Poll: Random, premature, meet planning type stuff

[Otacon]

Next year, I'm determined to pull my finger out and step up to the meet organising challenge. Figure it's about time I pulled my weight I have three ideas currently:

• Generic meet in the Midlands (we've not really had a proper one).
• Weekend of drunken debauchery and hardcore partying in a coastal town (be awesome, but would probably alienate those among us with a bus pass *ahem*) - Little sleep, little else but drinking and partying.
• Get the 'proper' clubbers together for a night. Catch an all nighter at passion or something and talk about how we remember when 'this classic came out first time round'.

General comments welcome of course, but I'm mainly after thoughts on the first option from the Midland folks.... In terms of venue. At the moment, I would struggle to choose between Birmingham (Broad street), Leicester (Mosh would be perfect to end in), or Loughborough (we had a great mini meet there a couple of years ago). There would be more to do in Birmingham during the day time, Leicester is probably more accessible (hotels in the town centre wont melt your wallet, and it's straight off the M1), and Loughborough has the student appeal (but again, might leave us short with the older peeps).

Anyway, this is not an early thread where things will get organised, this is just me thinking out loud.. into GD. Its quite possible I may even forget to do anything because I have that condition.. you know, whatsitsname.

Anyway, chat along

I'd come to a Midlands meet. Period.

 

[Otacon]

Which venue would you suggest, being as you qualify to comment

 

[Davey_Pitch]

I'd definitely be up for the first one as long as it didn't clash with anything. The second one, possibly, but I'm getting older now and don't have the stamina I used to. As for the 3rd option, I wouldn't do that, as I'm definitely not a hardcore clubber (you've seen me dance, I know you're not surprised ).

Why do Loughborough when Nottingham is so much easier for me (and better in every way).

Edit:

And Generic meet for me, because coastal town involves travelling far, and your idea of clubbing is vastly different to mine Otacon

 

[Brynn]

Weekend at a coastal town!

Gets my vote

Although I wouldn't mind too much whatever the venue was.

That's actually a good call. We had a Loughborough meet a couple of years ago (so I'm told ), and I've been a few times since then. Great venue.

I'd go for the most accesible place out of the 3. Im in liverpool and I'd happily hook up (yes im inviting myself) but obviously the easier it is to get to, the better.

I dont know which out of the 3 options you posted would fly the highest though, a vote maybe?

Birmingham would be venue of choice for the first, Aberystwyth for the second (I'm biased, admittedly, going to uni there, but its seaside, easily accesible by train for a coastal town, and at one point it had more pubs per square mile than anywhere else in Europe ).

I seem to see loads of people from Nottingham round here, but I'd be up for anything, literally. Clubbing is a good idea too.

Might do actually, as I should be lead by the masses.

My personal preference would be numero two, but the problem there is that I have no in depth knowledge of any prime candidates (Newquay etc), which could make it a pig to organise... then again, could be an excuse for an exploratory mission

Hmm, lets poll it.

 

[Blackstar]

When were you thinking about having it?

edit depending on my car situation i may come

Number 2 would be pretty good, but theres the practicality of it, wheres best etc.

Edit: after thinking this through some more, number 2 has my vote

I'll decide somewhere at the end of this meet season. Should have an idea of what's going on next year by then, and more importantly, when

I dont mind putting the legwork in of course, if its at least feesible.

[Brynn]

Hey Blackstar, If I am driving I could pick you up en-route

Even ones from the other end of the country?
