Chris Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 We should have a TGTAP meetup somewhere between London and south of the Midlands, or maybe actually somewhere around London if it's easier. UPDATE 16/12/2009: Okay so I decided to split this topic from the big community thread so we can discuss this properly. It seems we have a number of members that are interested in meeting up, so far all from the UK. Any Europeans who don't mind flying to the UK for this are of course welcome too. In this topic we can perhaps decide on a time period (Easter maybe?) and location (London?) and also what we might do while there. Confirmed Attending: No one yet! Possibly Attending: Chris Bear Gerard MrLlamaLlama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I vote for London. That would be pretty epic I must say. We must do this, we always say we will but it never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 London sounds good to me. I have a form of transport alternative to buses and trains now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Now I live in the UK that would be good. Would have to be sometime during a holiday though. Maybe just go out for a meal and something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Llama if we do indeed meet in London though would you really drive there? Insane trying to park, plus all the traffic and shit. Even if I get off my lazy arse and pass my driving test I think I'd still probably get a train there... despite the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Depends really. If I'm travelling for only 1 long day, I'd take the train, because it's a bit cheaper than petrol. But paying for trains over 2 days is a bitch, plus if I'm planning to stay I'd presumably have somewhere to put the car. As for driving in and around London, I'll do what I do on most normal roads... put it to the test and hope for the best :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I think its a good idea, atleast with London I think there is a direct train from anywhere in the country. We could all spend the day there. I am biased for London as I live 50 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Okay just split this topic off from the big community thread, updated the first post explaining that. London has already been suggested as a location. I'm fine with that since there's plenty we can do down there, even if the underage folks among you attend. However, it might not be good for everyone - do feel free to suggest an alternative location if London doesn't suit you. We'll basically choose the location suited to the most people. Once a location is decided we can start planning it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Sounds like a good plan. I'm 30mins from London, so I'd probably vote for that! Bit of a bitch to get anywhere though, and to find a good place to eat or whatever, so maybe would be better someone smaller like Reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Reading also good, well close to London anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You lazy moo. How about Brighton so I can be just as lazy. There is alot to do in London, I love how I will be the only female, poor little me and my different female DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 London's not particularly inconvenient, not sure where the rest of you are right now but as long as it's not much farther south than that the travelling shouldn't be too heavy.

Bear Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Where is everyone from in the UK? I'm probably the most Southern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'll either be around Gloucester or Stafford depending on time of year. Most likely Stafford. But that's fine for a train to somewhere south. Bear, and you're the only UK female here! Perhaps if anyone coming has a gf (or sister? lol) they can bring her along to prevent a sausage fest. Bear does a good job of keeping this from happening here, I'm sure she'd appreciate a little help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Meh I dont mind, am I slag? no, I just prefer male company and find you guys more entertaining then girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 The GF will probably be either working or going on holiday somewhere if it's in a term break :/ Also I'm as near as makes no difference in Milton Keynes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wish I could, I'm on holiday and I would be allowed to go to London in July. I'll probably go to the one after this one, I doubt it would cost me much, about £20 a flight with EasyJet or Ryanair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 meh let it be a sausage fest plus me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I can come in May and virtually any weekend after July 11th. What I could do, if Mpilk (since he lives near Edinburgh) wants to, is discuss with him what we could do, i.e. what flight, train or coach. I may be too young for you guys but it's worth a shot, besides I've been wanting to visit my cousins for a while now and I could do that if I do this... Another couple of suggestions for the location from me are: York Newcastle Edinburgh (Lazy me) or alternatively you could arrange several trips throughout 2010 to different cities to let people who can't go to one place, go to another and meet you. Although far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I hope I can make it there with you guys, as long as I have enough dough and stuff so that I can join you guys there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 London is a while away from where I am and I doubt I would be allowed to get a plane to go there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 A train would likely be the best choice of transport then, for everyone actually. We could all meet at a train station just to make things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nah nah nah... You guys come over to this side of the lake, like say.... Daytona Florida..... And we can get crazy drunk in a hotel room, and drown in the ocean from stupidity. Just like spring break. Only cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Buy me a plane ticket and it's a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
