            OK folks - what do you want? I've had a couple of people say they won't be able to make both/Blackpool, but would come on the official meet.
 Who still wants an OS meet in November?
 Who wants to go to the official MSE meet and can't afford the time/money to go to both?
 Who wants a rearranged OS meet sometime next year (early spring perhaps?)
 I'm easy either way (as they say ) I'll carry on with the November meet if that's what the majority want, but if it's going to be within a couple of weeks of the official MSE meet, I don't want to ruin the chance for people to go to that if they can only get to one of them and end up as Billy-no-mates in a cheap B&B looking like Eleanor Rigby ) I'll carry on with the November meet if that's what the majority want, but if it's going to be within a couple of weeks of the official MSE meet, I don't want to ruin the chance for people to go to that if they can only get to one of them and end up as Billy-no-mates in a cheap B&B looking like Eleanor Rigby 0 0

            I'm not trying to be a killjoy - and I would attend both! but... the one in York had loads of people saying how they would go but only 4 of us turned up in the end. Given it's near xmas whichever month it is and also people's limited time/money I would say forget it until Feb at least. How many definite people have you got? If none, then I would really suggest leaving it!Torgwen.......... ...........0 ...........0

            I have had 15-20 people (including a few partners) saying they will be attending, which enough to have a good time, but I thought I'd give people the option now of saying they want to go to the official meet and would come to an OS meet next year, rather than have a half hearted affair now 
 However, if all OSers who want to go are still up for a meet, regardless of the official one, then let's party on 0 0

 Does that include the trip TO Stansted?

            Hi all
 Thank you Curry Queen, Ticklemouse and all who answered my thread!
 Hey this is really exciting, I need to check my diary but it sounds like a great idea - I am so glad I did not mis-read it (shows I am not totally senile yet, then hehee).
 Hi Lilibet, hows life with Spud? I am sure you are doing a great job of mummyying OS! I echo Bargain Rzl in saying that SPUD MUST COME to the meet - good intro to OS for him, too!
 Fran, if I come I'll bring a guitar, make sure you got the fiddle!
 Ok all, will let you know how it goes once I have read the official thread
 Love and hugs

 I would love to go to both, but will only go to the big MSE one if it is in London.
 Looking forward to more news!
