Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Grace]

We're out, it's a 10 hour coach journey, starting at 4am. No thank you.

Train?

[Robbie Keane]

Yeah, if posters I know are going (and don't pull out - otherwise I'm gonna look like a proper tw*t), I'll just train it down, and you know I'm gonna first class that shit.

[Lucinda]

Manchester has a youth hostel, and I can combine it with a visit to Leeds Boy. So it's looking like it's got some potential.

[midnight]

I really want to come but the last weekend of November is too close to my exams for me to be able to go

[aloha_chicka]

Unfortunately I'm not able to come, even though it would be a bargain for the train tickets (£24!).

I'll have a glass or 2 of wine for you all....

If another meet is arranged and I'm able to, then I will definitely be there!!

[Emma]

Ooh I'm sure there'll be another, depending on whether this one is a hit or not! Nah, I'm pretty sure there will be.

[Grace]

If anyone ever decides to organise a Southern meet (below the Watford Gap please! ) then give me a shout.

There only seems to be a handful of us southerners

[Emma]

Haha. I did try and be as central as possible so it was equal distance for the southerners to travel to and also the Scottish folk

[Sam]

anyone else planning staying the saturday night..?

[Guest]

I think we might be yes, but probably not in the same part of Manchester as everyone else

[KingTutsWWH]

Haha. Yup, it'll probably be pretty hard to extricate you from the dark rooms on Canal Street!

I will be!

I know! Well maybe we should do our own meet up!

[Emma]

Voting should be closed now - no votes added now will be taken into consideration etc etc...so the geeks have spoken, and it looks like the meet will be taking place at Manchester on the 28th of November 2009!

[Party Roy]

That would be random.

[midnight]

Wish I could come but I'm afraid that's too close to my exams for me to come down.

[DarkAngelMJH]

That's rubbish Heather

[Rob]

Do we know where in Manchester and what time?

[Emma]

Do we know where in Manchester and what time?

I'm guessing those who are going on the train will be going to Piccadilly Station (L), so maybe we could all meet in the middle outside Selfridges by the Manchester Wheel?

[Ema]

Not sure how far away Manchester is from Lincoln *Awaits Jon's answer*

[JonathanEx]

We are... about 2 hours 10 mins by car, 2 hrs 30 to 3 hours by train, with 1 change. Depends how quickly I go broke.

[Sam]

if a time and a place is figured out I can start looking at tickets/accommodation

[Behelzebub]

I think staying over is pretty much impossible for me now due to my horrendous workload this semester. But I'll try my best to make it down for the day.
