2016 TT-Forums Meet

Post by Dave »

Hello.

It's high time we got the 2016 meet sorted.

We haven't been in London for a while so it's time to return! Mainly because I'm organising it.

I have added several date options. Choose all that apply.

Weekend of 25th June isn't possible as I'm in Birmingham. No you're not invited.
Weekend of 20th August isn't possible as I'm getting married. And no you're not invited.

I propose a number of events over the weekend - potentially a couple of field trips to some interesting locations, a pub crawl, the core meet, a nice meal, etc.

I can assist any overseas visitor that would like to come, by acting for them in Britain which might save them a few quid.

Not been to one for a while (2012 i think, its whenever we went to Crewe Heritage), so depending on what the final itinerary focuses on, I may drag myself down. If it's all about the pub crawls and such then no, bit boring for a t-total guy :p

I'm hoping not; got a few contacts which could lead to something fascinating. And I'm cheeky enough to ask if I don't have a contact.

I'd be happy to attend, but I can't over the weekend of 2/3 July. Any other date in that vicinity (basically any weekend June through July) would be fine by me.

I can in theory do all dates bar 21/22 and 28/29 May, my birthday is inbetween those two.

I think that was m that suggested it last time.... But now I am no longer working in London and I cannot arrange anything like that this time.
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:

I don't think I'll be able to make it this year, unfortunately, but thanks Dave for organising a meet! I hope to be able to make a meet next year though (which I propose we have in Birmingham as it'll be 10 years since the first meet, which was there).

London sounds fantastic. I totally support the choice of location!
We should certainly do a few cranky games. Selfie of a TT-F member at every single tube station in Zone 1?

I can help with anyone needing passage from the North of England (but it might be a rather long way way round!) - PM me for details!

Sounds like a laugh, or whoever can take the most selfies at differing stations within an hour, split into groups and differing members can work together to do it?

Do you know, this is the first time anybody has ever used the word "selfie" on TT-Forums. I feel that's a good thing.

EDIT: Hmm, "selfies" was used before though, and "selfie" was in a news story URL, but apart from that...

Can we implement the new Facebook like system now that Jamie has ushered us into a new era?

Sundays I'd almost certainly be able to do! :)
Saturdays... it depends on work and training. I literally have no idea what I'll be doing probably until a week or two before each week.

Totally up for a meet though! Been a while since I've been to one. Totally agree with a London one as it's been a while, and pretty central.

I'm hoping to make it to the meet for the first time this year, and finally be able to put some faces to names. At the moment, I'm currently available on all weekends except the 6/7th August, due to that being my Stepdad's 40th Weekend.

Will be travelling down from Manchester, looking at a similar situation to my most recent trip down to London (flying down, train back up), so a none school holiday weekend would be the better time for myself.

Hope to see you all there!

All of the possible dates should be fine with me, at least none are a definite no at this stage... ideally before the football season starts (or coinciding with Huddersfield playing down South) but as next season's fixtures won't be out before a decision has to be made I'm in the lap of the gods on that one.

I think thats one of the closest polls i've ever seen here at TT-F, almost level for them all :P
61653 wrote:(or coinciding with Huddersfield playing down South)
Huddersfield must be the most mentioned town on TT-F :p

I can do any, although my birthday is 22nd July, so if its 23/24 Jul it'd give me a reason to drink a lot (of coke, I'm t-total :p). 100% planning on doing this one, possibly only the saturday though, unless enough notice is given to book some cheaper advanced hotels, if that is a thing down in London also, how many folk usually hang around for the Sunday?

edit: bummer, no Owen this year, shall have to forgo my drink on him til next time :lol:

Does that mean I need to organise it? Someone keep prodding me...
