The Official TT-Forums Meet of 2011 - Manchester - VOTE

[orudge]

Hello ladies and gents,

So, it's that time of year again - time to plan the annual meet. This year, the meet will be heading south to Manchester, following on from Edinburgh last year, and there should be no excuse for any of you not turning up, as Manchester is easily accessible from all over the UK, and indeed the world!

The first thing we need to do, of course, is come up with a date. Traditionally, the meet has always been held on a Saturday in summer. From an entirely selfish point of view, I'm likely to be away in early July, so I'm proposing sometime between mid-July and late August for the meet. If you think you can make any of these dates, please vote, and the results will enable us to pick a suitable date. If you know for sure you're NOT going to be able to come, please do NOT vote.

A venue has not yet been chosen, but I will set my best men on the task shortly.

Any questions, comments, ideas or similar, or if you just think you're going to make it, please post!

Voted, 23rd Sacro and I (and a few others) will be in London for the Simsig Meet.

[SkeedR]

16th / 30th July or the last two weekends in august.

[CharlyHRO]

I'd like to participate but ... Manchester seems a bit far away for me. Next time have a meeting in Germany? Well, in north-east Germany to be a bit more specific.

[orudge]

Eh, Patchman made it from Germany a couple of years ago.

[JamieLei]

Middle of the school term/semester for me! Sorry!

[orudge]

Pfft, it's the middle of summer!

[JamieLei]

My term ends in the 2nd week of August! Then actually got a full schedule until the 3rd August when I fly home!

Oddly enough, this holiday has been whopping huge. And it's oddly coincided exactly with the Cambridge Lent Term!

So, you'd be able to make a meet on the 6th, 13th, 20th or 27th then, surely?

[Dave]

Sorry, need to change my requests. Any chance?

[cood101]

Lol,im on vacation during that time so even if I HAD the money for airfare i couldnt come

[orudge]

Sorry, need to change my requests. Any chance?

Do you mean change your votes? You should be able to change them, I enabled the "re-voting" thing.

[Dave]

Yeah sweet, cheers. Wasn't showing up before.

[CharlyHRO]

Eh, Patchman made it from Germany a couple of years ago.

Erm, well... How do I put it? The only thing not preventing me from participating but at the same time preventing me from participating is the fact that I'm unemployed at the moment. Sure, I don't have to take vacation because I'm free anyway. But on the other hand I don't have the money to buy the tickets.

Anyway, I'm very shy "in the wild" so even when I have the time and money to book a trip to Manchester ... well, I think I'll just be a bystander, not saying much, mostly listening to others and probably looking bored even if thats not the fact. It's a shame that I'm best when left alone

[Bad Hair Day]

For the time being, any of those dates seem to be fine for me.

[orudge]

*poke*

We surely have more than 8 people interesting in going to the meet?

[Ploes]

I'll let the others set a date before I commit.

Seems the only way to fit it into my busy life of nonsense!

[61653]

all the suggested dates don't have a problem for me. I'll come along- it's only over the hill so i may as well!

[Geo Ghost]

Didn't see the topic before

I'd love to go! Later August probably works better for me as I'm meeting a couple of Friends from Norway in Early August and July I might try and travel.

Other than that, August would be alright for me or early July.
May I make a suggestion of looking into the Aviation Viewing Gallery / Concorde Centre as a possible meeting place?

Edit:
13th of August I'm probably be busy going elsewhere. I've taken my vote off for that day

[Griff]

I'm interested in attending, but realistically only if I have a job by then.
