50 Bookers 2025 Meet Up

310 replies

MamaNewtNewt · 27/03/2025 12:44

Just setting up a chat to firm up plans for a Southern meet up and a Northern meet up.

Lets see who is interested, then firm up locations and dates.

I know there are a few of us who want to come but might not be able to make it, so no judgement at all for those who decide nearer the time that they can’t make it. Hope to meet some of you this year!

Sorry to hear that MamaNewtNewt, don't worry about the meetup, your family is more important.

Echoing what everyone else is saying.
Thinking of you MamaNewtNewt 💐

I’m really sorry I haven’t sent details of the northern meet up yet. We’ve had some bad news about the health of a family member who is now receiving hospice care. I’ll try to send out this weekend.

please don't worry about this @MamaNewtNewt - sending good wishes to you and your loved one.

Sorry to hear that @MamaNewtNewt 💐

Thinlyveiled · 17/06/2025 11:30

I would be interested. Newcastle or Edinburgh ?

Please don’t trouble yourself @MamaNewtNewt thinking of you! Flowers

Sorry to hear that @MamaNewtNewt and of course you should prioritise the family stuff - don't feel under any pressure about the meet-up. Do you need some help with it?

Hello hello - nothing to report right now, but just wanted to remind anyone who does not have it in their diary that London will be 19 July.

MegBusset · 05/05/2025 13:21

I won’t be able to make the northern meet but hope you all have a fabulous time!

LadybirdDaphne · 03/05/2025 21:07

@MamaNewtNewt Thanks for the northern meet-up form, I didn’t completely it as I’m only in the country at the end of September (didn’t expect you to cater for that Smile). Have a great time and I’ll be with you in spirit!

BlueFairyBugsBooks · 03/05/2025 15:42

No worries Agua, just don't want to miss it Smile

Fabulous. All filled in. Can't do some weekends due to prior commitments.

AgualusasLover · 03/05/2025 15:36

No, that my fault Blue. I will send a second batch of emails once I get to my laptop.

BlueFairyBugsBooks · 03/05/2025 15:33

I haven't had an email about the London meet up. Not sure if it's not been sent yet as I was late submitting my form!

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 03/05/2025 15:27

Thanks so much @MamaNewtNewt for organising. I'd love to join in, but do have a few commitments on some of the dates suggested. Happy to travel to any of those locations though. Fingers crossed the dates work out!

Thank you Mama! I got the email, but I had to fish it out of spam! I'll have a think about dates and locations and will fill in the form.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I am an Executive Assistant by day, so organising is my thing.

I got back from holiday last night so am sending the northern email today. I tried to do it on my iPad but it was a bit of a nightmare so will send from my laptop today.

Thanks for the London email! I’m genuinely in awe at the efficiency of the planning.

I haven’t seen a Northern email, so must have done something wrong somewhere.

CrepuscularCritter · 03/05/2025 06:45

The plans sound great. I just need to remember not to buy too many books in the first hour, then stagger around all day. Grin

JaninaDuszejko · 02/05/2025 21:38

I've not received the northern email. I can't remember if I filled in a northern google form but did sent a PM. However I added an extra full stop at the end of my email address so it may just be that.
