dj87 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We started discussing this (again) in the London convention thread, but I don't know who has or hasn't popped in there. anyway, we're feeling its time to stop talking about this, and actually get it organised. So... don't stop talking about it at all, that would be incredibly counter productive. I'm in no way a proper organiser of events, but a thread like this is to gauge interest, ideas and such. I'm hoping everything will start to fall into place. right, first off... numbers, who is interested? Always important to find out your numbers. secondly, where? I mentioned London, as it shouldn't be too difficult for people to travel into (public or private transport), but Rob has also very kindly invited us to sleep at the bottom of his Lake, if people fancy travelling down to Devon. I'm certainly open to this, while it may be a little more difficult getting to, it does cover accommodation as well, which is nice. PLEASE DO offer other suggestions if they're, y'know... good. lastly, when? I figured late summertime would give people the necessary time to come up with a watertight plan, arrange transport and potentially time off from the respective employments (if necessary... lets try and come up with something that works for everyone) ok, GO!

UK Collector Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am also interested in this. I'm not the most active member on the board, but I'm always lurking and would be cool to meet up with some like minded people. I am South East based, and London would be perfect for me.

buttheadsmate Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Timing this to miss the Olympics will probably be best....or not? I'm not fussed either way but London will be busier than usual around the end of July early August.....this might be good or bad ,just saying not meaning to complicate.

UK Collector Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Is anyone coming down to London for Kapow Comic Con on 19/20th May? http://kapowcomicconvention.com/ I'm planning on going at least the Saturday but could do Sunday too. Would be great to meet up at the con or have a few drinks afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 after the Olympics is a good call, plus it offers more time for folks to sign up, etc. Its a little short notice, but I may well try and get along to that there convention. Anyone been before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Collector Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thread necro!! I propose November 17th as a meet up date, in London, with the exact venue to be decided. I'll be PMing those of you that I know live in the UK to hassle you to attend, if I miss you, please dont be offended, just give me a prod and we'll add you to the list. There's a couple of us down to attend already, but hopefully we can get one heck of a meet up between us, and drink some fine ales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You guys are meeting in Manchester? I'll have to send you Karl Pilkington Minimates to celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I won't be able to make it either, as I'm knee deep in paying for my motorbike training and tests, at the moment. It ain't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) You guys are meeting in Manchester? I'll have to send you Karl Pilkington Minimates to celebrate. Ah yes, the fabled Karl minimate! We demand photos! And no, we're not meeting in Manchester, I think BHM was just on a wind up.

UK Collector Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Less than 2 weeks until the meet up. Who's definitely coming, and what sort of area of London do people want to meet? Drop me a PM and I'll coordinate a meeting place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj87 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 i'm definitely in... it would be cool/helpful to get a vague idea of numbers. also, anywhere in London is fine by me, so lets those with ideas or preferences speak up first.
