About time I came to one of these meets. Please put me down. I am very quiet around new people initially as a heads up  
 
I shall attend the meal if it's not too late, but no worries if it is as I can see a lot of people are going and can't be easy organising.

They've seem to done a fair bit of TLC over the closed season which is good! 

nice!! 

Announcing the return of a unanimously panned attraction is a terrible start. I was really hoping a shake up would mean the end of the outdoor mazes.

That's because by the time you've said the new name of the ride in full you forget what words you started the sentence with.

Let's go head to head and prove who's better than.
 


 
 
 
 
 

Badum Tsh.

Hello all! 
 
I’m excited to announce the first meet of 2017, which will be the traditional Guildford Spectrum/Airhop trip. I understand it’s very late notice, and due to this there will be a limited selection of potential dates. The provisional date is set as Saturday 21st January, but as per usual you can vote for another date in the poll.  
 
The plan for the day with rough times is as follows:
 
12:30 - Meet at Airhop by this time for the briefing before the 1 hour session starts at 13:00 14:30 - Have a snack/lunch at Guildford Spectrum (Choices between Wimpy, Freedom Cafe, The View Bar and Strikes Diner) 15:00 - Ice skating session (finishing at 16:30) 17:30 - Bowling session  20:00 - Group meal (restaurant to be voted on!)  
Pricing for the individual events is as follows:
 
Airhop - £12 with non-slip socks and £10 without Ice Skating - £6.10 + £2.10 skate hire (£8.20 total) Bowling - £5.90 for a single session.   
 
To confirm your attendance: 
 
Link to book AirHop for 13:00 is here https://bookings.airhoptrampolinepark.com/JumpBookings/BookSession.aspx
 
Ice Skating tickets go on sale 2 weeks before the date, I will post a reminder on this date but they will need to be booked yourselves here https://spectrumonline.freedom-leisure.co.uk/esro/en-GB/categories/ice skating/2
 
Bowling will be pay on the day, I will be booking lanes.
 
Please send me a PM saying what activities you will be doing
 
 
Regarding the meal in the evening, I will be booking a table for this a week in advance of the date. As this is a very short notice trip, voting for the date and restaurant will be closing on the 1st January 2017. As soon as the dates have been chosen, I will be posting up links to the booking sites for the activities.
 
The Guildford meets previously have all been great days out, and I’m sure this won’t be any different. As always anyone is welcome to these events, no matter wether it's your first or hundredth meet. I will be handing my mobile number out/creating a Facebook chat 1 week in advance of the chosen date for planning. If anyone has any concerns or questions at all regarding the meet, please just drop me a PM and I will be happy to help out with anything  I know Guildford like the back of my hand, so if you need directions for on the day then please let me know!

Cracking banter guys

Hey I never said I was any good

Er a year? No no no - I need my carer for future meets! 
 
 
Really enjoyed the the meet guys - was kind of nervous thinking of the amount of people who would be there but as always the nerves went quick and I had a fab day and great laugh.
 
I missed a lot of meets for a long period of time but it's good to get back into seeing people again - as ever a big thank you goes out to Peaj not only for this meet but his dedication as meet organiser for the past few years - I know for me, if it wasn't for the meets I wouldn't have met such lovely people.  When you are made to feel welcome at meet ups it makes you want to go back and see everyone again and you create great memories which you can look back on.
 
Congrats and all the best to the new meet organisers who I'm sure will do a grand job - Merry Christmas all!
 
 
 
 

The Member Awards are now up, and all winning members have been tagged - congratulations to all!  
 
Thank you for your patience.  Except Mat; clearly all that bag holding has made you an impatient moo...
 
 
Oh, and thanks for all the votes guys!

Clearly dbgt has had an impact on josh's punctuality 

Clearly dbgt has had an impact on josh's punctuality 

The budget for it is $430million btw.

oh my goodness. I was waiting for something like this to finally arrive. Holy ****.

Thank you kindly but I have now found a solution thanks to a few very kind individuals!

I wouldn't say chucking in two kids rides constitutes looking after an area where the main ride of it has been left moulding for a season...

New flat rides! It's been a while.
How is the boat ride going to fit in Old Town though..?

God help us all.

shut up

Bleach

All of you hinting that you want an award.......

Could there be an award for cringiest member? 
Actually, it'd be too difficult to choose so scrap that.
