That sounds awesome. I'd be happy to go there.

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 3/20/2010 12:55:01 AM EDT

Anyone up for arranging this meet so we can all hop in a car, and truck it down to the Holland worthmeet afterwards?

I can also possibly make it to something earlier in July, it's just that I don't have the exact dates of my summer vacation yet, so I have no idea what day I'll be flying in

ama168 said 1 year ago 3/20/2010 2:13:01 PM EDT

Are we any closer to a firm date and location? :D

Hull Amsterdam ferry....overnight service ;-)

ama168 said 1 year ago 3/20/2010 2:54:48 PM EDT

I did not know that. :P

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 3/20/2010 7:19:06 PM EDT

how about 17t/18th? I should be there by then, or the next weekend, which would be even more certain?

(I won't be buying my ticket until May probably so I can't be 100% certain of my fly date)

ama168 said 1 year ago 3/27/2010 4:20:31 PM EDT

Anyone?

Craigr1978 said 1 year ago 3/28/2010 12:54:29 PM EDT

The fringe is great fun, but its very hard to get a hotel room without booking well in advance.

I'd vote for London as I doubt I'll be able to make it up to Edinburgh this year.

ama168 said 1 year ago 3/28/2010 4:58:20 PM EDT

London would work for me.

I just have to have some advanced notice of when. :)

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 3/28/2010 6:40:00 PM EDT

I'd have to say London for me. Apparently I won't be far, and I'm already going to Holland and maybe Germany. Adding Scotland to this might be a little much.

What weekend is Fringe? Might be best to avoid that one if it's going to be hard to find places to stay (that is if anyone really needs a place to stay).

What are other options for things to do? Aside from meeting for coffee?

July 20-25th is probably out for me, and whenever the Holland worthmeet is happening. I'd say tentatively that the 9th/10th or 16th/17th is best. Whichever weekend the Holland meet is on, we pick the other one? the 30th/31st should also be ok

secretatlantis said 1 year ago 3/29/2010 4:04:32 AM EDT

I think the Holland Meet will be 10/11 as that date seems to suit most people.

richardbrown said 1 year ago 4/5/2010 6:04:25 AM EDT

I thinkk london would be good because you have,
tower bridge, london Isle, Canary warf, london bridge, you got the O2 arena, thames and from chrystal palace you can get a good view of the city and countless places to shoot.

I went on a night shoot on satrday but i only get to tower bridge beccause the rain washes me out. But im going back soon. I will post one or 2 of my photos later when i get back home

Supagray said 1 year ago 4/9/2010 3:22:21 PM EDT

So did we all just forget about this? Any decision on a date/location?

Supagray said 1 year ago 4/10/2010 6:39:40 PM EDT

Helloooooo???

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 4/10/2010 8:14:15 PM EDT

Um like I said, I'd be ok with any weekend that isn't the 10th/11th

Just name a location

Yes me too - as long as I can get a cheap Ryanair flight, preferably from Prestwick.

You could fly from Prestwick to Stanstead and from there to Eindhoven.
There are almost connecting flights available ;)

I am not sure about the cheap part of it.

Craigr1978 said 1 year ago 6/19/2010 1:20:40 PM EDT

Just a bit of a bump - did we ever pin down a date?!

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 6/19/2010 6:46:45 PM EDT

Ok, here's where it stands right now:

We have London as the likely candidate, no specific place or date.

Here are some possibles:

17th/18th
24th/25th
31st/1st

If you guys can pick on weekend you like, or one you can't go to I'll get going on a list and pms similar to what I did for the Holland worthmeet so we can get things organized.

And incidentally if someone here really wants to go to the Holland worthmeet you are welcome to hop in the car I'm going in if you can make it to Gatwick airport on Saturday the 10th. THere's extra camping equipment too.

Dimfja said 1 year ago 6/26/2010 3:27:19 AM EDT

Looking a bit ropey for July. Can't commit to any weekend at the mo alas. 31/1 may be my best bet but dependant on work.
Sorry not to be more definate but lifes a bit hectic about now.

Arena Moderatoregonlinden said 1 year ago 7/16/2010 2:46:36 AM EDT

I was wondering.
Did you guys ever have the UK Worthmeet or did it pass by in silence?

When you postpone it to August there could maybe even be a chance that we (me and the family) drop by as well.
We have the month of August vacation and have no real plans yet.

Qofcheez said 1 year ago 7/16/2010 4:14:35 AM EDT

August is good for me, any weekend.

Sorry, I forgot to take my medication today
Arena Moderatoregonlinden said 1 year ago 8/6/2010 2:17:42 PM EDT

Next week (Thursday) we will leave for the UK for a family vacation.
We will have a pretty full schedule but in the evening we might be able to squeeze in a mini worthmeet if there is someone nearby.
I don't know the exact places we will be staying in but I know what attractions we will be visiting.
On Friday the 13th we will be in d**kens World (Chatham).
On either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday (depending on the weather, but probably the 16th) we will be in Drayton Manor. We will be in the area for 3 full days.
On Wednesday and Friday (18 and 19) we will be near Dover before driving back on Friday.

So who is on the area and wants to meet in the evening?
