March is out as Beate can't do the 5th-12th, and Diane65 can't do 19 March and then it is Easter Weekend.

I can't do 16 April. ;)
It's looking like 2nd or 9th April. Shall I put those to dates up for a vote or add a few more dates.

Haha! That's decided then! I will check with MrGlass to see if 2nd is good for him too! ;)
Anyone else? Or we will have to look into May?

Hey there,

It would be really nice to see you guys again.

I'd prefer London as I live there but I acknowledge that this has been done before.

If you guys confirm a date I'm sure I can take it off as a holiday or my day off during the week :)

Brilliant so pleased that you will be attending. We will get a date sorted asap. I take my hat off to you still for the massive effort you went to to attend Edinburgh.

As an idea as we have already been to London on a trip could we perhaps do the meet up at Greenwich as there is loiads to visit there for free? Plus quite a few offers on 2 for 1 if you travel by train and you are happy to p*y.
Also if you are travelling on Virgin trains you can get a Super Off-Peak Travelcard which is from Manchester £41.20 return but does include zones 1-6

That's fab chelle1973! Well done.
Well MrGlass can make 2 April. So 2 April it is! Let's get the ball rolling....

I will set up a poll to see how many people are coming, so I can book a venue. I was thinking we could visit the Sky Garden which is free too. We will need to book though, unless it is after 6pm, not sure about weekends though, will have to enquire.

Hi Everyone

This year's FMUKCON is back in London by consensus.

Please can people vote to give us an idea of how many are coming so we can choose the best venue/get the best deal for us all.

Thank you!
