Manchester Meet (with added date-iness)

Manchester Meet

Well as one or two know, I've had major mood swings at my parents for saying all the meets are too far away!! So my solution is to have a meet in Mancehster so that all the Northerners that struggle to get to Nos etc can play host(ess).

After talking to Miss Kitty it looks like November would be the best month (September & October are pretty full and December is Christmas etc)

Also, I've found some info on the Fab Cafe which claims to be Cult TV themed so I was thinking of checking it out & then maybe using it as a meeting place?

So all we need to know is:
a) who's interested?
b) which weekend?
c) which people in Mancehster can offer beds etc?
d) any special requests on what to do?

I can personally offer 2, maybe 3 beds and a tent that sleeps another 2 to 3.

Edit: 23rd of November seems most likely right now, any problems with that? Just want to sort it so anyone who needs to can try and get the time off

A) Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

B) Any weekend is fine by me, coz it's not far....
C) ....although maybe a tad too far to offer beds, but if you're desperate...
D) Drinkies sound good, and I think some people have a persuasion towards karaoke

I'll be up for this. I've got numerous people pestering me to go up to Manchester anyway. Plus, my first ever BuffyUK meet was in Manchester so it'll be like reminiscing or something!

The Fab Cafe is a very, very cool place! I spent quite a bit of time there in my student days! Karaoke is also a very cool idea, though I don't know the whereabouts of any karaoke places in Manchester. There's also Laserquest for those that way inclined, and a whole heap of other stuff besides! Oh, and lots of pubs with non-London prices!

So, yeah, if I can make it I'll be there!

Lioness A stranger is simply a friend you haven't met yet.

I'd probably be up for this just remember that Bitten is happening in Birmingham on 2nd, 3rd and 4th November so please avoid planning it for that weekend as I know a number of people from this board were planning on coming along to that.

Dangermouse One more word from you , and i'll bitch slap you so hard, your children will be born well-behaved.

Just let me know the when and shall try and be there - work permitting

SPIKE "Hakuna Matata" Captain Zapy

i'll have to see on my money but i'd be up for it.

Ferretgirl Make something idiot-proof and they will make a better idiot

i might be able to come to this - all depending on the date and whether or not i've got MOC's

But since it's only an hour away - there's a potential "Yay" from me

Jayjay "I may be scattered / A little shattered / What does it matter / No one has a fit like I do / I'm the only one that fits you"

I'd absolutely love to do this (even if 'tis wrong side o'Pennines

) but at the moment I'm down to work every weekend in November.

However, as usual, give us a date and I'll try and get someone to cover my shift. I would need some crash space, though.

Yvonne I was nothing more than an almost innocent bystander.

Depending on dates, I'm a "yes."
My brother will be back in Salford by then so it would be fantastic if I could get him to come along. He's just spent a year in Japan with Uni (comes back in 2 weeks-ish) so it would do him good to meet some nice UK people again

So...

a. Me
b. Any November weekend
c. Not me, but I might need one please *flutters eyelashes*
d. Drink, kareoke, drink, eat, drink, bowling, drink, LaserQuest, drink and lots of giggling please

So we can't do the 2nd coz of Bitten, and I guessing that Nos will be on the 9th?

So we're looking at the 16th or 23rd. Which is best with you guys?

Sydney You can lead the whore to culture but you can't make her think!

deffo up for this and could even have a hand in organising things. As for accomodation there is a walkabout that do rooms for up to three poeple for under Â£40 a night i think, i can look into it if people are intersted

That'll be good, coz the last train back is like 11pm and the fun will only just be starting then, and I'm not doing your trick and getting a black cab from Manchester to Darwen!!!

Sydney You can lead the whore to culture but you can't make her think!

actually if there were five or six of us that wouldn't be too bad, or we could arrange a minibus... just a few ideas there

I could accomodate, although I have only one spare bed, but I do have a comfy settee, but then peeps would have to lug a bag round Manchester all night, unless they came to mine first and we went from there.

OK then I can accomodate as many people as you can fit in a house as long as you fetch sleeping bags

I don't know who this will apply to but its Remembarance on the weekend of the 23rd (just something to remember incase you go to see family or whatever).

I really enjoyed the streatham bowling, and seeing as some of you who were there will be here, I'm up for it!!!
And if you want any help I actually live and work in Manchester, though I know that you young pups have life sorted

, so I'll just keep me grey balding head out of it then!!!

But just remember I can party!!!!! lol

Im confused as to the dates thought , being Blonde , was it November

Yep, one Saturday night in November (hmmm beginning of a really bad american horror film methinks) But probably not either of the first two (due to Bitten & probable Nos)
