**The Meet!** no more new threads please..use this one!

How about Corfu and you can all have a holiday as well!!!!!

Fantastic idea but I know hubby won't allow me to fly then, I'd be well past 28 weeks and most airlines won't take me anyway!! Put Corfu on next year's list, me and Pudding will be there!!!

Poll sounds like a good idea, maybe divide it into counties?

 

[Nicola]

A poll is a great idea....I'll add Brighton to the list for the South East!! (or Sussex if the S.E is too large of an area?).

 

[SarahH]

If not everyone can make it to the one place why not have a "forum meet day" Where we could all meet on the one day but in different locations.... ie a Scotland one, England one, Wales one and Ireland one and then all post the pics, etc.

I know there are alot of Scottish people on the forum, and Welsh and obviously English.... I'm not sure about Irish (sorry, if I've forgotten you!)

 

[Urchin]

Why don't I do a poll that says:

I want to come to the meet and I live in the....

North
South
East
West
Middle

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

I suppose one important factor is will this be a one day thing or a weekend? If its say, camping for a night or 2 then I can pretty much come to anywhere, but if its just one day that limits everyones travelling.

How about we decide on how long this meet will go on for and when, and then think about location?

 

[Nicola]

Spot on Urchin....great idea!

 

[Urchin]

Would anyone be up for camping? I'm not sure I could with Mason and Brody...if it rained we'd be really stuck.



Last time it was on a Thursday, can't remember why, I think we had another poll

 

[SarahH]

If it is held in England I'd have to stay in a travel lodge anyways due to getting train/flying down.

Dont think I'd fancy camping with a 7mth old!

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

or a butlins? would atealst narrow down the location choices!

Camping?? Does that involve caravans? We have a gorgeous one and if I could bring DH I could convince him that 'anywhere' in the country was a good idea!! Tents are a no, if I laid on the ground even now at 18 weeks I'd never get back up again, I'm a hippo already!!!

TBH I'd be more interested in a day time one. Its such a lot of effort booking, confirming, paying etc. we had about 40 people last time. Plus not everyone might be able to afford it. If people want they could always organise a B and B or a Travelodge when we've decided on a venue.

My Dad owns a caravan/motorhome retail shop.... I'll sell ya some for commission!!

 

[Nicola]

Great sales pitch Sarah, we have one....try flogging them to the other members!! Hehehe can you imagine if all 40+ people attending the meet was to buy a new caravan from you, on commission you'd make five years wages in seconds!!

Fair point!

I am up for it obviously depending on when and where it is. I'm a bit crap at travelling though by any means of transport but will go for a couple of hours either way (apart from by air). I dont think i would do the camping thing though cause i will either be a big weeble or have a little baby and dont think that would be comfortable.
