. Edit - 21st July onwards as I'm away with family 6-20th most likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 We don't have to contend with the Olympics this year so we have a bigger timeframe to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 Anything beyond June should be fine for me! Now I just need to figure out what to do with accommodation this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2013 We don't have to contend with the Olympics this year so we have a bigger timeframe to choose from. Yeah, didn't post a thread sooner thinking about this. Tbh I've no idea what london weather'll be like, half of me's hoping that as it's still cold as ice right now that summer might run on a little longer, but that's just wishful thinking :p Uhhh...can someone setup an open spreadsheet dealie with availabilities? I think I've set a spreadsheet here; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajo3yMtxVbhbdF9YV2g2RWwwd0IzdE9MbU1Bd1dFVUE#gid=0 I've also added a 'preferred location' column, but don't expect much to come of it unless someone in that location wishes to take responsibility.

Posted March 26, 2013 I would suggest Manchester, but I really can't think of anywhere as ideal as Hyde Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 Now we have to do it. I can't promise anything yet, though; transport and accommodation are still challenges to my mental resources, especially on my own. Last year Goafer made it all possible, but it'd be presumptuous of me to expect generosity of that level again. It would be great, though, to meet up and hang out with someone while over there; that'd make it a lot easier for me to handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I'll try and make it along to this if something is organised. The fact I haven't made more of an effort with the ones in London is disgraceful. How about the weekend of 6th/7th July? There's that convention going on and it would be something to actually do one of the days, while leaving the option to chill out/London it up the other day.

A very generous person indeed that is for sure. I would offer the same, but as i live in Wales it would prove a little tricky and would involve a 2 hour train-ride to and from London. If hotel accomodation for anyone coming down early is needed, i can sort something out for a few people if they so wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2013 I still think Go-Karting is a great option if we're actually looking for something to do other than hang-out. Or some could do it on the Sunday otherwise maybe. Someone like @Mokong X\-C needs to film it and edit it into N-E Kart 2013! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conventions like that are not suitable for large groups. Even in small groups it's a nightmare to navigate. I'll be at that convention, but with other people.

This is actually very true. If I ever go to a covention with a largeish group, I spend most of my time getting calls/texts with "WHER R U?" which is extremely annoying. At least doing it that weekend could give peeps the option to go if they wanted to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
