OcUK GD Meets - are there any, ever?

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 10:53

I remember reading about a big OcUK meet in Edinborough on here a while ago, and wondered if anyone was planning anything similar?

The Motors meets are always fantastic, have some real fun and not just the driving - the banter is brilliant too.

I'd be willing to go anywhere for a good GD meet, I went to Oxford for a Motors meet, and even though I had to drive the M1 / M6 at 40mph due to the car messing about it was still brilliant.

So GD, what you got?

You seem to have a thing with bushes

Birmingham, as it's the middle of the country?

The Dons should have attended the Motors meet then, they would have banned us all permanently

I tried organising a Cambridge one, but interest fizzled out.

Come on, I'm waiting

Yeah, that'd be cool.

If no one else organises one, I'd do it, but ofc we would need a poll to see what people actually want to do, and where.

Polls are useless. You need to decide venues based on where you know and what is available at the time. You need to make the decision before going forward.

Cool, well if anyone around Birmingham has any ideas, I'd be more than happy to organise one - just where I am (Preston / Manchester) is a bit out of the way for most, unless you'd all fancy coming here.

We have lots of women AND beer, and some good pubs etc. Upto the masses

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 11:37

Manchester would be good. What about a theme park, Camelon or Alton Towers, just a thought?

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 11:42

Wherever we go, we could invade / takeover a Travelodge and stay there after beer-related trauma.

Machester seems popular, what kind of things does it have in the day? Go karting? Clunge-spotting? No idea what you guys are into

You mean we don't all bring our Lan pc's and connect up and type?????

You could take a Netbook to a pub or something

Joke of course

I really would be up for anything, what about Thorpe Park? Just throwing some ideas around - me and some mates went to Thorpe Park, stayed at Staines Travelodge and got horribly drunk because causing hell in the hotel. What a weekend

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 14:37

I have no idea if people here would be up for that, although it was a brilliant trip.

Do you reckon it'd stir enough interest?

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 14:53

They have winter days, and it'll be good to get everyone with a bit of adrenaline, then lots of booze later.

Pub setting is for the evening, then I vote the Travelodge plan

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 15:00

I hate you Janesy!

I'm a legend when drunk, at 1am I starting singing Vindaloo and got several people singing with me

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 15:04

You're my new drinking buddy.

mattyprice4004 · 29 Sep 2009 at 16:25

I will check dates, holidays and will make a new thread shortly, Thorpe Park it is
