I may actually try and go to this if I am feeling brave.

I've bought my ticket but am a bit confused as to how we find out the venue. I guess all will be revealed?

Nineteenagain · 05/01/2018 20:31

Me too Antique

AntiqueOlive · 05/01/2018 20:08

I've booked a ticket too.

I've been reading the Feminist boards since Spartacus, and just delurked today on another thread. Nervously excited about attending the event.

Nineteenagain · 05/01/2018 14:09

Great!

Seeingadistance · 05/01/2018 13:19

I've just bought my ticket! Strange sense of anticipation mixed with WTF?! that this is happening at all!

SonicBoomBoom · 05/01/2018 12:52

I am planning on going too!

I think central meet up then taxis a good idea. Also thanks to Plectrum for the idea of multiple pms.

Lemonjello · 04/01/2018 14:40

I’m going too and would be up for meeting up beforehand. I’m really nervous about it but I think it will be so valuable meeting likeminded women in real life and so I will be brave.
I reckon the venue will be central and if not, it would be easy enough to meet centrally and share a taxi?

PlectrumElectrum · 03/01/2018 01:47

I'll try & log on the desk top site tomorrow & try multiple PM recipients. So if anyone gets a weird PM, that'll be me.

I think we're all a tad wary about this so I'll try and do some advance searching to verify as many people posting here as possible. I'm happy for anyone to AS me/my posts too Smile

If I don't get a chance tomorrow I'll def try before the w/e unless someone beats me to it.

Can you message more than one person at once here? We really need a WhatsApp group, I think, to arrange a meet-up. That way, no one needs to give their real names or MN identities. I can't think of the logistics ATM, but I'm happy to set one up. I know you can't be sure I am who I say I am (an almost 50-year-old female) but I have been on here for years and years, and I've met MNer prettybird in real life, so she could vouch for me. What do you think the easiest way to do it is?

PlectrumElectrum · 02/01/2018 22:14

We could decide a couple of places at different parts of town to go with the eventual venue? Say something west end, something central, something east end, Southside etc. seeing as we don't know yet when venue will be announced/where etc.?

I probably know east end best, haven't a clue where is good west end/Southside?

Didactylos · 02/01/2018 12:56

am going too

Nineteenagain · 02/01/2018 12:47

Would love to meet somewhere first. Shall those of us who know glasgow pm each other with suggestions? Not ideal I know.

Nineteenagain · 02/01/2018 12:42

Im going. Provided Ive got rid of this flippin flu!

Ereshkigal · 02/01/2018 12:37

I'm not going to this one as it's too far, but as the venue will be under pressure from TRAs to cancel as soon as it's announced like the one in London and the one in York I imagine they will hold off announcing the exact location until quite soon before the event.

AgentProvocateur · 02/01/2018 11:44

@rjnomore1, the plan was for anyone who wants to meet up beforehand and go as a group. I’m more nervous about meeting other MNers than any possible intimidation at the venue. None of us know each other - we’ll all be in the same boat.

Amethyst975 · 02/01/2018 11:41

This event sounds brilliant. I don’t live anywhere near so can’t go. Please come back and tell us all about it!

RJnomore1 · 02/01/2018 11:35

I've just seen this and I'd like to go but I'm nervous?

AgentProvocateur · 02/01/2018 11:32

I don’t know - the day before maybe? I’m planning to go straight from work, so it makes no odds to me. But some people will need to plan transport.

Oh gosh, I hadn't realised it was so close - haven't heard anything about location yet though - when do you think we will hear?

Bumping this, as it’s next week. Hope you’re all still able to go.

unlimiteddilutingjuice · 18/12/2017 21:28

I'm going! See you all there :)

furcoatnaeknickers · 18/12/2017 21:26

Ah no I would have loved to go to this but am working 😕
Sounds like some great speakers will be there. I hope it’s recorded for people who can’t go to watch later

iismum · 18/12/2017 20:09

Just seen this. I'm going to try to make it. I feel nervous about going but also feel angry that I feel like that. Aghh! I'd definitely be interested in any Edinburgh-based events.

terryleather · 18/12/2017 19:49

That's fantastic news Plectrum, thanks for sharing.

I'm very excited to hear Miranda speak.
