Meet Up - Manchester Feb 2014

It was quite rightly pointed out to me that I should start a new thread for this, so here it is...

The January meet up was interesting - not quite as many people as I'd hoped, but those that were there were perfectly formed and well appreciated. Hopefully they all got as much out of it as I did. ;)

The better news is that loads of people seem have contacted me (both here and other comedy writers I know around Manchester) saying it was too short notice but they'd love to come along if it happens again.

So with that in mind, I'd like to propose a time/place for another meet, giving you all plenty more time to plan.

Date: Sunday February 9th 2014
Time: 17:00 onwards
Place:The Castle, Oldham Street, Manchester

I'd guess it'll finish somewhere between 8 and 10, to allow for people to travel home in decent time, though if people are still there and up for it I guess it goes on...

Be great if people can respond as early as possible if they can make it/will make it/will try or if the date/time makes it a non-starter. If there's loads of interest I'll try and get a separate room for us (even if that means moving to another venue nearby).

I'm loathe to start debating dates/times like mad, as we'll never settle on a date/time if we spend eternity debating when's best, but if the above proposal is really unsuitable then I'm more than happy to change... I'm also not adverse to starting earlier if afternoons are better for many, but continuing on to the evening still.

Hope this all makes sense.

So, how's then for you? You coming?

Any takers/interest/feedback on this?

I'm a maybe, again.

I'm interested!

I'll come, if I survive my birthday on the friday

I just booked a scabby hotel room and cheap train ticket

so you'd better be there or I'm off down Coronation street to probably get molested.

Quick reminder to everyone that this is happening on Sunday.

Not sure whether I can make it or not this time, but I'll try.

Any more for any more?

This is on later today - will we see you there? :)

I've gotta be honest I think if it's just 2 definites I'm leaning towards a no, the hotel was about 20 quids

but no offence JD the train tickets 80 squid and I haven't bought it yet

Perfectly understandable - Sorry it cost you the 20 decapods. Though at least you've avoided the greater cost and travel time.

(BTW Where the heck did you get a £20 hotel???)

So the metro took a bit longer than planned. Just got to the castle - I'll be in the back room wearing black (a uscss Nostromo tee shirt)
