Wayne and I have been talking about a UK meet but wondering where and when and if you would like to?

As it's the summer holidays we thought it would be a great chance for the younger members to come along.

The 1st round of beers, fizzy pop is on Wayne (I haven't told him yet though lol)...i will get the 2nd round in:P

Darren & Wayne.

    I'd potentially be up for a knees up depending on when it is... (LONDON AREA WOULD BE GOOD FOR ME)

    We can all show off some things in development (if I can get them a bit more finished), geekily talk about games, indie development, app store, marketing and favorite beers and let it slowly turn into a drunken mess arguing over whether Mario Kart was better on the SNES, or the N64... (the answer is the SNES of course)

    Id be up for that,

    Midlands, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Loughborough would suite as coming from Bristol, but going down the M4 london direction aint to much of a problem, not too keen on going North England or East Anglia but thats mainly becuase of the distance.

    Im flexable about dates,

    Sounds a nice idea. I live about 30 miles from London so that'd be OK for me. It'd be great to meet up with everyone.

    Ah well, that rules me out then. ;-)

  • GamersRejoiceGamersRejoice Member Posts: 817
    I would've gone if this meeting was like 8 years ago when I traveled there. Had a lot of fun though.
  • WyrdGuitaristWyrdGuitarist Member, PRO Posts: 91
    Great idea, guess it depends on where and when...
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @Darren/Wayne... Want to set a date for the meet?....

    I take it Deep Blue Apps will obviously be paying for everyones drinks ... :-)
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    Lets leave the poll running a bit longer, let me chat with Wayne to see about a date.

    @Stormy...yeah I'm sure Wayne and I will treat you :)

    Darren.

    I think you might end up with more people turning up if it's in the Midlands, as it's more central for everyone.

    I know London is the capital, and has a sizable chunk of the population, but there's still a big wide world of people outside it's borders. Surely londoners know how to use the train or get in a bloody car the same as the rest of us! :)
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @chunky..

    The midlands is more central as in its in the middle of the Country but its certainly not more 'central' for me..... it would be a long old trip for me...

    I live south of London (not a Londoner)... its a 35 minute train ride to London Waterloo for me...which is obviously fine.

    I guess if this one happens else where, and some of us can't make it...there's no reason not to organize a London meet at another time...

    interesting Poll...be cool to create an interactive map so we can see everyones rough locations ...
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    Yeah true,

    So what about this Saturday 6th, just spoke to Wayne and although it's short notice we can both make that date.

    Darren.
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    not good for me (Wedding to go to)...but if it happens then have a good night and please post stories of what everyone gets up to.
  • capitalcarnagecapitalcarnage Member Posts: 371
    I can't make the 6th, although that shouldn't stop you of course.
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    @Darren, Stormy etc...
    Yeah I'll buy you all drink !

    I think it's gonna be best if we can arrange 3 meet-ups so everyone can come along, over a bunch of weekends.

    I would suggest we arrange a meet-up for the NORTH, MIDLANDS and SOUTH.

    - Saturday 6th August - MIDLANDS (LOUGHBOROUGH) - Drinks on Darren & Wayne all day (upto £200) ! - And a few snacks :-)

    - Saturday 13th August - LONDON
    - Saturday 20th August - NORTH (Need more feedback to arrange this one)

    Also the idea was for a general get together for all, not just us oldies who like a beer. So if your a lil bit younger ask your parents to come-along, or get them to email us. We'll arrange a meeting place that suits everyone.

    If the dates don't 100% suit - just come along for an hour or 2 and say hi!

    Cheers
    Wayne

    You gotta come - just for an hour!

    Where's the Radstock option on the poll? Or I am I suffering from anti-wozel prejustice? If it has to be Midlands or London, I shall get me cart out and re-shoe the donkey. Anytime with enough lead will be fine by me, so live in fear and mine's a pint of scrumpy.

    I'm at the horses for the day, on the sauce. :(. I may be good for other dates, I'll need to check my diary and by that I mean the wife, and by check I mean ask permission.)
  • capitalcarnagecapitalcarnage Member Posts: 371
    @oldkipper as in Somerset Radstock?
