Poll: OcUK Meet

[Feek]

I'm tempted to organise an Edinburgh meet, since obviously it is the best place in the world.

And you know I'd be there. Again.

I could make that!

 

[Blackstar]

It probably won't be until June 08 because i have **** loads of work to do for uni but i will get round to it.

 

[gumbald]

A Leeds meet would also be awesome, but I've got far too much work this year to consider organising

 

[James07]

I could make anywhere tbh if im driving, i dont care about distance if i have a car...

Right, since the poll is quite tight, I think it'd be good just to limit everyone to those two options and see where we end up.

Can't and won't are 2 very different things

It was intended as a delete as applicable thing.

Sounds like a plan but if someone local doesn't take over though, will people go against the majority and go with the second highest location on the list? Someone that wants to take control should do. Set a place and date, go from there.

Well I suppose there is that problem. Perhaps we should say that the winning location has a certain number of votes in hand over the next placed location and if someone local is willing to organise a meet then we'll go there. If not we go to the second location and so on and so on until we end up in Iraq.

If the winning location doesn't have a certain majority, we could just run the top two again in a poll and see which wins the tie off.

Good idea. I wouldnt mind london, never been, alton towers has been blessed with my presence around 8 times?

Used to go with school every year, 4 years on the trot... then been with fam a few times.

you know something... no one said blackpool as a destination... too far north?

 

[Rich1988]

I think alton towers is a good idea, we are bound to split up for the time we are there maybe stick in groups of 2/3 whatever but as long as we all meet up for food/ drinks/bbq afterwards I think it could work pretty well

 

[James07]

Well, we just keep contact nums dont we and just ring around find out whats happening and ring people who are lost, not around, etc... let them know... wouldnt be an issue tbh.

Also, people who have voted on one of the above cant revote!

not an issue i like what ive choosen anyway, alton for the win baby!!

Night all.

Alton Towers is a nightmare to get to, its all rural roads and London is too far.

 

[A.N.Other]

From a getting there perspective, London is probably the easier option.

 

[da_mic_1530]

gah, london or alton towers? imo bad choice, have to wait till another venue then

 

[4T5]

In the past MatBlack has taken it upon himself to organise some utterly brilliant meets, the only roles mods played in them was to show up and get drunk.

She's right you know

Off Topic.
Anyone got any Land in the Midlands ???

Agreed.

London would be pretty easy, something like

Saturday am - Anyone that arrived on Friday eve/Sat morning can stroll around Oxford Street or do touristy stuff. Aim to meet at lunchtime around Oxford Street/TCR/Holborn area

Have lunch, then maybe walk up to Russell Square to do some bowling (always a laugh) plus they have pool tables and a decent bar (most important!)

Aprés bowling walk back into West end for food & drinks, tons of choices like Chinatown, TGI Fridays and suchlike. Then after that hit somewhere like an O'neills, cheesy tunes and more drinks. All pretty much suitable for everyone in my experience - however you'd likely need enough 'locals' up for it to provide a focal point for everyone else to join in.

Alton Towers would be cool too, obviously best thing being that no-one needs to 'organise' it so to speak, you pick a date and everyone turns up!

 

[gumbald]

I'd rather go to London than Alton Towers, there's just more choice

 

[Tysonator]

shall we not have some Regional meets first, than trying to do a 1 big meet. As you can not pick 1 place that is going to OK for everyone.
Then people can choose to go to 1 or 2 regional meets !

Only a thought !

 

[Vix]

To the people who are unhappy about the two choices above, why not just arrange a somewhere close to you? People would turn up!!

We have had two very local meets for the past two Fridays (they ended up back at my house!). There are always people willing to meet other OcUKers.

I've just voted for London above and tipped the vote 17-18!

 

[Piggymon]

If AT gets chosen, I've organised 3 Alton Towers meets, I would be happy to help with another one
