Whoa ok!!!

I'm gonna see if there is much response to this...after the thread of "NSers you would like to meet" I got thinking for a whole 10 seconds, there seems to be a fair few people based in manchester and the surrounding area...hmmm meeting other NSers....


then the idea hit me...


I needed a beer....


But on the way to the fridge I got thinking again...


What about a little meet of all the NSers, who wanted to break their anonimity of course, who lived within a few hours of Manchester and further away if they can get transport.


Now I'm thinking that unless we get a whole load of people or something, then meeting in a pub or something like that would be good, mainly caus its a public place etc etc


Any ideas would be great, i've already had a couple of people who said it was a good idea, so i think its a good possibility it might happen...

Ok so the idea has been thought of and the provisional date and place is:

WEDNESDAY 10th AUGUST, THE TEMPLE PUB, MANCHESTER, 2PM

Map (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=384000&Y=398000&width=700&height=400&gride=383918&gridn=397607&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&in.x=6&in.y=11&scale=25000)

Picadilly is off to the right and Oxford Street is just round the corner...no lame excuses that it ain't accessible...


Possible people who can come...

Kel
Tink
Anarchic Conceptions
Gataway Driver
Chicken Pi (go on....)
RRP (go on, you know you want to...)
Pure Metal - and if he drives maybe Moleland and TIN
Carops

pub would be good. i live in southampton.... about 4 hours away at least, but if there's a big meet (heh lol) i'll come

edit: or you could all come down south to the Hobbit... best pub in all the land!

It sounds interesting, but I probably wouldn't enjoy the 5-6 hour journey.

wow, responces :D

cushty, I was thinking about meeting somewhere really obvious so those who haven't been to manc before can actually find it without any trouble...

I'm back in manc in august, which might be a problem if some are going on holiday etc, but its pretty much the only time all people are off uni, school, college and when I am back :D

I was thinking meeting somewhere near the big weatherspoons near piccadily (where most people who come might arrive at) and go there or something...

Ooh, quite nice there.

I only recommended the Temple since (a) I like it and (b) it is absolutely tiny. We'll never miss each other in there :)

Though probably not going on holiday this summer so I'll be around all the time :(

AWWWWW.... Too bad I'm broke, because I'd fly over. I'd make a vacation of it, since I have yet to tour Europe and I have relatives in Italy. I want to see where my mom lived and just go everywhere! What a great start to a vacation in Europe! (Well we do have credit cards, but I can't end up with a hundred grand to pay off :D )

Depends upon when it is, I suppose. If you had one after university starts, I'll almost certainly be in Manchester, making a meet just that much easier. On the other hand, it's less than a tenner return for me to get to Manchester, so I could probably make it anyway.

Picadilly is off to the right and Oxford Street is just round the corner...no lame excuses that it ain't accessible...

Sounds good. If I can book some accomodation in advance, I'll go.

No-one will recognise me, I'll be hiding under a barstool somewhere. Not intentionally, you understand, I'm just so short that I'd be swept under there by accident and be unable to leave because of the sea of human legs.

...I'm only 14. So, you know, with the whole thing being in a pub and everything, not to mention I'd need to hitch a lift off some willing adult, it'd be a bit of a problem for me.

Damnit, I hate being young.

Unlikely, as my parents won't let me go. They're really protective about things like that. Though I can imagine myself trying to get into a pub, as I look about 12.

Oh well, you guys'll just have to tell me all about it. :P

If I can actually make it (getting off work is going to be a bitch) I'll take some photos and video clips.

Damnit, I hate being young.I know, I'm frequently mistaken for 13 or 14. Which really confuses and annoys me, as I think that I look at least two years older (and when I speak, of course, I sound like a little closer to my age). I suppose it's the fact that I haven't grown any more than 7 inches since I was 14. :p
