London DPC Meet - DPChallenge Forums

04/02/2003 04:28:25 PM · #1

Some of us on DPC Fanatics Chat are just chatting (as one does in a chatroom) and thought it would be cool to have a London DPC Getogether!

Anyone interested?

As I live in London I can try and find a venue for a meal etc and arrange other stuff depending on what people want.

I'm in just name a date!

You gotta fly here - tell me what dates work for you.
Let's wait a couple days and see how many we have that are interested.
If they are mostly in UK then we can set a date not too far in future, as long as you can get a flight.
If there are any from US or other longhaul destinations that want to come, we might need more lead time.

This weekend is out for me too, as are odd weekends over coming months...

I reckon once we have a rough idea of whether it's 5 of us or 20 I can propose a few weekends and see which one most people can make.

:)

Does that sound OK?

I'll have to sit out, due to those silly things called exams :( Maybe if you have another one in the summer holidays I can tag along :)

Good idea. I live in Norwich, which is just an hour and 15 minutes from London and have two cool sisters-in-law that live there. When?

I'm going to give it a couple of days so more people can chime in.

Then I'll put forward say three weekends and see who can make which and go for the most popular one...

:D

PS My hub (Ganders) will come and hopefully my goood buddy Floyd.

Depends when it is but I might join you Kavey. Assuming I can grab a bed for the night (and perhaps one of those amazing kebabs!). As you probably know the first weekend in May is out for me.

I've emailed a few more UK DPCers that I think expressed interest in the past...

Hoping they will chime in.

Either sounds good to me!!! Count me in..

Hmm... a DPC meet in London... possible, possible :o)

04/03/2003 04:40:41 PM · #19

OK this is looking good - will post some possible dates and ideas for your votes tomorrow...

:)

04/04/2003 05:47:49 AM · #20

First:
Please reply with a note on which of the following dates you can make - if you can make more than one, please mention it, as we will go with the date most people can make.

â�¢ 10/11 May
â�¢ 24/25 May
â�¢ 31/1 May/June
â�¢ 15th June (I am at a wedding outside of London on the 14th but can do 15th)

â�¢ 21/22 June EDIT - sooo sorry - just realised I'm going on holiday this weekend so can't make it

Do people prefer Saturday or Sunday?

Second:
What do we want to do?

â�¢ Meet for a meal/ drinks over lunch or dinner (I can help choose/ book)
â�¢ Have a photo shoot day - if we choose this option we can put forward suggestions for location later
â�¢ Something else

Third:
Floyd's claimed my spare bedroom already, do other visitors need help with looking into accommodation in London? If so, let me know and I can help research.

THANKS

I'll have to check out my calendar. I'll let you know the best dates for us tomorrow. Great idea!

I'm interested, but don't know if I'll be able to find the time. I'll keep my eye on this thread, and see what pans out closer to whatever date you settle on. It's about time I visited London again having not been there for over 12 years!

May 10th is out for me, I'll be on holiday in Stockholm then. Any of the other dates mention are fine.

I suggest lunch, then possibly wandering around for a photo shoot, then drinks. :)

Any of these weekends will do for me - prefer Saturdays. Photoshoot sounds nice and we can always have a drink afterwards. I'll go along with the crowd.

Cheers
