Can we have a meet a little higher up in the country?? (UK)
i know people are organising meets in what i refer to as "the south" yes, i think birmingham is south, i know technically it's not. i'm in the NORTH EAST & the last meet up here was WGW in november, but i actually only saw DragonGirl & that was only cos i recognised her hair as i was walking past somewhere.
You guys look like you had fun at the london meet, but london is an 8 hour drive away for me, the train is quicker but it's a tad pricey.....so any ideas on an "up north" meet??? where i live is no good, cos there's nothing to do really. but i was thinking, maybe YORK, NEWCASTLE. etc in about AUGUST???
Yes......no?????
*~*~*ONCE THERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR A VOTE*~*~*
SO....shall we say suggestions until 31st of MArch & then we can vote?

I'd be happy to have a meet higher up to the country.
I'd prefer Leeds, because the route there is much easier from where I am. But York isn't too much further. I'd just have to look at bus routes and stuff.
I've not been to York in such a long while. What kind of shops and stuff are there in York?

We have a Disney shop in Oldham>.<
I know Tom's been to York so I will probably give him the second degree on what there is to do.

What about Scotland? But I guess that'll be too far north for most people!
York is a fantastic place! I love it. Lots of interesting old stuff

the lake district is huge, but there are many pretty places. but might be difficult for some to get to?
maybe blackpool, it abit out dated, but worth an option.
i think we should have a manc meet any way, theres a fer few of us from round there?

Re: Can we have a meet a little higher up in the country?? (UK)
oooo a Toon meet would be good!
im in sunderland for most of the year so if im up north in august ill come to the meet(i generally go back and forth over the summer because of having no uni)
id like to put forward Durham as a suggestion for a place to meet too
*edit* if im driving and have sorted a car out by then id be happy to give people lifts depending on where im leaving from

Re: Can we have a meet a little higher up in the country?? (UK)
lol these meets always happen at the opposite end of the country to where I am.. when there's a london meet I'm at uni in bradford, when there's one further north I'll be at home in Reading!

Re: Can we have a meet a little higher up in the country?? (UK)
I believe there was supposed to be a Manc meet last year, with the possibility of a mass photo shoot, but alas it didn't happen. There was a meet somewhere up in the midlands/"north" (everything is north to me as I'm right down the bottom of the country lol) I'm sure - I remember seeing photos of it on the old forum... hmm.. must have been a while ago now.Miss Cydonia wrote:I dont think Ive ever heard mention of a meeting in Manchester yet-odd??
Also, wasn't there supposed to be a Birmingham meet just before xmas/just after xmas? I missed what happened with that. Will be so much easier when we have the meet sub-forum to keep track of all this hehe

blackpool would be a bad idea-for so many reasons (take it from a native) But manchester would be brill
