Well... I'd love to meet you all!

Anyone who thinks they might be interested in coming to meet and talk books, post here.

There are going to be lots of dates, ideas and places and i wonder if anyone would be willing to organise with me?? It would mean private messaging and perhaps moving to WhatsApp or email at some point. Maybe 3 of us?

I have completed although I’m not sure if I’m going to go so don’t allow my responses to influence any final decision!

bibliomania · 29/02/2024 12:21

Done, thank you. I have to avoid the whole GCSE period or will be accused of heartless child abandonment.

noodlezoodle · 28/02/2024 22:14

Done!

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 28/02/2024 21:58

I've added my availability too

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 28/02/2024 21:34

Completed, thank you!

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 28/02/2024 21:31

highlandcoo · 28/02/2024 20:39

Completed thank you 🙂

Midnightstar76 · 28/02/2024 19:36

Done @StColumbofNavron thanks for organising a poll

CrepuscularCritter · 28/02/2024 18:47

Spreadsheet duly completed. Sounds as though a plan is coming together. Smile

StColumbofNavron · 28/02/2024 18:20

I double checked the email situation and tested it and shouldn’t be able to see them
at all.

@PermanentTemporary

I've sent you a PM

Sadik · 28/02/2024 16:51

Thanks StColumbo. I won't complete the poll as I'm very much a maybe only due to distance, but will see what I can do once dates are set :)

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 28/02/2024 16:50

I'm not going to fill the form in because I am undecided and can make most dates

magimedi · 28/02/2024 16:34

I just looked at the poll, out of nosiness as am not in the UK. It showed my email at the top - and not the one I use for Mumsnet. I hope noone else can see it!

Edit: I've just worked out why - it's because I am logged into google.

StColumbofNavron · 28/02/2024 15:12

The poll for dates is officially open.

Shall we say a week or so? Can always extend if necessary.

StColumbofNavron · 26/02/2024 22:23

@MamaNewtNewt in the organising action too.

I’ll create a poll, I think we opted for August as the best possible time range but was planning to work from May/June and August and then see where we end up.

If we all end up siting roughly together and reading in silence it will be totally successful x

I'm up for that!

A massive thanks to Perm and Columb for coordinating us.

RomanMum · 26/02/2024 16:29

Thanks PT. I luffs a spreadsheet me 😁

@sadik I’d be up for a Welsh meet up sometime. I’m very boring though.

I'm boring too!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 26/02/2024 09:26

This is cool. I wish I had the courage to say I'll definitely come

highlandcoo · 26/02/2024 09:03

Brilliant, thank you for doing that! I hope I can make at least one meet-up 🙂

Morning 50 book meet up people.

I spent an enjoyable time with a spreadsheet and a Brew yesterday. Results blurrily shown below - lowest score is most popular. And in with a bullet is LONDON due to a high number of second choices.

In fact first choice cities were equal - London and Manchester got 15 first choices each. So we agree that organising two dates is a great idea. No restrictions- come to both if you like! Apologies to the Western folks as Bath unfortunately had the biggest number of people who couldn't get there at all.

Next step is dates - @StColumbofNavron will post soon about that. Then we'll think about specific locations. Spring is coming!
