FMUKCON - Saturday, 20 April 2013 - London

[Ms Thrifty]

Hold your horses or you-know-who will have us restaging The Hunger Games next!

[Diane65]

Well, it is my birthday 3 days later so i'm treating it as an early party.

Yours and Beate's almost in the same week it certainly will be one birthday bash

Yes! Do we get to give you the bumps, steve9872? (I am sure that exercise fanatic Diane65 will want to incorporate some sort of physical activity to stop people getting sluggish.)

The bumps can be arranged As for exercise mad it's a case of needs must (I do like it though)

[Diane65]

Train fares have been released for 20th April now but the cheap early ones are only up to 13th March as yet so unless you're "minted" hang fire. I will keep you posted when they are released - I'm looking out for Manchester, Birmingham, Durham, Leeds and Liverpool and will post on here and pm akh43, steve, Betty Botter, rawr_xoxo, Andrews, Steve9872 and Jordsmum when they are released and anyone else who wants me too. Yogi and OH are going down a few days before just in case anyone thinks that I have forgotten about them

[steve9872]

I'm interested in the event schedule, so I can plan accomodation as necessary.

prettyxcool is organising the location and the Machester FMUKers will be there at the meet up from 12noon until 3pm basically for the entire time of the meet up. We are just going down for the day so will arrive at about 9ish and leave on the 7ish train. We are going to do a bit of sight seeing when we get there until the meet up and possibly a spot after to make the most of the day. I think that Jordsmum and Andrews may meet up with us before and after as we are good friends anyway and they are usually happy to go on a tour with me Ii'm not that bossy really and I will let them have 30 minutes free time if they are good

[steve9872]

So its just a luncheon then. Looks like I will have to organise accommodation anyway or i'll be a wreck.

We only said the core times purely so that we're not all sat there all day hoping that someone turns up. I imagine that it will go on a lot longer than this but as everyone has different commitments we thought that it would be a good idea to do a roughly set time and then you can party as long as you like after We've got lots of stamina in Manchester so we can cope doing it in one day and Andrews is made of even stronger stuff coming from Durham for the day We're open to suggestions and ideas as it's everyone's day we're just the instigators

Count me in Diane. I'll go with the flow, so to speak! Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Any room for Londoners on the morning sightseeing tour? There are loads of places I should have been to but don't bother because I can go 'anytime'?

[Diane65]

Yes of course there is Jeanelle but you have to walk in pairs and hold hands
It is so true about living in a place and making the most of it. Last year Andrews and Jordsmum came to Manchester for the day and it was good fun being a visitor in your own city and had afternoon tea in the town hall - which I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know they did it until I started looking into it.
