UK Get-Together


So all the action is in Socal, while us brits sit twiddling our thumbs. Why don't you rub it in a bit more Mike?

Hey Dave H
How about a meet in the UK? Birmingham is quite central. I'll contact Awad and see what he thinks. A few others might be up for it. What do you reckon?

Well, I'm told in about 50 years it's going to be just fine. But I'm also a bit short of time at the moment, so Kelly, how about you or I start a new thread around March or April?

PS I'm no longer in Birmingham - now near Oxford. Happy to host, but with you and Awad up north, it sounds like Manchester is the oud Capital of Britain!

Hi Dave

I have family around Banbury. Are you far from the town?

As requested, I have shifted all these UK posts to a new thread. Now let's see this thing go ahead. If you folks can make it happen, maybe those of us in the antipodes can do something similar.

Regards,

Greg

Thanks Greg for the encouragements,

Yeeees guys :bounce:

It would be great to meet and I'm up for it big time, If all agree and as DaveH suggested for Manchester as a venue for the meet I'll be organaising the Hall "The damage is on me guy's as we say,nice little roomy place" for the sessions and a tour around the City in my spacious SUV:D

come on now, set a date and let it happen:bounce:

I nominate Kelly to organise the rest:buttrock:

Best regards to all,

Awad

Hey Awad

Fast work there!

Lets get a list of interested parties, travel/accommodation needs. Any preferences for location and ease of access. People can U2U.

Is there any preferred dates/committments?
(If its late Spring/early Summer then I need to get my cycle racing diary out!)

I'm in south-east Scotland near Edinburgh.

I'm not sure how much spare time I've got, but London, Oxford and Manchester might be possible. Birmingham isn't - it's much more difficult and expensive to get to from Scotland and I have no contacts there.

Thanks Anne Marie
However, if we want to keep a rough tally I'd have to say that so far northern soul rules as Charlie and Jack are coming in from the North East. Any more interest from the south and west ?

Still open to suggestions- let us know
And now back to playing.............

Kelly - Banbury is easy for me but if the centre of gravity is north, I agree that would be the way to go. I know Matthew is in Cambridge - you out there Matthew?

I'd love to come, Manchester will be fine for me, early summer would be good 24th May to 1st June there is a May holiday here. Outside holidays I can't do Thursdays as I teach (yoga!!). Summer hols start 24th July.

Anyway name a date and I'll do my best to get up there, I have familly near Leeds but none in Manchester so I'd need a floor to crash out on ;)

It would be great to see you all
