Forum meet up.

[JohnP]

if we are gonna meet up for just a lunch will it be ok to bring partners..?

 

It's OK by me... see what the rest say.

[JohnP]

A nice lunch and a chat sounds fine to me that way it doesnt really matter what the weather does

 

Maybe if the weather is nice we could have a leisurely stroll after without serious photography, just take a few snaps for the record.

[JohnP]

What needs to be decided is it going to be a lunch and a chat day with a tad of photography thrown in....or......a mainly photography day, with a short lunch or picnic?

If it's mainly a lunch and chat meet up the venue won't be as important as we won't need to worry about subject matter for photographs. Edited March 22, 2013 by JohnP

If we say no where does that leave Richard and Heather?

If mine wants to come then fine but I'm not sure she'll be interested.

[annie]

[JohnP]

... even with a sat nav i get lost...!

I thought only a dumb blonde would do that... not a dumb 'wotsit'....   

 

[annie]

[JohnP]

If we are to get a meet up organised we need a means of collecting names of interested members and some sort of calender on which to tick dates when we are available. There is this thing called Doodle: http://www.doodle.com/  but I can't for the life of me work out how to use it. A while ago I went on a meet up of members of another forum and one of the guys set up a calender using Doodle on which people could add their name and tick boxes of dates available, he then organised a meet up on the date with the most ticks. Has anyone on here ever come across or used Doodle who could try and set up such a calender?

Here's the calender he set up: http://www.doodle.com/uhfx4skpkdagd8nb

Thanks Phil.

Would you come if it was a little nearer? 

[Barbara]

Would you come if it was a little nearer? 

A lovely thought Phil  Best keep things central for the majority. It's a good five hour journey for me to Coventry and the the first hour and a half is before I even reach the M6 (Carlisle) LOL!!!

I have an Aunt in Coventry who is due a much overdue visit so who knows Depending again on dates.

[JohnP]

I haven't been to Scotland since 1973...   so another visit is long overdue. If a central meet up gets off the ground and is a success who know... maybe a  weekend meet up north of the border in the future could happen... figures crossed hey.

[Leon]

I'v arranged 2 meets for my forum, the first was at Kingsbury Water park in the midlands, the 2nd was sutton park, north Birmingham..just a suggestion, as someone who loves driving providing it was the beginning of the month I'd be there (monthly paid)

[Beth]

This sounds like a good idea, that's if "returner's to photography" are

welcome lol.

No hols planned, just need to see how far I need to travel.

[Phil]

that's if "returner's to photography" are welcome

 

Everyone is welcome, new members or old  

[annie]

Wow....yes lets get a central meet up and then do a further afield one...i really don't think anyone should be lumbered with me for a weekend until they survive the day....i am ever so clumsy and accident prone...

[Leon]

so come on someone suggest a day, please work round BTCC please :) and 5th may, and may bank holiday   can see a pattern forming

[JohnP]

Leave the calendar with me for now John.
