A big forum meet.

I used to be on a forum that had a mass gathering at least once a year. 20 or 30 members - maybe more, would all meet for the weekend at an agreed venue.

They spent months discussing the location of the meet and various other aspects like hotels, room sharing etc before coming to any agreement.

I think one year it was York another year, Birmingham - I can't remember where else..

I don't know if they still do it but they seemed to have a brilliant time. Members travelled from all over the country - for some it was a really long way. It must have been worth it - they came back posting pictures up of what they'd got up to. Nobody seemed camera shy.

I never went myself because I didn't want to leave Tony and he didn't want to come with me. A few of them took their partners but most left their other half at home.

If Azz or one of our leading lights decided to arrange something like this for us all - would you come?

Probably not. I don't drive & hate traveling in trains. I have met members of forums I was/am on though, some I am still friends with.

I thought some of you did meet up occasionally?

Yes we do - I've met up with a few from this forum.

I'm talking about a big meet though, involving all members from all over the country.

So far as I know there's never been anything like that on here.
