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!

I’ve voted a bit erratically, I'm afraid, as I don’t know quite what I’ll be doing beyond the end of June - so it may be a case of ducking in if I find I can join in when the preferred date is chosen.

CrepuscularCritter · 07/04/2025 15:51

I've voted too. Looks at though there are quite a few popular dates.

SheilaFentiman · 07/04/2025 15:24

Voted! I put everything as Maybe except definite No because my plans are basically fluid :)

MegBusset · 07/04/2025 14:44

No email for me either, but have voted :) thanks Agua!

SheilaFentiman · 07/04/2025 12:56

I don't have the email but I will do the poll :)

Cherrypi · 07/04/2025 07:38

I didn't receive an email but have voted on doodle.

RomanMum · 07/04/2025 00:20

Hi Agua, I also didn’t receive an email but I just voted on Doodle. Thanks!

TimeforaGandT · 06/04/2025 22:48

Thanks Agua - didn't receive an email but have voted in the poll based on known movements for now which might share my email address with you?!

noodlezoodle · 06/04/2025 22:32

Hi Agua, I got your PM and have sent you an email from my unjumbled email address. Thank you!

JaninaDuszejko · 06/04/2025 21:35

Just to say, I have received the email (about an hour ago). London will probably be my second choice (particularly if the northern meet up is in York) so I'll vote for dates as a maybe.

BlueFairyBugsBooks · 06/04/2025 21:29

I haven't received an email either, but did the Doodle thing (never heard of it before. Very clever!)

ETA: my availability might change but i think we can edit Doodle? Only as my mum has a habit of booking things without checking with me first!

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 06/04/2025 20:46

Hello Agua! I don't see an email yet, but I sent in the dates on Doodle.
Thanks!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/04/2025 20:43

Sorry - just sent it now.

LeylaOfCircassia · 06/04/2025 20:36

Hi all - Agua calling.

Gosh it was a palava for you to share your email addresses, not sure why MN has such a problem!!

Below those who have the email (I hope), or who I had issues with.

https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dPWjgp1b Link for voting for dates here.

@Boiledeggandtoast and @noodlezoodle I couldn't work the emails out from the MN jumble I am afraid. Will try to drop you a PM (couldnt make it work from my phone account). @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I don't think you included an email.

I have now sent a LON email to:

Planning on dropping an email to those interested in London this weekend. If you get an email from a foreign looking name that will be be 😀 - some of you of course had emails last time.

Tarragon123 · 05/04/2025 12:04

Depending on dates, I could possibly make the Northern one 😁

ShackletonSailingSouth · 04/04/2025 21:44

lifeturnsonadime · 31/03/2025 22:44

If there's a london date set can someone pm please : )

Same here if possible 😊

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 02/04/2025 09:37

I’m interested in coming, probably London, but I have family in Manchester so will pm both, however I’m away for two weeks end of May/June so may not work out.

Boiledeggandtoast · 01/04/2025 06:37

highlandcoo · 31/03/2025 21:59

@Boiledeggandtoast that also happened to me in both emails I sent. A very brief message popped up and seemed to say that it was a matter of security, so I'm hoping the PMs sorted themselves out eventually.

Thank you @highlandcoo , fingers crossed.

lifeturnsonadime · 31/03/2025 22:44

If there's a london date set can someone pm please : )

lifeturnsonadime · 31/03/2025 22:42

Ooh I'm definitely up for this and could go north or south or both being Midlands based, depending on when they are arranged for!

highlandcoo · 31/03/2025 22:38

@bibliomania your York suggestion sounds great. I'm not sure how available I am this summer but fingers crossed ..

noodlezoodle · 31/03/2025 21:59

Good grief I'm an idiot. It turns out that I will not in face be in London in June, it will be end of July and the first half of August.

Sorry for being so off base and if plans are already being hatched for June, please go ahead without me. Not sure whether to blame perimenopausal brain fog or poor family communications but I am highly irritated with myself.

Boiledeggandtoast · 31/03/2025 15:56

I've also tried to send my email to @AgualusasLover but have had a stream of random characters where my email address should be. Hope it makes sense in your PM....
