    Plans for 2008...

    Well, i'm gonna carry on organising, but things will be a bit more erratic than 2007.

    I WILL be doing a meet in the following Cities:

    Birmingham: 23rd Feb 2008
    London: 26th April (TBC)
    Bristol or Cardiff: 28th June (TBC)
    A weekend in August (TBC as I'll be away at some point)
    A weekend in October
    A weekend in November/December (Won't be my birthday again though as I'll be in Switzerland for that!)

    Maybe's are:

    Cambridge / Norwich / somewhere "east" - just need to find some more eastern hexites.
    Liverpool (Capital of Culture 2008, so probably worth a visit this year...) - this will cover North West.
    Possibly North east somewhere, but it's not particularly easy for me to get to.
    Scootland again - where they talk funny and have odd monies

    I don't like to moan, but I don't appreciate travelling to the end of the country to meet people, when I could have gone somewhere much closer and cheaper to get to.
    I will only be going somewhere if I get enough interest, otherwise I'll call it off... I'm not made of money and these meets take a lot of my time and money to organise... which only gets paid off when people bother to turn up. I'm not unemployed, I don't sit at home all day doing nothing but organising meets!

    Here's to a good 2008!

    I'd be up for Birmingham as I really want to meet people from the forums plus it will get me out of my uni house, I was gutted I missed the Manchester one last year.

    Norwich sounds like a rather good idea, may well be room on my floor if needed

    Just because you want to spend time out of the country Funkstar

    I'm not that worried about going to Norway, but not sure we've got any new hexus members to meet out there.

    Re: Plans for 2008...

    Actually that plan could have a bit of a stumbling block.

    But anyway I like Norway, it's a great country

    (And I couldn't think where else to post that story )

    Re: Plans for 2008...

    and the main issue...

    rairai can't afford it.

    Dave, we'll do norwich then, if I can find enough people from that area to warrant it.

    Digit... there is another thread for Birmingham in this forum... post in there so I know you're interested and then I know who I have to PM!

    I may change Bristol to cardiff as they're quite close anyway and it'll make a nice change.
