The last one was extremely popular so even more excited! The date of the event is the extended weekend of Friday 2nd - Sunday 4th September 20 16. As you can see it's an extended whole weekend! Which gives you a choic e - come on the Friday\, or the Saturday\, or on the Sunday or a couple of the days or stay the whole weekend! I would imagine though the bulk of us will do Sat/Sun. Please take note if you plan to stay with us overnight\, it will be your responsibility to book your own rooms and unfortunately i f your under 18 we cannot help you with this! If you were to stay the nigh t - under no circumstances will TPM get involved and take responsibility with how you stay overnight\, as for the overnight section of the trip w ill be an over 18's event. Plus this event will rely on you wonderful kind drivers or which your help will be much appreciated. But based on past su ccess's I'm sure this will be no problem. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n The Outline of the days will be as follows: \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n On Saturday\, Meet o utside the entrance by Pasaje Del Terror at 08:30 am opposite the ticket gates to have a small social before the park opens\, and then we will ent er the park. Please bear in mind we will leave without you if you are lat e as it’s not fair on time keepers! As members have found out! If by an y chance you happen to miss this meet point due to travel arrangements or just plain lateness you can either phone or text so we can arrange to meet  . This first part of the morning we will make the most of the quiet park and churn out those rides. We will try our best to get on all the attract ions. I know not everyone will want to do some of the rides at Blackpool P leasure Beach. If you decide to not come on please be polite and wait for everyone to come off and chat to other members whilst you are waiting. Or go off and do another attraction as long as you’ll be back before the gr oup has finished riding the attraction. Please respect other people’s wi shes who wish to ride certain things that you yourself may not be too keen with. During the day\, around half 1\, we will stop for a bite to eat wh ere you can go and eat where you like and we will arrange where to meet af ter everyone has finished eating. (Who knows we might all want to eat the same thing anyway ) After lunch we will group together for the Official Group Photo for the meet and continue going round the park and riding the attractions people want to do until the park closes at 8.  During the Ev ening we will relax and watch the Blackpool Illuminations.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\ n\n On the Sunday we will start on the Merlin Attractions meeting outsid e the Blackpool Tower at 09:45am. We will explore the Tower and during t he day go to the Blackpool Madame Tussauds/Sea Life &\; Dungeons just l ike our London Meets. During the afternoon we will have a little breather in the Blackpool Ballroom for a couple of drinks and if you are lucky me a nd my dance partner might go off and do some ballroom and latin on that fa mous floor whilst you socialise over drinks.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n For those who do go up on the Friday evening we will most likely go along the piers and arcades and see the nightlife. We will also possibly try out the Water park either the Friday or the Sunday. As it's quite a big event the way th e weekend is run is subject to change but due to the distance I know you a nd I will be in regular correspondence so everyone knows what is happening .\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n I will be handing out my phone number for everyone wh o is attending the meet that day\, should there be any problems. We aim to stay together as a group for the day\, going from one activity to the nex t\, enjoying getting to know people you share very similar interests with\ , the idea is to just go with the flow and enjoy the day with some awesome people. There will be many photos in the day being taken and the possibil ity of a few video clips. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the grou p\, it is the general purpose of these meets! You will have my number (and some of the senior teams) if you become split so by all means use it. The meets are a fantastic laugh and everyone is invited\, even if you have ne ver posted before or been to any kind of meet at all. If it's your first m eet\, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there at one point so know how it feels\, please don't let this stop you from attendin g - once there you'll be part of the group in no time! Just look at the pa st trips this year!\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n I will soon be putting up a separat e post in the meet thread on possible accommodation locations which you ca n use to help you decide where to sleep (If you're staying for the night). If however you know where your going already by all means book it up! I know for example I will be staying at a nice B&\;B near the Tower\, rig ht in the centre of it all to enjoy the nightlife. Plus there are some rea lly good deals on Laterooms.com   \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Once again\, every one will have my phone number so please use it on the day  If anyone has any issues or concerns or even nervous about coming\, feel free to post i n the meet topic\, or PM myself and I will get back to you as soon as poss ible. If you feel like my response is taking too long another member of th e team will be more than happy to help. We will all try and help you out a s much as we can.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Hope to see you there!\n\n\n\n Peaj\n \n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160902 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160905 ATTENDEE;CN="Celia Mae";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED: contact@maniahub.com ATTENDEE;CN="KingNemesis";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTE D:contact@maniahub.com ATTENDEE;CN="Matt 236";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:c ontact@maniahub.com ATTENDEE;CN="AJ ";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:contac t@maniahub.com ATTENDEE;CN="Doc";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:contac t@maniahub.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
