HEXUS.social - somewhere - 2nd or 16th (or both) August 2008

tiggerai · 02-07-2008, 08:50 AM

So, we need a meet, I need one, you need one, we all need one.

I'm not gonna choose a location as we'll see if we can work out where is best for everyone to get to that weekend.

That means you've gotta be willing to travel a bit BUT we'll see if we can get some car sharing going on.

So, where shall we go?

(can you post wehre you're coming FROM too, so that we can find other people in your area to share petteril costs)

Tiggerai - Milton Keynes

Usual rules apply enough notice so I can arange work cover etc, other than that, pretty flexible and can even take 3 passengers (N.B one passenger isnt allowed to have legs)

As to location?! ER......?

Just noticed you've posted the date, il work on shift swapping

Rasta = Newbury/Reading/Basingstoke Area

99Flake · 02-07-2008, 09:00 AM

Nooo, not the 2nd

That is the weekend I am off to the International Motor Show at Excel.

Unless you want to have a Hexus.shinynewcarmeet?

tiggerai · 02-07-2008, 09:21 AM

Maybe I'll split the country then... one north - one south.

Dunno... need to see who's free on those weekends.

rastamanblues · 02-07-2008, 09:22 AM

I voted for both

When you say Split how north and how south etc?!

And no im not being difficult on purpose!

tiggerai · 02-07-2008, 09:23 AM

I voted for both too.

Bit silly putting a date if I can't make it...

Salazaar · 02-07-2008, 09:28 AM

I've got to vote for the 16th, I'll be far to busy gearing up for Ibiza on the 2nd (though I'll probably be exhausted and bankrupt by the 16th).

99Flake · 02-07-2008, 09:43 AM

I have voted for both dependent on where the one on the 2nd is. If you are up North on that weekend I can make the 16th.

99Flake - Tunbridge Wells, Kent

I could potentially do both but depends to an extent what will be happening with work

Same as what Guy said:

I'm okay to take 4 other people, although one person will not have much leg room.

EDIT: On the travelling front that could be an issue I don't really want to go to far affield, and i'll also state now I'm not driving into London as its a nightmare and why bother with the excellent train and underground services

**Lee @ SCAN** · 02-07-2008, 10:39 AM

Moi - Manchester.

North I can get trains etc to places so that's no real issue

Gerrard · 02-07-2008, 12:05 PM

I'd prefer the 16th, but should be able to make the 2nd as well.

Gerrard - Birmingham-Telford area. Can take 4 people as well. Am not bothered by how far to travel (disposable income FTW!)

JK Ferret · 02-07-2008, 06:29 PM

Me = Bristol

If there's a train that goes there from Bristol, or to someone else who driving there, I can make it.

I voted for both, but it's provided I know 2 weeks before (so my boss doesn't have a chance to include me in the rota)
I'd prefer the 16th too, but 2nd is just as workable.

You could get the Bristol - Reading train, and I could pick you up at the station?

Not sure on prices, but it takes just over an hour which isnt too bad?

Yeah that sounds cool, it'll be mebbe £12 or less each way, so quite within reason (especially seeing as it's payday on the 6th)

Just so long as I don't fall asleep and end up in London

Thats not bad actually. Certainly better than the Reading - Paddington fair, an eye wattering £48!

Closer to the time give me an aprox time so I can work my timings out.
