Post-Glitch get-together - in London, UK?

There are a number of UK Glitchen around. Anyone feel like meeting in person after the game closes? Either before Christmas or in early January?

I'm thinking of London as all trains go there and it's near-ish for me, but if there is a large contingent elsewhere we could shift or do more than one thing.

Please say if you would maybe or definitely be up for attending. If we get a critical mass of people I will look into locations, dates, timing etc.

  • I think it is a great idea. Not that local but it would be nice to keep a community together.

    Funny how Glitch didn't divide into the RL locations - for me at least lol

    Dublin is fun too ;)

  • Dublin closer and easier for me than the ever present London but so are most places that aren't at the other end of the other country and all trains go to Beijing but I doubt it's all that practical for most people.

  • I am up for London.. Bef Christmas or January... either is ok with me..

  • Good idea, but I think after Christmas would be better, many people will have a lot of stuff on beforehand  
    ps Birmingham is more central.. he said trying hard to disguise his Brummie accent  :) 

    ETA: It will depend on how many pennies I have at the time (I have a bag of dried currants but they won't accept them in the real world).

    I'm wondering what plans you have for the day, Theremina.

  • After New Year would be better for me. I'd prefer London, but Birmingham is possible too.

  • I'd certainly be a maybe - it all depending on timing. London or Birmingham would be fine with me.

  • I could do London in January. Also, if anyone's south of London I could host a party at my place in Dorset, I have sleeping facilities for up to 7 people :)

  • I can do London or dorset :)

  • I am in Cheshire but could certainly do London or Birmingham or anywhere really as would have to travel no matter what.   I am potentially coming down to London anyway in Feb to see some old friends, but if a Jan meetup goes ahead, I'll see what I can do to come down in Jan instead, as I would love to meet you guys.  Pre-Christmas would definitely be a no from me though, sorry :(

  • That sounds like a critical mass to me, for London and January - sorry if those are not particulars which suit you. Would more gatherings elsewhere be good too?

    Plans for the day - good question! I think I was just envisaging some lunch somewhere tasty but not expensive, and general chatter. We could organise Glitchy party games or something if you like (Glitch mad-libs, pass-the-Wrappable-Gift-Box, etc.). Does anyone have other ideas? It depends on venue really. I could perhaps find a very cheap/free pub function room so we can have some privacy to play pin-the-tail-on-the-piggy or whatever.

  • I would but I am way up in yorkshire and its the money the trains cost to get to london, so like the idea but wont be able to come.

  • Posting to say I love the idea!! I'm in Cheshire area, would love to come... if we can get a date settled soonish it would be nice as then there's advance booking for us northerners (and cheapskates :D )

  • In terms of activities what about a mass singalong to your glitch songs, Thera? :)
    Posted 19 days ago by Violet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm going to gracefully bow out of this one.  Hope you have a lovely meet up :)  Happy Glitching!! x

  • Lovely idea, but too far for me :(

    But enjoy yourselves and try to remember me!

  • Would there be enough of us for a more northern meet up, say in Manchester?
    Posted 16 days ago by pana Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Im up for a meet, greet and laugh - happy to meet wherever, london is good.
    Posted 16 days ago by Loupin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm also up for meeting up - London is fine as will be coming from S Wales or NW England.

  • Myself and Pomponella will be attending. I have prepared our requirements:
    • Medium shag red carpet. Not too shaggy as we both might wear heels.
    • An Elvis impersonator
    • A selection of 20+ year old Whisky
    • A miniature golf course
    • Pork pies
    • Hats made of felt
    • An Etch-A-Sketch
    • Methylated Spirit 1 Litre
    • Modelling Clay (assorted colours)
    • 3 buckets of potato salad
    • A hamster
    • A Glock 9mm with ammo
    • Crisps, any flavour but not Prawn Cocktail (we're not fussy people)
    • Oh and a couple of cushions if that's not too much trouble
    There, that's fairly straightforward. See you all there!

  • If anyone wants to get together for a mourn/wake in Manchester, I'd be up for that as well as London :D

    Hey, if shhexy corin's going, I'm definitely in.

  • If I can afford to make it, I'd come along.  Travel's the killer though, it's an expensive trip from oop north (which I used to make on a monthly basis, of course now it's about double that).

  • Keep me posted ;)

  • Ok, we need to sort out a date, folks. Of the weekends in January and February, I am unavailable 12/13 Jan and 9/10 Feb. Does anyone else have preferences? Bidding starts now! Let's try to get a date in by Sunday, then I can sort out the details after the closure. *sniff*

  • Sat 19th January? 19 is an auspicious number for social gatherings and general fun :)
    Posted 7 days ago by Violet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • BUMP. Also, please not 13th January because I'm legit hosting the London No Trousers Tube Ride then.
    Posted 7 days ago by Rammi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mocha Maid and I can do London.  Not the first weekend in February for us as we'll be at the Filk convention.
    Posted 7 days ago by Josiah Thimblerig Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not the first weekend (5th/6th) of Jan
    Posted 7 days ago by dopiaza Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can only do the last weekend in Feb, but others are fine. I like the 19th!
    Posted 6 days ago by Persephone Plight Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Dang, this is looking like I'll miss it, and I'm in London. Travelling though from January 12 through to mid-March. Hope it's the first and not the last meet-up! :)

  • We also need to think about the time of day for this meeting up - bearing in mind many of us may have 3-4 hour train journeys - so afternoon might make most sense? 
    Posted 4 days ago by JarkWoman Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Any of those dates is fine with me at the moment :)
    Posted 3 days ago by eviljen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I live in London so could probably do any date you chose. :)
    Posted 3 days ago by Agnes Snatchflannel Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ok, unless there are any major issues, I will start looking for a venue for the 19th.

    We could start at lunchtime and eat together (1pm), or we could start after lunch (3 or 4pm) - we probably shouldn't make it an evening thing as some folks may be travelling a long way.

    Time preferences?

  • If there was a London and Manchester party on the same day, there is no reason why they can't link up with Google hangout or similar. 
    Geezereth  I will look after the malts for you. I can be trusted, honest (shuffles feet).
    Posted 3 days ago by snygyst Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well..19th is good for me...and any time in the afternoon should be ok really...
    Posted 3 days ago by !$Harrump$! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm traveling in London, and thought you meant tonight by the thread title ... I am staying up and will need a drink to see Glitch go :(
