Right... I'm trying to plan a meet and want to try and get as many people as there as possible. I was thinking how the old meets used to attract a decent gathering, but nowadays we only seem to attract a small number of die hard forum regulars.

Anyway, I thought I would make a move and see what people's opinions are on the subject. Also, would be grateful, if you interested, if you could suggest what day of the week is best for you and where you would prefer to have the meet?

Once I have a bit more info to play with then I will post the more popular choices as a poll and take if from there.

Cheers,

AO.

I'd be up for this as some of the more recent meets have been clashing with other stuff I've had on.

I can do Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Don't mind where.

Mega... I'm easy. Don't have too much on in the next few weeks unless I go surfing, but something can be arranged either way.

saturdays are best for me as no work on sundays and i hate goin to work feeling :gag:

as for where to go there are loads of places on west street but you have to also bear in mind there are many differant people on the forum with many differant tastes

i mean me and several others like the bars on west street and a club after but many others like a pub type meet thats semi quiet and others that just like bars no club

either way i look forward to the outcome of this and look forward to attending the meet :D

ive got to agree with katy...it depends what you want from your meet:

a) a lairy night out on the lash
b) a civilised few beverages and a good old chinwag

me, so long as it doesnt clash with work im up for either! :D

Well, it could start as a civilised drink in a pub/bar then those wanting to do the other thing can arrange to go on and have a lairy night out on the lash!!!

I agree with Katy and Sophie, it is almost impossible to cater for everyone, as some like to go wild on West Street and some like the more tradional quiet pubs where you can speak and hear yourself.

I have been to a fair few meetings whitch cater for both and you tend to get different people going to both.

Count me in, I can make any night, and I now prefer the b option

I will try and cater for the majority, but the 'lairy' ones amongst the group can meet up with us quieter ones before they go and do their thing lol.

I will keep off the cider this time :hihi:

The party sounds good,could this not incorparate some sort of raffle,where by every one brings an item ,and all proceeds go to the flood fund,other things could be done as well.E.g darts match,auction that should really get a good meet going.

you're obsessed with ramsey/chris moyles impresion of ramsey! :hihi:

if it's a lairy night i'd definitely like to go - tbh i feel too self conscious to talk to people in a pub all night - too shy!

plus everybody needs to have a boogie on a night out!

Yes, the meet at the Sanctuary was indeed a decent turn out and was a great night also. That was like the old meets when there used to be a good turn out week-in, week-out.
