Calling all UK members

Okay UK people, where are you located and would you be interested in a meeting in a convenient loaction.

How far are people prepared to travel and any limitations (e.g. Public transport)?

Weekend or Weekday?

I will look at finding picturesque place, no promises and an eatery (No macdonalds!).

Send me your details either as a response here or in an e-mail to roger.reading@readingr.com or a private message.

Anyone visiting the UK on the dates we setup are always welcome.

Roger

Hi Roger .. you know I'm up for it - anywhere in the SE really. Just that (being a clerical type gentleman) Sundays are usually out. Most other times can be arranged though.

Cheers
Mike

Me too, Roger.
Near Basingstoke is great after work, I'll be in the car.

I'd love to be included in the meeting too but what makes it difficult for me is having so many kids!
Plus I don't want to go into central London.

Roger ... Overbeyond and Walterick both live in this corner of the world. Maybe worth a PM in case they don't see this thread?

Walterick lives in the desert :) He would love to attend, but he doesn't have enough money yet. Maybe the next time. He did give you guys a sticky though :wink:

Bah, a nice Ohio meet would be better. :P

Walterick - oops sorry :D Just that I recall something about you from when I tried something similar.

Cheers
Mike

Tel,

Hmmm, Might be a bit far for a weekend trip:cryin: , I'll check it out though:rolleyes:

Roger

XD. A Bit far? like... across the Atlantic ocean far. Or is it the Pacific? I've never been good with oceans.

I think there are like 3 or 4 members from around or in Ohio.

Thanks for the sticky, so far there are four of us now hunting through the books for a suitable venue. Will post something in the next day or two.

Roger

My Air Force son will be in Korea for a year, then he will be stationed in England for 4 years. So, in about 12-24 months I will be ready to join a UK gathering. That would be fun and I will certainly put it on my long range plan list. Hmm I guess that means I need to hang around more. Though Waltrick, PhotoJohn and a few others can verify that I'm ok. :D

Yeah, she'll do :) Nice to see you again Deborah. How's the business?

...

I'm gonna leave this up for another week, unless you guys can pull something together to show you've got some plans in the works.

Rick

walterick - me and readingr are meeting up for lunch tomorrow - it was to have been last week, but work commitments forced a postponement. Hopefully there will be something to report.

Sorry, my fault - work and sailing got in the way.

Location - at this point is in the Godstone area just off the M25 which is about halfway from Paul and Alison. The final location will be dependant on the weather - there are a few locations we can use:

Quebec House and the Emmetts Gardens
Hever Castle
Haxted Mill
Bough Beech Reservoir - wildlife
Weir Wood reservoir - wildlife

Because of Paul and my Diary it looks like mid to end September so how about 15th September?

Roger

Sept 15th is ok by me - I have tentatively put it in the diary, subject to other people finding the same date ok.

Cheers
Mike

Looks like I am going to be able to come too. :thumbsup:

Excellent Alison! :p

Mike

Nice :) Have fun guys.

Paul,

Are you available on this date? and is the location okay for you. If you prefer stop off at Basingstoke and I'll drive the rest of the way.

Roger

Are there any NW/NE UK members or is it all south of England?

Roger

As we are now just a month and a little bit away, can we confirm the date and place?

Mike
