EoFF World Meetup and Live Ciddies! - London 2016

[Shorty]

22 peeps interested in attending a live Ciddies event in under 36 hours of this thread being open! This makes me very happy

[Shauna]

How long will you be running the survey for?

To clarify, my West Coast idea wasn't intended as a replacement but as a second venue. It was also just an idea (seeing as I don't live there so can't really do anything at all to help or plan haha). As it stands I'm 95% sure I can't do a UK meetup in 2016/2017 (ironically enough there's a good chance I could swing one in 2015 for various reasons) so I was trying to get the "alternate meetup" ball rolling. Sorry for any confusion!

As if you would attribute that gross pun to me.

>>> If I manage to learn teleportation by 2016 I would probably be there..

[Rocket Edge]

I'm definitely up for going. What would a world meet-up be without the token drunk Irishman?

As for where to meet up; I don't really mind although I'd prefer Edinburgh over London any day, so you can place that as my vote.

[Big D]

Survey complete!

(I'm not sure how far away it is from Australians or New Zealanders, but I hope it isn't too inconvenient)

There is literally almost nowhere in the world that is further from the UK than Australasia xD

Nonetheless, I'd be dead keen on a meetup in the UK in a couple of years. Of course, this is totally dependent on time, money and other resources/commitments, but I'd certainly make it if I could. In fact, my partner and I are hoping to take a belated honeymoon to the UK and Europe over the next couple of years, so if our travel coincided with the biggest EoFF meetup ever, that'd be just awesome. This is one of the reasons I'd prefer a meetup in the UK over the USA.

In the event that other venues are considered, I've got to second Australia as a back-up. Various Pacific Islands could also be an option - Tonga, Samoa, etc.

In doing price searches, the Aussies found that it was cheaper to fly to London than it was for Edinburgh, LA or the US East coast. So I hope it can work out for our So. Hem friends!

[Kalevala]

Sounds brilliant. It's hard to predict what my financial/employment situation will be like in two or three years time, but I would absolutely go to this. I've never been to the UK!

[Baloki]

Wait, is this proving that the UK meetups have always been superior to those in the US? :joey:

Also as for cities, Birmingham is the spiritual birthplace of the UK meetups so it'd have to be there, especially to see BooB actually leave Scotland for once

[Shorty]

It looks like London has been decided on! Birmingham wasn't really an option to begin with, sorry, friend

Would you possibly attend?

[Jess]

I agree that London is certainly the best for those who haven't visited the UK before, as there is so much to do and see. If people are worried about the price, why not get accomodation in a town just outside London and then just use public transport if you want to venture into the City?

I can't commit to anything because of how far in advance this is. However, as I live fairly local, it's certainly possible could pop along for the day.
