Provisional Plans for 2009

[tiggerai]

Well, it's November 2008 already so I'm starting to think of Social plans for next year.

Social - 5/6 Meets - I am trying to aim for some where in each of the 4 corners of the country!

Reading
London
Birmingham
Milton Keynes (Bletchley Park) - I will pull this one back in the year in 2009 so that it may be better weather for a pic-a-nic.
Leeds/York
Manchester
If I have the funds too I may do another Glasgow meet

LAN - 3 LANs (TBC)

Feb, August and November

More details as I flesh them out!

[Moby-Dick]

Don't forget Annual Pilgrimage to BP

[tiggerai]

Added, didn't forget about it... just overlooked it!

[Funkstar]

Sounds good. As usual I'll try and make what I can.

[Steve B]

Rai, Jen and I were planning on having you and Ade up for the weekend again after Jen's finals in May, so dont worry too much about funds

[tiggerai]

Hmm ok... alright if I arrange a meet the same weekend?? Or will that mess plans up?

[Steve B]

go for it

[tiggerai]

Coolio... let me know nearer the time when Jen's finished and we'll sort something out!

[JK Ferret]

No SW? Or is that the (possible) Glasgow meet?

[tiggerai]

Kyle. I'm going to buy you a map of the british isles for xmas.

Reading is the possible SW as it's a little more central but still a bit SW.

Sounds good what is planned! Especially Reading as its on my doorstep so to speak I'm pretty sure I can also make MK, Birmingham, Manchester and possibly London. Toying with the idea of going to a LAN but I'd only really be interested in console gaming which from what I've seen LAN's don't cater for.

There is a fair bit of console gaming, a few people bring there 360's/PS3's, theres usually some GH3 going in on the background.

But you really cant beat some generals/RTS action, and the huge trackmaina sesions, if you play either of these on a console then your doing it wrong

If thats trackmania nations your referring to then i'm up for that, quite a fan of it I also have C & C/ DoW anthology. Might have a bit more of a think about it provided the price is right.

I loled

Any chance of Reading being quite early next year, and a vote for Newcastle as I know there are quite a few Northerners like Ferral etc

(also would save me travelling as I'm moving back up from Reading to Newcastle next year lol)

[tiggerai]

When are you last in Reading? May time??

Newcastle is a pain in the lol for me to get to though... it would be an epic trip. I'll see what I can do - if I can get some sponsorship then it may be worth it... just all of the options are a bit expensive.

Possibly earlier than that, need to check my work contract and my housing contract, can't remember when my last date of employment is right now (and around May I am likely to be away at a different company)

It's not that bad price wise

MK to London or Birmingham (probably Birmingham) then up to Newcastle, if you get tickets in advance its less than £60 with a railcard, probably £40 or less if you get it at the best day possible.
