HappyHeart Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 This sort of thing happens at work all the time when you plan an activity.Initially every one is all for it and says they're in. As it gets closer the excuses come out and it whittles down one by one. It will always happen, and it will happen next time too. Didn't happen at the Perth meet, it was a great turnout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingtoTasmania Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I feel terribly guilty as @Bora was gonna do a breakfast and everything the next day, but I've booked (train) tickets now to go and see Aunty and apparently it's all she can talk about so I can't say now that oh yeah I'm coming down but disappearing for the weekend whilst lumbering you with the kids! Well, I could, but I won't :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So sorry to see this had been cancelled - looks like I could have made it after all as I didn't have to collect the DS - he got back on Monday just after his son was born. Ah well, them's the breaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I could pretty much make anywhere in England. I need to visit a few places down south this year so if the meet up is in November or December and I'm not working that day then it should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyman Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Bora, I do understand but there was only yourself and one other member that was going to attend and unfortunately the numbers (which we had asked for prior to organising and setting a date) dwindled as time went on. If there would have been 10 interested then I'm sure we would have continued but unless you can eat or drink for 50 people and enjoy your own company it wouldn't have been much of a get together. We cannot make people attend so the ball really is in the members court. I feel sorry for John who had kindly hired the venue and arranged the food and drinks. can we arrange another one for Perth ............this time we would probs stay the night in the City rather than have mrs tonyman drive , some great bridges for shelter ..............

Fisher1 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Birmingham is great for meet ups because its so central (well I suppose the name Midlands is a clue :-) Just had a meet up with friends from online Uni site ... in Birmingham. Lots of decent hotels at reasonable prices, fairly compact city centre, doesn't wander on for miles like London. How about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It's all my fault really, I still feel guilty for letting John organise everything, it was my idea to get everyone together. I just moved out last week though and don't have a penny to my name at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now please stop feeling guilty it's not your fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
