Universal Britboard meetup 1-2.Apr.2006

[Loopy 5]

well we might be better off moving this thread across to the appropriate forum, or starting a new one then - if we are going to be this organised

 

Blimey... think we have all been over here for too long :lol:

[bbulldog 6]

yes start up a new one thats a better idea with a ref. from here...

[Purple Muffin 265]

 

No need Muffin, I'll save you the effort

Ha Neil I just rang them!!! They are sending me the details!!!

 

The guy said 145€ plus MWST for a two hour trip and that the smallest train they had took up to 30 people.

 

Off the top of my head I can probably already think of 15 people who would want to come along!

 

So yes we would be looking at about 10€ a head plus drinks not at all bad really.

yes start up a new one thats a better idea with a ref. from here...

How do I do that???

[bbulldog 6]

start a new thread and post the link here...

if you start the thread i will post the link.. OK

[Purple Muffin 265]

right will do!!!

Ok so after a few discussions over on the cleaning lady thread we thought it might be nice to organise a universal meetup again.

 

Frankfurt has been suggested as the place as it is quite central for a few people and reasonably easy to get to.

 

We were thinking of some time in April and would like to set a date sooner rather than later so people coming from a bit further afield can make the necessary travel/hotel arrangements. So if you would like to come and there are any weekends you cannot make in April please say now!

 

I assume we will just do a poll of the favourite dates and go with the majority

 

One possible idea is to take a ride on the Ebbelwoi Expreß

But of course any other suggestions people may have are also welcome!

 

Oh and for those Frankfurters who have heard me say 'this is the last time I organise anything' you know I didn't mean it really don't you :P

Right, time to put my German "organised fun" hat on...

 

I would be able to make it either on the 1st or the 8th of April.

 

And don't forget when casting your votes, 14-17 April is Easter.

[Purple Muffin 265]

Yep had taken Easter into consideration!!! I was thinking maybe after Easter but I am reasonably flexible!

[maaph 3]

just my pennies worth ...

 

I am up for it (meetup would be good too), but April is as far as I know Easter (15th-16th), which means school holidays and may exclude people with kids.

[bbulldog 6]

well looking at the calendar we have for Sat-Sunday

1-2nd

8-9th

15-16th - Easter

22-23rd

29-30th

then maybe even May

6-7th

13-14th

 

so it might be worth making a list of who can come on what dates?

just copying the above list and a yes/no after the dates...

[Nicole 817]

1-2nd yes

8-9th yes

15-16th - Easter no

22-23rd yes

29-30th yes

then maybe even May

6-7th yes

13-14th no

 

Sounds like fun, let's hope this one gets off the ground this time as the other one wasn't overly subscribed after some dissent amongst the ranks :)

[Purple Muffin 265]

1-2nd - Y

8-9th - Y

15-16th - Easter - Yes possibly!

22-23rd - Y

29-30th - Y

 

then maybe even May

6-7th

13-14th

 

I am not sure I can make a commitment for May yet as it is likely I will be going to South Africa for a month around that time :)

[maaph 3]

here the current status .. I am taking an informed guess that I will be away at Easter...

 

1-2nd yes

8-9th no

15-16th - Easter no

22-23rd no

29-30th yes

then maybe even May

6-7th ??

13-14th yes

[Purple Muffin 265]

Actually 29th/30th would be a good one maybe as there is the May day holiday on the Monday. I am thinking about the people who are coming a bit further...

[Loopy 5]

1-2nd yes

8-9th probably away

15-16th - Easter probably away

22-23rd probably away

29-30th yes

 

then maybe even May

6-7th not sure

13-14th not sure

 

think we had it this year on May bank holiday for the same reason, but a few people dropped out as it was a good time for a long weekend away - so I don't think that will be a good date...

 

do they serve beer on this train?

[Neil373 2]

1-2nd - Yes

8-9th - Yes

15-16th - Easter - No

22-23rd - No

29-30th - Not sure, depends if there are any storms in the Med

6-7th - Yes

13-14th - Yes

 

Jeez, this is so organised that even my super-efficient Swiss colleagues would be proud of me !

[Satman 5]

Easter is pretty boring as a single person or young couple.. so I suggest the easter weekend!

[Bombi 2]

I think 29th-30th sounds the best, it's after the Easter holidays and it shouldn't be too cold then. May is not a good month for me.
