lol, any excuse to wear women's clothes!

Is this thing supposed to be held at someone's house then or what? Who has a big house? And who doesn't mind the risk of people they don't know coming in and potentially being naughty (eg helping themselves to one's possessions)?

Not having ever done such a meet before, how do we ensure there are no such problems? Is this forum immune to riff-raff? I'd like to think it is but you never quite know...

Would people be bringing various bits of kit to show off? I'd imagine that's a big part of it, so it needs to be somewhere we can actually listen to gear properly.

Who here has done a meetup like this before and how did it all work out?

I've done a meet up with the BMW car club, we hired a race track for the day and did loads of tyre ripping

Also did a meet up with some mates I play Xbox online with and we went to Alton Towers. That was a right laugh.

Not sure how this would work though

A hotel seems like a good bet. 'Domestic' conditions without disrupting someone's home, and drinks, food and accomodation readily available!

[pinkmouse]

I was thinking of possibly two options, a pub with function room/s (and B+B would be nice), or a village hall type thing.

[poynton]

More than one room would be better.

One for general display / bragging, one or more for listening/comparing.

I think 2 (at least) would be better to cope with the analog/digital rivalry!

Hotels usually have small function rooms as well as conference rooms.
Obviously, someone with good haggling skills will have to do the honours.



Also, if the date is made later rather than earlier, announcements could be made in the local press and national hifi mags. to drum up interest if a swap meet was held. Entry, table fees would help with costs.

We could also get more people along if we advertised it to TV fans.
