BritChickx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That would have been nice for when we were there lol! But no generally not....myself and some others tried to organise one a few years ago, didn't go to plan lol. Haven't tried since really, the people i would have wanted to see were a bit far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think it's lovely to meet people you talk too. I have a website and we have meet ups. Our last one was in London xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've met people off other forums before, would probably meet up if the right people were going. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not sure where most people on here live in the UK lol would be nice to meet up if we got the chance x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest40285 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would be up for meeting up with people on here when Im back in the UK visiting in the summer, great idea I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not sure which part of Oz your planning to head to CS but I know on the sister site to this for Perth that there is a few who are planning coming to WA who meet up. They have an organised one planned for Sunday...I believe they are heading to their local Walkabout bar....I thought that was a great idea. I met up with a lady who lived near me back in the UK about 4 weeks before I left, she was coming to Perth too. We kept in touch once I had left, we checked out rentals for them and managed to secure her one, they arrived 4 months after us and we've been great friends since, both of our families normally meet up every weekend, our OHs do things like go fishing and out on the quads together, our girls and theirs go out clubbing etc. It's worked out really well, tbh we now think of each other as family, we always spend birthdays and Xmas together like what families would do. I would say if its possible, then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 If we work out where everyone is that wants to come maybe we could work out where the middle is/where most people are closest too and meet around there somewhere lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest16631 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ........and on a train or bus line......perhaps....... ........long time since I was in the uk so unsure of commute times..... ........but perhaps those already there could start finding the most accessible place for them....!

whichway1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would like to meet up. But I live in the north of Scotland and no one is ever anywhere near here. However a main station route would be good. Not London though, please, its just too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) London is really close to me so obviously don't mind travelling further for others (up North) lol xx Edited January 22, 2014 by Counting Stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichway1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Newcastle is good. My geography of England is poor so anywhere between London and Newcastle is good. Where is closest to middle of UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Newcastle is about 6 hours away from me. Manchester? I don't know how far that is from me but it's up North haha. Is it near Blackpool cos I've been there before too. Lake District? You would never guess I did A Level Georgraphy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest16631 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 .......perhaps suggest a few options...... .......and wherever gets the most votes....... .......meet there....... .......might end up more than one meet due to distance..........

Counting Stars Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I've driven from Stranraer to Kent before and it took me 9/10 hours lol. I'm sure the Lake District wasn't too far from Scotland x Edited January 22, 2014 by Counting Stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
