It'd cost me £69 to get to Birmingham New Street at 11.38, leaving at 18.22 to get back home.
Decisions, decisions.
Please do Z.
Would love to meet up with you again
Happy to be on Defiant.

I presume that includes the trick of splitting the journey in Peterborough which can make it a fair bit cheaper. I'm going Norwich-Birmingham Fri-Sun, and doing this cuts the cost from 72 to fiftysomething by buying 2 returns Norwich-PBoro and PBoro-Brum. I'd have thought same day would be cheaper (edit, looks like £51 ish or possibly less if you book singles on specific trains for the journey to/from Norwich plus your local train to get here).

The £51 I got was for an earlier journey back home, which while decreases the cost increases the cost for the time I'd spend there.|

On talking it over with my mum though, I think I will have to leave this one. We lost my dad this year and she's got some stuff coming up, so the last thing I want is her worrying about me travelling across the country, as she is wont to do.
Hey All
Just planning ahead for the weekend - as mentioned, I'm travelling up on the Friday. There was mention of perhaps a meet up in a pub on the Friday evening - is that still a plan ?
I've got to squeeze in gym / training sessions throughout the weekend as well, so just trying to get my faff together.

Heya,
A few of us are meeting up in The Square Peg (Weatherspoons) on Corporation Street. Gangrel and I should be there around 4ish after dropping our stuff off at the hotel, and will be there for a while.
Between 8-9pm Gangrel and a few of the others will be heading down to Scruffy Murphy's (the rock pub near Global Gaming) for the rest of the night. I'll more than likely be back at the hotel playing online

Seffs has been ill this last month, but can still remember where the place was. Hoping to get there for 11/12ish on Saturday and then not sleep for about 24+ hours. Helping!
In your dreams, I'll still be there with all the days that never came.
And I'll be just a story.
That's ok, we're all stories in the end...
Oh so we will have the game of tripping over the sleeping Seffs again
Happy to be on Defiant.

Heya,
Kendai/Elder Simons and I will be there on Saturday at about 2pm. And count us in for all of sunday.
We will both have laptops.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Btw, for those playing late Saturday night, these events http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...88#post4381588 will be going on at 10pm/11pm which people might want to support.

Good show, I should be able to get The Square Peg by about 6pm. Time will tell if I have the endurance to last the night though |

Sorry to jump in so late, but are there any more spaces for this?
Interested in 2 places and ideally will need 2 PCs - but can bring own ones up at a push.
Travelling up from Kent on Saturday morning, so aiming to be there early afternoon and then going again on Sunday.
Really just seeing if there's availability at this stage.

You're just in luck. Global Gaming have 2 computers left as I've allocated 13 so far out of 15, so I'll put you down for the last two. |

Due to the recent news I'm not quite sure how many other folks will be turning up that aren't on the list, or if any of the 'maybes' will be coming along. So I'm hoping there'll be enough room for everyone. If not, I apologise! Hoping other folks can maybe share, or chat and stuff *Panics*.

I've been in touch with both the http://www.expressandstar.com/ and http://www.birminghammail.net/ to let them know the meet is happening and why.
I'm not sure what response we'll get but figured better to let them know ASAP.

*is now in Birmingham, eating junk food* o.O
This had gone out of my mind with the recent issues - looks like all the PCs are now gone but do they have any spare monitors available.
I'm local so can get along at any time.

I'm coming in to the city centre to do some shopping soon, I'll pop in this afternoon to say hello .
�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
Just another quick thank you to Kallandra for organising this. Both mrs rat (now known as FebruaryStar) and i had a great time and being part of the rally on Virtue with a group of other like minded people made the whole thing that much more memorable. Great to meet people and be able to put faces to names.

Had a fine time, big thanks to Kallandra and Gangrel for organising.
Good to put some names to faces.

I'm kinda hoping to perhaps just run a 'generic meet' of some kind next year, although no idea as yet where I'd advertise it. Will have to wait and see. But I'd like to stay in contact with everyone.
