bvf Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 In a Personal Messenger exchange with Timber, he floated the idea of a UK member get-together next year. I think that's a great idea - perhaps lunch in a pub, so I'd like to guage if there is an appetite for this. If you might be interested in this, could you respond and indicate what town or area you live in. I don't want to pre-judge things, but if it turns out that our geographic distribution is London-centric, could you also indicate whether central London would be a practicable meeting place for you.

Guest Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi Bernard. Is this invitation extendable to members in the U.S. as well? I travel to England on occasion for business, and could possibly just be in the neighborhood at the time. Who knows!? Link to comment
nfoto Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Same goes for me. Just a "little hop" across the North Sea in the wake of the Vikings ... On a general note, we admins enjoy the suggestion that members can team up and learn to know each other better. Link to comment
bvf Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Of course - I had no intention to be nationalistic, I was just thinking of logistics. If anything comes of this, I'll include you in the discussions. Link to comment
Adrian Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Bernard,Yes I would be very interested in a meet up.I live in Surrey, so London not a problem for me! Link to comment
Timber Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I am planning to move to Liverpool next year, but always happy to meet people with similar interest :) So as long I am still in Europe (because if Brexit goes bad I might leave for Philippines :D) I will come :) Link to comment
nfoto Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Any news on a potential meet-up in the UK? British Isles (and Ireland) are on my favourite list and it's been a while since I last visited London.I'm going to Santa Fe to meet Andrea mid April to early May, but that's my only definite commitment at present.

bvf Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi, Birna. No, I'm afraid there wasn't really enough interest to get people to meet up. Pity. Link to comment
nfoto Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I concur -- a pity. On our sister site, Nikongear.net, we have had great success by members meeting up on various occasions. Sometimes quite improvised, in some cases arranged and eagerly awaited by the participants. Perhaps we should have a "billboard" on which we post itineraries whenever we travel abroad? That could spur spurious meet-ups. Link to comment
dabateman Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Well I never travel. But if anyone is ever in the Washington DC area. Let me know. Could be fun to go to Brookside Gardens near me.https://www.montgomeryparks.org/parks-and-trails/brookside-gardens/ Link to comment
