Hello children. I'm just posting to say "hallo", and confirming that YES I am arranging it again.
Last year, I arranged the 3rd UK Meet-Up (with no small help from kaggski) and it was a overwhelming sucess, so we're hoping that 2007 is as good, if not better.
However, the only problem I can see with experience is how it can limit what we accept and all that, so I'm explaining some of the descions made (currently) so that people can understand.
BIRMINGHAM?
The reason why we have put our foot down is because (simply) us organisers are simple people, and we don't know enough about other places. We're regionalised and both me and Psy know more about Birmingham then say, Manchester or London.
So, in a totally non-agressive manner, if you want meet-ups in other places then arrange them! As organisers, we'd be happy that others are following suit and sorting stuff like this out. I love London. I liked Manchester. I have no predjudice.
Plus, we did go Mancester in 2005.
You'd be coming from Wales? Where?Jasper Carrot rocks but man, i cant wait till i can drive so i can actually go to one of these meet ups, they sound awsum. anyhoo, have a good time folks.
The reason I ask is because I'm coming from Swansea.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Up to you guys really! Suggest something and it'll be seriously considered! Iceglow is working on the idea of a 3 day weekend, because then members don't have to miss out on stuff. For example, younger EoFFers don't really want to hang around people drinking, and vice versa.What would we do? Are you nice? I'm scared...
We usually go the Sealife Centre because each time, we've had enough new people to justify visiting it again.
Plus the picture outside Nemo is quite cool.![]()
We also shop which is usually cool.
If there is a night, we will probably drink. *shrug* It's something adults do.
Seriously, give us the ideas. You're the ones coming, so say what you want.

Anyway, I wish for a great meet-up. Problems and issues will be raised when they come up, but until then, all the best.
