A UK SitePoint Meetup

Anyone ever thought about it? :wink:

Well, l say lets give it some consideration! There are far too many peeps here that would easily be able to get to somewhere close by on our little island, why not give it a try?

RSVP your likelyhood of attending, and let’s do it :slight_smile:

If it’s in Edinburgh or Glasgow 100%, anywhere else 0% unfortunately, at least in the foreseeable future.

Well understandibly not everyone can drop everything at a moments notice, but I was thinking a bit into the future! Just so we can accomodate locations, travel expenses ans such.

I’d happily come the Edinburgh again, but perhaps its not the most logical place. Probably mid-england would suit all best.

Well, I’m in the UK for at least another 6 months. Then might go back to Germany, but even then could come over to any place that is easily reachable with a plane from wherever I end up in Germany.

Unfortunately, for those 6 months, I’m too busy to go anywhere else than Glasgow (where I study) or Edinburgh (where I live).

Fair enough… If you can eventually make the trip, then cool! Not saying that just 'cause this is likely to be held on UK land that it isn’t open to those nearby! On the contrary, as the more the merrier!

6 months probably sounds like a likely time-line too, since getting people interested in the idea is a first step, and organisation can come later :slight_smile:

I’d be up for it :slight_smile:

Anywhere along the M6 corridor would be ideal (Manchester especially would be perfect for me based on the ā€œMiddle Englandā€ philosophy). Assuming that I’ll be coming by train (well, I may want a drink?!?!), easy reaches from North Wales is Manchester, London, Cardiff & Birmingham (in terms of direct trains).

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier to make it somewhere like Mallorca?

I’m loving this line of thinking… :slight_smile:

I would be up for a meet, anywhere from Brum up to the Lakes or across to North Wales.

Watford Gap Services is handy for me :slight_smile:

I’m central so London, Oxford, Brum, Nottingham, Peterbough types ares would be perfect

This thread is funny, I know your not real people, your machines like in terminator righ… hang on, you people are real? And you want to meet up? I would be too scared of not returning alive! Meeting people from the Internet usually comes with a can of pepperspray! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Ok good so there’s some initial interest :wink:

And yup, somewhere mid-england is probs best for everyone. Besides we’ll wait and see how many are interested and then think about where and when. Should give a bit of notice so arrangements can be made.

Alex, by all means bring your pepperspray, but easy on the trigger :smiley:

Andy, it was nice knowing you, I’ll read all about you on skynews :lol: - internet meet up turns bad - death by SP book :shifty:

:lol:

I would say that blind dates with internet ā€œfriendsā€ end badly… I am not so sure with this type of meeting :shifty:

But then… blind dates end badly most of the time anyway.

I guess I could do anything since I would have to get an aeroplane to get there. Obviously, there are more plains flying to London than anywhere else but… it wouldn’t do much of a difference to me.

lol Molona, are u speaking from a bad ā€œdont go thereā€ blind date experience?! leans in to hear more gossip - PM me, PM me lol

so… :scratch: does this mean Andy is looking for a date!? :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No, no bad experiences here :smiley: I am a weird kind… a very, extremely weird kind.

don’t we know it Molona, don’t we know it :smiley: btw, you’re scaring me lol

we’ll get in trouble for hijacking Andy’s dating, oh em meet up thread! :shifty: :hush:

Don’t worry. Andy hasn’t killed anyone… yet! But yep, we should go back to topic… how about if we meet in Hawaii? :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought you had a beach hut out there Molona?

nice to see you again H :slight_smile:

Thanks Mike :cool: i knew you’d still be floating around lol
