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!

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.

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

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?!

RomanMum · 07/04/2025 00:20

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

Cherrypi · 07/04/2025 07:38

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

SheilaFentiman · 07/04/2025 12:56

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

MegBusset · 07/04/2025 14:44

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

SheilaFentiman · 07/04/2025 15:24

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

CrepuscularCritter · 07/04/2025 15:51

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

Terpsichore · 08/04/2025 18:48

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.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/04/2025 19:04

I haven’t seen an email but did vote for a couple of possibilities,

Stowickthevast · 11/04/2025 03:19

Thanks @AgualusasLover . My email had gone into spam.

I have voted yes for a couple and there's a couple I definitely can't do. July and August are generally a bit tricky but will fit in if I can.

AgualusasLover · 15/04/2025 21:57

London meet up friends, I have not forgotten - I hope to come up with a proper date and very very basic plan before EOW

LeylaOfCircassia · 22/04/2025 14:09

Finally, I come with dates.

SAVE THE DATE - SATURDAY 19 JULY, 2025 in London

The winner with 16 votes is Saturday 19 July

  • @cassandre
  • @Terpsichore
  • @CrepuscularCritter
  • @MegBusset
  • @StrangewaysHereWeCome
  • @Cherrypi
  • @TimeforaGandT
  • @Boiledeggandtoast
  • @FuzzyCaoraDhubh
  • Others used real names so won't post here.

Other options were:
Saturday 12 July, 15 yes/1 tent
Saturday 16 July, 14 yes
Sunday 20 July, 13 yes/1 tent
Saturday 16 August, 13 yes, 1 tent

Since there was some difficulty with email etc, I will send everyone in my DMs a little form and then I can collect them without MN messing up and make sure I have everything accurate.

Any tentatives also welcome.

TimeforaGandT · 22/04/2025 14:55

Thank you @AgualusasLover @LeylaOfCircassia - looking forward to it!

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 22/04/2025 15:03

Thank you Agua. I hope to make it :)

LeylaOfCircassia · 22/04/2025 15:04

So form below is anonymous and will come to me only. I have disabled collecting emails so it should not ask you to log in. I do, however, need you to put your email in the relevant question section. If you want to include your real name alongside Username that is up to you but not mandatory.

I have asked you all a question as part of verification. :-)

All good 👍

Boiledeggandtoast · 22/04/2025 15:27

Thank you @LeylaOfCircassia , that is quite some feat of organisation.

And now I have ruined it for myself, and it is entirely my own fault. I'm so sorry but yesterday evening I signed up to my WI annual vineyard trip which is also on 19 July and I forgot to amend my Meetup availability. I can't believe that this is the second year that I have messed up (last year it was the first day of a quilting course). My sincere apologies, especially to LeylaOfCircassia. I hope you all have a wonderful day and dare I say that I would love to come if you ever do it again.

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 22/04/2025 17:23

Oh no - I am now double-booked for that date unfortunately. I was looking forward to this after last year's Northern meet up. If there's another meet up arranged for the folk who either can't travel to London or can't make this date I will do my very best to prioritise that.

LeylaOfCircassia · 22/04/2025 18:00

@MamaNewtNewt is there a northern date in mind? I think I didnt sign up, but am keen to do both

SheilaFentiman · 22/04/2025 18:01

Thank you, unfortunately I can’t make that (local commitment) but if that gets cancelled I will try and come!

MegBusset · 22/04/2025 19:31

Thanks @AgualusasLover ! I have responded and looking forward to it:)

AgualusasLover · 22/04/2025 19:42

Enjoying all the answers to my security question.

BlueFairyBugsBooks · 22/04/2025 19:46

Is @AgualusasLover and @LeylaOfCircassia The same person? I'm a bit confused
