Mask - how do I pm you?! I am illiterate

Also, god, fourkids has just opened a can of worms I didn't even know existed

It will be very complex having to maintain a false identity for a whole evening, I can usually only manage it for 20 minutes in Asda

i think that's very sensible about the room arrangements and payment. I think let each person book as they wish. Is the plan to get together and eat and drink somewhere and then if people wish they can stay where they chose, or is the plan to all stay in same hotel? With your suggestion, babyheave, people could book to stay wherever they like and get a bargain if they search for one, or pay a bit more if they want a bit of luxury. Nice idea.

ConfessionsOfaMask · 04/10/2011 10:48

Wise words babyheave ... I think if everyone make their own arrangements it will be better.

Isithometime, look at my post, on the top righthand side you will see message poster, click on it et voilà !

As for anonymity, I'm not fussed, I think the chances of meeting someone you loathe know are pretty slim. But, if that helps,what if we created a private Facebook group,just for this meet up and then you can have a idea of who you will meet.

Then again,i have had to name change twice because I'm daft and don't hide my login properly with friends and kids around my NN was outed in RL.

FB even scarier!!! :)

WinterLover · 04/10/2011 10:59

The Facebook group is a good idea Grin also agree with booking own rooms!

ladydeedy · 04/10/2011 11:35

Do we want to think about a potential date? Looking at next March I think Sat 17th (St Patrick's Day) and Sat 31st (first day of school holidays) are probably not contenders. So that leaves us with 3rd, 10th and 24th March.
Any preferences at this stage?
Sorry if I am being a bit premature but I love to plan ahead!!

ConfessionsOfaMask · 04/10/2011 11:57

3rd of March sounds good to me.

theredhen · 04/10/2011 13:19

Would love to come but am a secret poster so would have to lie make up a story to DP and don't really want to do that.

Will you all have a gin or two for me. Grin

babyheavingmassofmaggots · 04/10/2011 13:37

Just a quick in my new nn.

3rd March sound good here too.

ladydeedy · 04/10/2011 16:22

I too am a secret poster. I was thinking I may be able to make a lunch or afternoon session but might come back after that... difficult one...

ConfessionsOfaMask · 04/10/2011 16:38

Well, DH knows and calls it Mums Secret Agent Thingy Grin.

Then again, We met online....who are we to judge !

brdgrl · 04/10/2011 17:57

our OHs will all be thinking we are off meeting secret lovers...

babyheavingmassofmaggots · 04/10/2011 20:47

Last time I told my DH that I was going to meet a Nigerian Diplomat to sort out a million pound transfer of funds.

He said "thats nice dear".

brdgrl · 04/10/2011 20:54

Hello all. Was thinking of reviving this thread.

Who is still up for a SP Meet Up in March ?

ladydeedy · 13/01/2012 12:05

I am! I would prefer 3rd March if at all poss due to work travel after that... but obviously go for the majority interest!

EverybodyKnows · 13/01/2012 12:14

Hi lady.

Yes - that was the date we were all thinking about previously.

So, 3rd of March. Birmingham.

I'll look for hotel deals.
