Hi all. We are in the process of planning a Meet for Oxford in May 2012. Katie123 has offered to accomodate up to 7 people, and I will need some help re finding hotels in that area - any volunteers? We are thinking of it happening over a weekend - with a meal out somewhere nice on the Saturday. A date has not yet been decided - but as soon as it is I will post details of flights from Ireland. For now - can we have an idea of those who would be interested in attending?

Sounds great Cliath! I am always interested in attending meets if I can but I cant make a firm commitment until nearer the date.

Hi Cliath, I'm very interested from the Friday to Sunday

Will do some research for you re: Guest Houses etc...

Think this will be a good pointer to something both cost effective and decent..

Hi Cliath, suppose it depends a lot on where we will all meet up and the proximity of where Katie lives..Sure she will have some idea's about a meeting place..I'm happy to use a Guest House, after camping breaks that's luxury to me Hope we get some more input..Most of the Guest Houses I've listed have free wifi so that's useful..

These events usually take a bit of time to take off, keith, so don't hold your breath waiting for an instant amount of interest. I will have the notification put in the weekly newsletter - when we have agreed dates

I think - it may be the Botley Rd area of Oxford......

Hi Cliath, Understand. Have organised Events and it does take a while to get things off the ground. Good luck with it though..

Is Katie's place far from Buckingham,
Ive been invited there, after all they stayed with me,
Dont tell the rest. 

[Graham1]

Hi scrummy.Oxford isnt far from Buckingham, probably about 25-30 miles

[scrummy]

They will probably send the horses and coach for me.

[Graham1]

Buckingham is a very old town so it wouldn't surprise me!

[Cliath]

Ahh lads! What are ye like?

Scrummy - are ye going to try to make this one? I will be organising an "Ireland" one for later in the year - so you can have lots of time to think about it Again - will look to those interested re where it will be this time. Somewhere central on the island I think is the fairest way to do it.

As soon as Katie123 is home from Wales I will post dates for "The Oxford" meet

[scrummy]

Dunno CL, i will prob be hangin with the other Kate, not 123.

[Cliath]
