CF meetup idea

[SiFor]

Had an idea (yeah yeah hold the jokes), who would be interested in having a CF meetup. Say booking a venue staying over night and having a good old knee up?

It would be good to know where everyone is in the county so if you havent already drop your location on the guestmaps

So what do you think?

Great Idea, you seem to be placed neatly right in the middle of all of us!

Seems like a superb idea.Would be great to meet people face to face,and of course the perfect excuse for a few

Yeh like it!!!!

I was toying with an idea like this sometime earlier this year, called Certforums Live!
a mixture of somewhat live advice sessions/cert discussion during the day, followed by a bbq/beers in the evening, however i never got too far with it

Originally i was going for either somewhere central to the country, so that its in the middle for everyone
or london due to its transit links from all corners (flights from scotland, trains from wherever) due the the drinking I wasnt sure how many people would be driving ;)

What are your guys thoughts on that? would you just want a booze up / get together social event? or try and tie it in with some kind of cert related event? summer is approaching so the long cool evenings sound like a perfect time for such an event

good to see such positive response, great idea Si!

Think thats a great idea there phoenix,like the idea of a cert related event followed up by a social gavering.
With the long summer nights just around the corner its the perfect time of year too.
As for the location of the event im swaying towards a central to the country one.

[drum_dude]

Yeah a conference to Social type event...Great idea Phoenix especially with the clout that this site posses in the Cert World!

I'm 100% on board with this! An event for like minded people! Cool!!

Nice idea.
Who's cooking?
We could all chip in to buy Mitzs a ticket.
And her Mom...

Yup I'd be up for that (during the school hols of course ) Like the idea of an overnight stay, then no worries with driving.

[Phoenix]

As a notion, I could probably get access to my old schools tech lab for presentations and stuff, as well as access to the carpark and field perhaps for the bbq, ofcoruse that would be if it was held in london, if its held up north im sure someone else can arrange similar facilities? perhaps? hehe

AJ - your school ?

[AJ]

It's a school - no bar m8

[Phoenix]

no bar required
as long as the school have no probs with alcahol on site (i know the one down here doesnt)
a few crates of ice, and some cases of drink to throw in them, coupled with a few barbies! good stuff!
hehe
