Dani 4,084 The Queen of DaniWeb

Everything's gotta start somewhere :) Consider a small gathering a dry run.

There's small and there's me plus a couple of others. :)

I suspect that something like a DaniWeb UK Chinese Dinner in Chinatown, London might be flexible and fun...

UrbanKhoja 89 Practically a Posting Shark Featured Poster · Answer 3 · 2006-09-11T23:29:25+00:00

london would be nice as well as easy to get to, with good rail and air links etc

Sounds a really cool idea! Also, me being a newbie woudl like to meet up with new friends! Unfortunately though, chrissy is out for me as thats familty time! (God I still miss my computer during those times, they are just not interested in computers!!) but, say, the end of Nov, beginning of Dec would be cool (actually COLD!!) but still cool!!

When I say xmas I mean start December for the same reasons: my wife would have me made into a lampshade and some cushion covers if I was anywhere but home for the xmas break itself.

Do you think we could get the Queen to come herself? (Of course, the queen I am talking about would be Danni!!)

Hey Scott! Welcome back, we've missed you here...

UrbanKhoja 89 Practically a Posting Shark Featured Poster · Answer 10 · 2006-09-30T00:51:42+00:00

maybe someone should compile a list to see just how many would go the uk meet? happygeek?

Scottg1989 2 Junior Poster · Answer 11 · 2006-09-30T01:26:01+00:00

yeah sounds like a good idea.. maybe if you could pm the people who have said they might be able to just for further confirmation?

its nice that people saying they would like to go, but we dont actually know how many, that makes happygeeks task of organising it all a little challenging :lol:

:lol:ya didn't take long to figure that one out. Thanks bruv for the welcome. So what about this get together I could really use an excuse for a night out:cheesy: .

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 16 · 2006-10-01T15:06:51+00:00

OK folks, I have now added a poll in order to get a clear idea of numbers.

Please only vote yes if you are 100% up for it...

krea2r 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 17 · 2006-10-01T20:29:11+00:00

Just edited my silly question regarding the poll lol

Scottg1989 2 Junior Poster · Answer 18 · 2006-10-03T12:48:09+00:00

So, how many people would be adequate for the meet to go ahead?

i suppose that also depends where we decide to go

darren :cool:

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 20 · 2006-10-04T15:56:58+00:00

Good points both:

How many? More than 4 I would say, otherwise it only takes a couple of no-shows and the whole thing is ruined.

Where? Yep, depends on the numbers. Over 6 and under 10 would seem to be best suited to a restaurant setting, over 10 a pub/club/private room with a bar or similar.

Yep, getting more like it now.

Let's see how it goes to the end of the month when the poll closes and then we can make firm arrangements as to where and when.

UrbanKhoja 89 Practically a Posting Shark Featured Poster · Answer 27 · 2006-10-05T17:27:37+00:00

at last were getting somewhere lol, although once the poll closes we're still going to have to decide what to do or where to go lol

darren :cool:

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 28 · 2006-10-05T20:14:29+00:00

Well we can offset that pain a little by trying to sort a date out amongst us folk who have said yay nice and early.

So let's get the ball rolling with:

Weekday or weekend?
Lunchtime or after 5pm?

Makes no difference to me, to be honest. Which isn't exactly helpful and decisive, but is at least honest.
