Maybe very premature, but after yesterday, I just want to make sure I give everyone a good warning of the date, especially as it's around New Year time so we can get an epic turnout like yesterday

So no deets or anything yet, but just getting that date out there now, for you guys to put in your swole diaries

After yesterdays epicness, it's gotta be a good one to match it, let alone beat it. I'll be sorting a venue over the next couple of months, but needless to say, this one will be your more traditional gym meet, like this years one.

I think that will be the way now, New Year meet is at a gym, with team games, more traditional lifts going on, Summer meet is all kinds of outdoor strongman stuff.

Where?
http://www.monstergym.co.uk/ - Cheshunt

A fantastic gym with plenty of equipment and space for all of us. Deadlift platforms, squat racks, dedicated bench pressing areas, it's a pretty cereal gym. Best part is, they have food on site. They serve all sorts of awesome food, obviously food that will give all kinds of gains

Parking on site and right next to Cheshunt train station

Time?
Arrive - 12pm
Train - 12:30pm
Food and Bromancing - 4pm

Food?
Now we can either eat at the venue, as like I said, they do a decent menu of gains food, protein rich and tasty. But it's not going to unhealthy and fattening, which is what a good bromance meal should be

This place is supposed to be superb and it's a 5 minute walk, so we don't have to move our cars

Let me know what you guys think

Activities?
Last year we had a few good team games that worked, and some that didn't. I'll come up with some closer to the time

The venue I'm looking at is in Newbury, so 20ish miles south of Oxford

They let you hire the gym for the day if it's a group of 12 or more. A lot of BNBF meets happen there and it's an awesome gym
 
I would ask Scott if we can do it at Oxford again, but a Winter one is likely going to be indoors, and 10-12 people in that gym is not going to be fair on the regulars. Plus it's nice to save the Oxford gym for the Summer meets. Gives us a chance to see some other gyms

There's a choice of two gyms

1) Newbury
http://www.bodybionicgym.co.uk/default.html

It's a great gym with some awesome equipment and some great areas for the big lifts. It's where BNBF hold all their Southern meets.

Or

2) Cheshunt
http://www.monstergym.co.uk/

An absolute mega gym, wall to wall with awesome equipment and plenty of racks, cages, deadlift platforms for all of us. Plus they have a place to eat on site that serves food specifically aimed at pre/post workout meals. It's ace!

Up to you guys
 
Nah Bodybionics is pretty awesome, was surprised at the website tbh

Monster gym is fantastic though. I've been there a few times, it can get quite busy but it's big enough where that shouldn't be a problem
 
Updated with details

I'm limiting this to 12 people, rest will go on a reserve list. But don't worry, some phaggots will drop out so you'll probably still get on

So please reply after this to register interest, even if you've already done so previously in the thread
 
No real reason. Just after 12, it starts to feel like we're taking up too much space at the gym, we have to respect the regulars at these gyms and we certainly don't want to **** anyone off

Also if the group is too large, it tends to turn into several mini meets as groups form and not everyone interacts. 12 worked perfectly last time at Birmingham

Put your name on the reserve list if you want to come, I guarantee someone will drop out
