Nerdfighters in the South West!

[Nyx]

Any nerdfighters in South West England? I live near Bristol, and there aren't many nerdfighters around =(

UPDATE: Okay, apologies for the lack of organisation here - I've been pretty busy lately.

I was thinking, however, of organising a meet-up for a Bath showing of HP&DH on Saturday 20th November. I'm going to mail everyone who's replied to this thread regarding it, so if anyone else is interested, feel free to either reply here or send me a message!

REGARDING THE DEATHLY HALLOWS MEET:

Location: Bath(?)

Date: Saturday 20th November 2010 -- the day after HP7 is released (we'll want to pre-book tickets I expect, so let me know ASAP if you want to come)

Time: ?? -- we won't know until closer to the day, but I expect we'll meet at the train station at 1:00ish or something, then walk down to the Odeon together

If you want any more information, you can leave me a message, reply to the thread, or add me on Facebook and talk to me there.

Ahh, awesome =D
I don't think I'll be able to make it though =(

Well, that was 28th-30th August last year, which would be after the London gathering on the 14th - I think we were planning on a South-West meet sometime before then.

[Sam Burns]

please keep us informed about that, a gathering that won't cost me and arm and a leg to get to would be most welcome.

Okay, I don't really know how this works, but I'm hoping you'll all get an update for this message? XD

I think general consensus is that we should have a meet sometime in July, then try to organise a meet-up for London on the 14th - even if we haven't booked places to go see John.
So, what July dates are best for people? I'm off college now, but I know some people are still at school etc, so perhaps a weekend would be best. That gives us the 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th, 31st, and 1st August.
The 3rd and 4th are probably a bit short notice for most, so any time between the 10th and 31st?

The other detail is obviously the location. From what I've read, it looks like most of us could easily get to Bath or Exeter without people being left out. Any other suggestions are welcome though.

(And don't forget you can invite nerds from other social networking sites too!)

TL;DR? Basically: PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR PREFERENCES ON DATE AND LOCATION! THANKS!! =D

july is great for me :D ive been to exeter a good few times but never bath, either is fine with me :D

[Lucy Gowland]

Agreed that 3rd and 4th are short notice but any time during the rest of July sounds great. I'm coming from London so I don't really mind how far west I travel, it's all on the same train route :)

[Zoe_unleashed]

Hi, I'm in Plymouth/Torbay so I would be happy to come along too. Would be great to meet some fellow nerdfighters.

Don't really mind where it is more when it is, before the 14th July would be best for me as then I move up to Wales, but you all decide what ever and I'll see if I could make it, as If it is later in July I'm sure I would still be able to get down somehow.
:D
I'm also very happy there are a fair amount of nerdfighters in the South West.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty busy right now and at the beginning of August, so I don't know if I can organise any meets at the moment, but there is a "Doctor Who Themed Picnic" London meet on August 16th, if anyone's interested.
Feel free to organise a SW meet in July/August as well between yourselves, but I don't think I'll be able to make it, sorry! I might be able to get to the 16th August one though, so if anyone's interested, let me know.

[Lucy Gowland]

Do you have more details (or a link to a place I could find more details) about the Doctor Who picnic?

[Nyx]

Yeah, sure - the Facebook page is here and it's being organised by Lucy-Jayne Copley; if you message her about it, she'll be able to give you the details.

Hey, just to say, I live in the south west! :D
