London BD
Since there seems to be an East-Coast BD meet-up in arrangement, why not have a London/England one? I'd CERTAINLY come. If it was in London. And my Madre let me. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah. There seems to be several meet-ups in America, but none in England. But whether I could come or not would depend on when it was, as I live in the north of England.
Good idea all the same. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, depending where it was and if I could persuade my mum it wasnt really me meeting up with people I have no real idea about...
I live in the North West of England- Greater Manchester- so Im afraid London is a little out of bounds. Unless I oculd persuade my dad to let me use his house, which is never going to happen. For a few years anyway.

I live 200 hundred odd miles from London, but who cares? Though I've been to London hundreds of times, since I have a lot of relatives there.

Something like that, Birdie dear. Although I do flit across the ocean periodically, so you never know. I advise the Philadelphia one to be in the last week of April and the London one in the first week of May. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Then you shall be bowled over by a double helping of London-style French Radicalism. Even if Birdie's statuesque puns prove beyond me.

London's about half an hour by train from me. I'd be interested.
Edit: it's nice to see that the British contingent isn't asleep. I know that there are more of us, though. Where are you all? [ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ]

Hm, well unless there's a BD thing in Scotland anytime (which I doubt, due to the lack of Scottish downers) I can't make it. London is just a wee bit too far. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Actualy, I have more chance of going if it was in Scotland, especialy if it was near Glasgow. I live in Greater Manchester to, but I go to Glasgow frequently.

Manchester would be great for me too, I'm not that far away. I could manage London too. It would definitely be nice to meet some people who don't think I'm a freak for reading Tolkien....

Are there any Tolkienistas from Canterbury (or near to) on here? Then maybe we could work something out about a meeting in Canterbury. Just a thought, as I will be quite near Canterbury in the Easter break. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Just struck by the similar conversations and discussion of places here and those threads regarding the US Meetings. Two hundred miles feels like a long way, doesn't it? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] We really do have a skewed perspective on distance. Or, perhaps more pertinently, they do. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It's not the distance that's the issue, just the age. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] 16 or not, I can't just go running off down to England when I have exams and stuff. Oh well, can always dream.

I didnt realise you knew dragon in real life.
There is no way in eternity that my parents are actually ever going to let me, unless it was in a public place like the Trafford Centre or something and then I wouldnt be actually going to party with people I dont know of the web...

That would affect most of us, because most of us here are under 18, I presume. Oh dear. Well, the parents could come too, provided they were not completely against LotR... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My mum loves Lotr, but she would kill me if she knew is was on this forum. Stupid not being allowed on forums or chat.... I'm 14 for crying out loud!
Yes, me and dragon know each other in real life. We're best friends! In fact, I walked 2 miles to hers this morning (in the snow) WOOO! NO SCHOOL! (well, it's actually 22:25 here now, but oh well!) ~Elentari I the insane (or indigestable) |

a meeting with parents? I suppose there is no other option for us, um, younger members. The Trafford centre is a good idea, but the thought of dragging by dad there is not worth thinking about. Still, for his eldest daughtor, in place of pocket money. I am thirteen, but though I look twelve, I have always been in a class full of people a year older than me, so i am really fourteen.
Will the dream ever happen?

What would we actualy do when we got there? Ists all very well chatting on a forum, but in real life, what would happen?
What we should do is hire a room of some sorts and have a showing of the DVDs. No need to talk if you dont really want to.

What would be great if we had a day of Lotr, showing all three from 9-9 but that would be crazy. We'd need some kind of 'getting to know each other' activity. Perhaps going out somewhere or having a party maybe, but how old is everyone (not old enough to drink I guess, I'm not either...but I do). Any suggestions.
Carrying on with my crazy idea, if we came down one day, slept, had a day of lotr, slept went home, with get together things in between....stupid???

not stupid, would it would be hell to arrange, not to mention expensive, unless we could stay with each other.
Just for the record, who would want to come, but is under, say, 16?

well, im over that. Surely many could stay with relatives and others might be able to get cheap places, like travel inns or something? I don't know, is that any good.

Jeez, how many year 9s are there here?! I count about 5 so far... Going to one of your houses is a pretty much complete no no. Someplace public is really my only option, and Elentaris it seems. Then, even if parents were there, we could say we just happened to meet each other, friends friends or something... Oh man, I am so dishonest.

We would need to hire a conference room type of place, because we would need something to play the movies on, either an actual cinema or some kind of projection system. I really don't know much about this. If we had a central base kinda place, where we all stayed, it would be cool. We could go shopping (don't I sound such a girl...no offence meant) and have a party or something in this place.

Maybe the new Lowry then? You can book a private cinema there, and the designer outlets beside it (hmm, I wouldnt have thought guys would be into that...Fin... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ). That would come back to the expense thing though; it is kinda expensive.

new lowry????
Yeh I like shopping, weird eh [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] We really need to find some costs. the only rpice I know off the top of my head is that a travel inn room costs about £44, and thats for any size room. Surely mates could share, I'd share with Donlammenion if I had to. But we might not wanna do that. I'll be back later, keep talking.

I'm Year9! Count me! Count me!
So I take it Mnchester is a definite yes then... Oh dear...that will take a LOT of manipulative behaviour...better get started.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Well, as most of us are in school, the curriculum is the same, so we would be able to find a time during the holidays to meet up...I think. Though I can't do Easter break. Hey, we could all revise for SATs together! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] *mutters*stupid private school doesn't have to do SATs but wants to for stupid ratings in the stupid papers and overloads innocent girls... I'll shut up now.
