Hi Guys and Gals,

This could be a long way off but I have plans to organise a Freaks get together......How cool is that!? :cool:

My plan is to obviously invite every member on here but initially I would have to organise it in the South of the UK which I know could be a problem for some people North of the country.
I do apologise in advance but if this proves popular, they could be more central in times to come.

My idea has been brought about because of my personal experiences with members of which have become friends and I thought that if only people I have met could meet each other I know they would get on so well....

The Plan:

I would like to make the gathering nothing more than some grub and pleanty of booze however there will be a hotel room if you need it!
It would be held in a pub in Southampton which is actually the only film / collecting memorabilia pub I know, it just happens to be run by a good friend of mine!!
He has contact with a nice hotel down the road from the pub and has promised cut price rooms,food and drinks!! I do however need to get a rough idea on numbers and then we can start talking about a price.

If it is something you would like to do, please let me know and I can start the ball rolling with dates etc.

On the other side of the coin, please tell me if you think its a crap idea and I will go and cry in the corner! :lol

Anybody that would be interested in the future but can't travel so far down South I would love to hear from you as well! You never know it could be nearer you in the future......

:wave Cheers for now!!
 
I think thats a great idea...and there is certainly no need to go and cry in a corner!! :lol

Whats this film themed pub like? :)

Its pretty cool for what it is mate, it has collectables on show and even shows movies on the big flat screen tellies :lol

I'll edit the original post with a web link to his website!
 
Sounds good Lee, even in the South West its a trek for me.
Might be in if you get a few more peeps as it would be a laugh.
 
I allways thought of a day meet at Forbidden Planet London and a London Movie walkaround ending up at Planet Hollywood or Modellers Loft for a spares raid. Lee is there any 1/6 shops near you ?
 
I think its damn time one of you UK freaks stood up to the plate and started this! :rock We in the US have had several. Good luck and have fun! :duff

Hi Mate, yes its a good idea but its more of an all day event which could be something for the future? I'm thinking that my idea is a good intro and see how it goes from there? if your talking about shops in Southampton, I have no idea, I don't live there, I'm about an hour and 45 mins away myself...sorry mate.

I ll be up for this!!Could take somebody as well.

Excellent mate!! the more the merrier!! Awesome! :banana

Thanks man, it should be a scream! :joy

:rock:rock:rock

'Bout time! :lol

I'm in... :D

Hey mate, long time no speak, glad you will try and make it....:chew
 
Why dont you look at doing a meet up at Memorabilia at the NEC, its in the midlands and when I went with my mates in November we had a good laugh - we could also go out in Bham on the night?

Just an idea

I was just thinking the same. I know there's the SDCC parties, and then the West/East coast get-togethers. Time for international!!!!!
 
It might be too far for me to attend but I am keen to know how will this UK gathering turn up? Do keep the rest of the world posted.:lol

We're getting a larger and larger contingent on your side of the world too - you guys should organize something as well.

I'd go to a meeting in Singapore anytime!.....

Just as long as someone picks up the bill for the flight :monkey3
 
I'd be up for it. But since I live in Hull and on a student budget to top it off in my final year. Both time and money are tight. :(

Sounds good though. Hope all thats attending have fun!
