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 won’t be able to make the northern meet but hope you all have a fabulous time!

Hello hello - nothing to report right now, but just wanted to remind anyone who does not have it in their diary that London will be 19 July.

MamaNewtNewt · 17/06/2025 08:28

I’m really sorry I haven’t sent details of the northern meet up yet. We’ve had some bad news about the health of a family member who is now receiving hospice care. I’ll try to send out this weekend.

Sorry to hear that @MamaNewtNewt and of course you should prioritise the family stuff - don't feel under any pressure about the meet-up. Do you need some help with it?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 17/06/2025 11:26

Please don’t trouble yourself @MamaNewtNewt thinking of you! Flowers

Thinlyveiled · 17/06/2025 11:30

I would be interested. Newcastle or Edinburgh ?

MegBusset · 17/06/2025 12:26

Sorry to hear that @MamaNewtNewt 💐

Thinking of you MamaNewtNewt 💐

JaninaDuszejko · 17/06/2025 21:35

Sorry to hear that MamaNewtNewt, don't worry about the meetup, your family is more important.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 22/06/2025 16:49

Today I booked my flight for London. Yay!

Sorry to hear this.

I don't think I can make the London meet up this time, but will try to get to a future Manchester or London one.

AgualusasLover · 22/06/2025 18:00

Sorry to hear your news @MamaNewtNewt

looking forward to seeing you again @FuzzyCaoraDhubh will send some more firm comms beginning of the month.

TimeforaGandT · 24/06/2025 08:44

Likewise.

Sending best wishes for a difficult time @MamaNewtNewt.

Looking forward to seeing you again @FuzzyCaoraDhubh.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 24/06/2025 09:43

Likewise @TimeforaGandT and @AgualusasLover :))

@MamaNewtNewt Another 50 Booker here wishing you much sympathy. I'm so sorry.

By the way, I asked you to send me the availability form and I've received it, but my timetable is a bit all over the place this summer, and I'm woefully ignorant of Northern cities. (I loved visiting Manchester last year though!) So I think it's best if I don't fill out the form; I'll just wait and see what city and date work best for other people, and will do my best to come wherever/whenever everyone else decides on. Thank you 💐

cassandre · 25/06/2025 17:04

@FuzzyCaoraDhubh I'm chuffed that you're coming to London! Woo-hoo!

BlueFairyBugsBooks · 02/07/2025 01:26

Just realised I didn't put this diary and then double booked myself. I managed to win tickets to see The Jacksons, Sister Sledge and Boney M. So I'll be doing that instead. Awfully sorry. Although I'm sure you'll all breathe a sigh of relief that I'm not coming Grin

bibliomania · 02/07/2025 08:50

That sounds like a fun event, @BlueFairyBugsBooks !

AgualusasLover · 03/07/2025 14:52

I think you can be forgiven @BlueFairyBugsBooks .

Everyone else, you should have an email from me. If you haven’t just shout loudly and I will double check all the details.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 03/07/2025 15:42

Do you mean a new email, Agua?

SheilaFentiman · 03/07/2025 16:08

I haven’t had a new email for London yet, Agua

cassandre · 03/07/2025 16:09

I've had the email, many thanks!

TimeforaGandT · 03/07/2025 17:25

I have had the email, thank you. All sounds great.

Terpsichore · 03/07/2025 18:07

I’ve had it too, thanks! Sounds excellent.
