Can we have a meet a little higher up in the country?? (UK)

Post by MrsEss » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:15 pm

i know people are organising meets in what i refer to as "the south" yes, i think birmingham is south, i know technically it's not. i'm in the NORTH EAST & the last meet up here was WGW in november, but i actually only saw DragonGirl & that was only cos i recognised her hair as i was walking past somewhere.

You guys look like you had fun at the london meet, but london is an 8 hour drive away for me, the train is quicker but it's a tad pricey.....so any ideas on an "up north" meet??? where i live is no good, cos there's nothing to do really. but i was thinking, maybe YORK, NEWCASTLE. etc in about AUGUST???

Yes......no?????

*~*~*ONCE THERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR A VOTE*~*~*

SO....shall we say suggestions until 31st of MArch & then we can vote?

I'd be happy to have a meet higher up to the country.

I'd prefer Leeds, because the route there is much easier from where I am. But York isn't too much further. I'd just have to look at bus routes and stuff.

I've not been to York in such a long while. What kind of shops and stuff are there in York?

We have a Disney shop in Oldham>.<

I know Tom's been to York so I will probably give him the second degree on what there is to do.

What about Scotland? But I guess that'll be too far north for most people! :cry: ;)

York is a fantastic place! I love it. Lots of interesting old stuff :D

i'm guessing you know your way around the lakes?? i wouldn't have a clue where to start :lol:

mmm. i was thinking anywhere between leeds & newcastle. York appears to be sort of in the middle - edited top post. i'll open this up for voting at the beggining of april.....keep the suggestions coming!! :D

the lake district is huge, but there are many pretty places. but might be difficult for some to get to?

maybe blackpool, it abit out dated, but worth an option.

i think we should have a manc meet any way, theres a fer few of us from round there?

lol these meets always happen at the opposite end of the country to where I am.. when there's a london meet I'm at uni in bradford, when there's one further north I'll be at home in Reading!

I believe there was supposed to be a Manc meet last year, with the possibility of a mass photo shoot, but alas it didn't happen. There was a meet somewhere up in the midlands/"north" (everything is north to me as I'm right down the bottom of the country lol) I'm sure - I remember seeing photos of it on the old forum... hmm.. must have been a while ago now.

Also, wasn't there supposed to be a Birmingham meet just before xmas/just after xmas? I missed what happened with that. Will be so much easier when we have the meet sub-forum to keep track of all this hehe :lol:

blackpool would be a bad idea-for so many reasons (take it from a native) But manchester would be brill
