SN Meet Up!

[fio2]

Courtesy of Davros who seems really enthusiastic to have a meet up Would it ever be possible? Or would we have to have a virtual one

my problem is working full time - but will see what is suggested.... slack of me I know.... but I feel I see so little of dh and dd as it is....

I am too far away from everyone...

love the idea....it would be a very long journey for me but would do my utmost to attend

I'd try my best.

Where is Davros? I thought she would be on here by now organising us! I suppose if it would ever happen it would have to be central to the majority of people who would want to go. I dont drive either so for me would have to have rail or public transport links. I am in the midlands, 1hr30mins from central london which I wouldnt mind doing If it is too much we would have to have a 'virtual' one after all

Here I am! We've got half term this week so I'm a bit more intermittent than usual! I don't know, its a lovely idea, why doesn't anyone who's interested state their limitations as some already have? I'm in fairly central London, I drive so what about somewhere between London and the Midlands? Any ideas? Suppose this would not be good for a lot of us I'm sure (Jimjams?) Mind you, I also seem to have a disorder that makes me want to meet new people, join groups and talk non-stop so don't necessarily listen to me

My limitations are it would have to be a fairly simple rail journey (we have inter-city(is that what they are still called?) links anyway). I dont mind about steps as I would nag the rail staff the help me on and off the train/platform etc..

London is 550 miles from here ...

thought i was far, eulalia

I'd like to come...i'm near BATH so can get train fairly easily- would love it to be a SEN friendly place so the kids can come too- i 'dream' of them meeting others 'like'themselves....shame it's not summer....the local autism unit /outreach centre dis a mass picnic in september- but we need to find something under cover! I reckon we should hire the NEC!!!!! (HaHA!!) Seriously maybe we could all help pay for a more modest venue...not the Albert Hall this time!I suppose my limits would be bristol-birmingham- london- sothampton- in a circle!!!

oops! a bit OTT!!

I'd love to meet up. I work 4 full days and Fridays are spent at hospital, visiting pre-schools etc but if given warning I could keep a Friday free.

I would love to have a meet-up but unfortunately I cannot be away from ds for very long as I am his main carer nor could I bring him with me
I hope all of you/ if not all some could meet up as it is a wonderful idea.

Where are you doormat? Maybe we could meet very near you? I could do London, West Country, Midlands, S Wales. Hope we'll be able to sort something out, doesn't look easy

I am resurrecting this, as there is more of us now, and would love to have a SN meet-up, it would so cool (!) So what do you think?

I'd love to Fio, I'd been thinking about it too going on from the where do you live thread.

well I'm up for it someone suggest something please, i have never been an organiser! I will go and look at the loactions thread and see what we can do. I would have you all here, but I know it will be a bit far for some people, plus I dont have a field like beety, just a courtyard, but we have a beach at the end of the road which might be useful

i will go and look!(at the thread!)

I know I am very much still a newcomer, but I would love to meet you lovely ladies who have enlightened my life- I am no longer alone! (sad isn't it, when you have all these people around you but you find some of the people who understand you the most are complete strangers!)
I hope I'm not intruding!

Dingle EVERYONE is welcome newcomer/oldcomer, doesnt matter. This a SN meet up! lets have a disco

I'd like it too, but is it possible seeing as we are all over the place?

I dont know, we have to think about practicalities of it all. Are any of us rich? could one of us afford to rent a hotel out of all their downstairs rooms so we could all stay? and say, have a function room? with maybe a sensory room on-site?

putting that aside where can we all get to on the train or drive to?? Atm I can get into London, either charing cross/victoria very easily and then I wouldnt know where to go from there! but I could maybe sort myself out enough to get somehwere! I am trying to scan the locations page but have to keep refering to my map book, my geography is crap, I must admit, so it will take me a while.

Has anyone any practical solutions?
