I'll buy you a drink* if you're short on cash ;)

*Not exceeding the price of £1

You'd be lucky to find much to drink in London for under a quid.

I agree with London, if it was during a holiday it would be easier than in termtime, but I can get to London in term time also if it's a weekend, which I'd imagine it would be.

Nottingham is reasonably big and is in the middleish and Serin and me and Paula are in/around and it's near Derby. However, I might well meet people I know from uni at the same time who might wonder why I was with such a random bunch of people :P and there's not much to do here if you're not old enough to drink. So I think London is the best option.

Any one of the above is fine by me. Obviously Nottingham would be the best but I imagine that London would be the most convenient option for everyone. Are we considering a specific date or is it too early to discuss that ;)

Hmmmm, it would cost a small fortune for me to get from either Wrexham or Birmingham to London on the train, that and it would take a good 3/4 hours to get there. So it's not something I'd realistically be able to do until I have both the time and money to do so... i.e. after I've graduated, haha. Somewhere in the middle of the country would be better for me but then that would be an inconvenience for others. Maybe we could have several smaller meets in different places, depending on where people can travel to...?

This is an idea that's been thrown around for a while but nothing's ever actually come of it, it is quite difficult getting us all together in one place when we're from all over the UK (or all over the world in some cases). And I'm abroad for the next year anyway... so I'm out for the time being. Ask me when I'm back in the UK, haha.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I'ma have to say no to London :( As much as I love the city, poor student here ;)

I second this except the student bit. It might be cheap to get to London if you book in advance but it'll cost me a bley fortune to go anywhere/do anything.

We can have our own Northern meet which would be far superior ;)

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

If that's the plan... er... I might not want to go to those geeky lengths - might watch from the sidelines and take the official photos :P

I thought Grace was making masks.

Nah. We just all have to apply fake tan for at least a week in advance to reach that 'total tangerine' effect!

I'd/we'd be very happy to attend both northern and southern (with plenty of warning) UM meetings. Don't want to divide the forum.

Or are we going to keep suggesting places until one is suggested that suits a lot of people? Remember that there are people from all over the country here Rob so its not as simple as just picking a time and place.

Everyone seems to like London over anywhere else. I didn't mean to come across as pushy Heather, I was just worried that we wouldn't come up with a place and this thread would just disappear and the meet wouldn't happen :(

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
