*What Kind of Venue for WP London-Meet this Summer?*

Post Reply New Topic

Braziers http://www.braziers.org.uk/Braziers%20B ... 202009.pdf

just mailed to say they have had two cancellations, on the two weekends of Friday 14 - Sun 16 and Friday 21 - 23 August.

They only have 4 single rooms, but 5 twins, ( aswell as 2 doubles ) and 4 family, for people ready to share, and virtually limitless camping for people who prefer tents.

Rates are:

Full Board for a weekend/2 nights is: Single room: £135, Sharing : £115, Camping : £95.

Camping is £6/night and meals are £5 breakfast, £10 Lunch, and Dinner £12.50.

So anyone who would prefer Braziers, which is out in the countryside, ( between Reading and Oxford, and 20-25 minutes bus ride plus an hour's train from London ), either of those two weekends, please post too, after looking at the Royal Holloway College option, above.

Last call for anyone of the original 30+ people who wanted a London/S.E. UK meet! Until someone else tries to organise one that is.

PS. Please read and respond to the above two posts as soon as possible if you really are interested, so that I can reply to these places. I do not want to seem casual/impolite/inconsiderate and leave them hanging on indefinitely, especially as Braziers made the effort to get back to me about the cancellations. Thank you.

Can I still count on misslottie, Ligea Seroua, and KenG, aswell as ShadesofMe and OWA, anna-banana, audioeyes, ManErg, Lotusblossom, drcancerman, maybe alba, pbcoll, Erminea, and a couple of others who posted earlier on the threads about this, to be interested in at least one of these dates and/or places?

I am interested in, willing and able to come to a London meet at Royal Holloway College, on the weekend of Saturday 29 - Sunday 30 August.
I am also willing and able to come to Braziers on the the two weekends of Friday 14 - Sun 16 and Friday 21 - 23 August.

sadly I cannot say yes as I do not know if I will have teh money better chance of making it to the next one.

ouinon,
...a lot of work for you, eh?
Sorry, cross me off the list. Checked on airfare a couple weeks ago....can't afford it this year. I did notice the cheaper fares are $200 less in Sept versus Aug.

My only other option at the moment is Pennsylvania, and not too thrilled about it. Would you happen to know if there are any Canadian meetups for this summer?

I can definately do Royal Holloway.
If it all implodes, I would still like to attend some kind of meet up, even if its just something like a picnic

I am certainly interested, but I am not sure if I can afford it.


However, I will say, it will be nice if photos or videos were taken, so the rest of us can enjoy the trip as much has you will

i am def on for camping.

It does rather seem to have imploded!

I found out, yesterday, that there is a Meet-Up-Thread on the Social Skills and Making Friends forum/section, and that people from London and the S.E are already getting together on an occasional basis, ( every few weeks ), so if you mentioned a picnic on there you might get some response.

Lotusblossom organised the last couple of meets, and apparently they were a success. So for people who live close enough to London to do a day-meet that would probably be the solution.

However I live in France and can't afford to travel to London for just a half, or even whole, day . The main reason for planning a "European WP Meet-Up in London" was so that people who live too far away for that sort of thing could actually experience a gathering of WP members over a couple of days.

And at one point at least 30 people voted to say that they would be interested.

But it doesn't, after all, look as if enough people on WP are into travelling or anything more than local/regional day meets for this to happen. So I will let the two venues above know there is simply not enough interest and apologise for having taken up their time.

Perhaps next year.

And 7 or 8 of us, at least, have the long-weekend meet-up in Avignon, France, at the end of May, to look forward to. Anyone who likes the sound of a short holiday in the South of France, lazily drinking coffees/wine at café terraces in the sunshine, etc, is very welcome!

Morocco instead anyone?

Just fantasising here!

Ryanair London-Luton to Marrakesh Friday 25 September ( August would be way too hot ) Return Monday 28 Sept : £116
Ryanair Marseille to Marrakesh ( this is for me!) Thursday 24 Sept Return Tuesday 29 Sept : £101

... sigh ...

I wish...sadly I'll be bothering neurons in the lab .

Such a shame, you had put a lot of work in. Thank you, anyway

It was an interesting experience; I now know about lots of lovely places for holding a big-meet-up that I didn't before! And doing the research and sending all the e-mails asking for info has given me confidence in my ability to do something like this in the future, so maybe next year?!

There is still Autscape, for anyone wanting a really big ( 60 + ) AS event in London in August. I'm thinking about it again. So long as not too many of us are interested! ( apparently a "group" from WP would swamp them; they haven't got as much space this year as last. )

Heya. I would like to come to the WP London meet-up. I live in West London so I won't be far away. My family useally go camping during the summer but when we're not doing that it would be nice to meet up with some people with a simerler condition as me. I'm quite new to Wrong Planet and I'm 18. I'll stick around for updates and I could help with hotel and travel research for west london if you want me to. I'm happy to do that in my spare time.
