AJ Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Good morning all of you wonderful people! I'm very excited to officially announce plans for our Guildford Meet 2014! As usual you have the power to vote and change the date of the meeting but for the moment the provisional date is on Saturday 25th January 2014. Here is a link so you know how to get there http://www.guildfordspectrum.co.uk/content/view/14/31/ The Outline of the day will be as follows: Meet by the stairs outside the Guildford Spectrum between 11:30am and 12pm as shown in a cheeky helpful picture below (in case you don’t know the area). This then gives us time to go into the Spectrum and get are skates and lockers ready to hit the Ice as soon as the session starts at 12:30. Price’s are yet to be confirmed for 2014 but at the moment they are approximately £5.90 for the session and £1.90 for the Skate Hire (10p more than last year ). During the skating session those who do not want to skate can be a spectator to all the comedy you’ve been framed moments of us falling over (and maybe get the cheeky video clip ). The session will finish at 2pm where those who have not come to Skate and only want to show up for the meal and bowling can meet us within the Ice Skating arena. From here this is where times become approximate. We will then go to eat within the spectrum which currently offers a Wimpy (Burgers), Trattoria (Pizza), The View (Like the 360 Bar), Costa Coffee (Coffee )& The Strikes Bar (Drinks), so this should cater for everyone’s different tastes. After we have eaten and before those skaters leave who do not want to bowl we have The Return Of The Group Photo so you can all have a picture to remember your day. Then we will get to play 2 games of bowling which is priced at £5.50 each which should provide a good amusing end to the day. The event will approximately finish around 6pm if you want a rough estimate and after which you will be free to do whatever you please . I will be handing out my phone number for everyone who 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 next, 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. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the group, it is the general purpose of these meets! You will have my number if you become split so by all means use it. The meets are a fantastic laugh and everyone is invited, even if you’ve never posted before or been to any kind of meet at all. If it's your first meet, 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 attending - Once there you'll be part of the group in no time! Once again, everyone 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 here, or PM myself and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you feel like my response is taking too long another member of the team will be more than happy to help. We will all try and help you out as much as we can. Please PM me or post here to say if you’re attending (and which parts your attending). I’ll update the lists where appropriate! Meeting place is around these stairs outside the spectrum.

Matt 236 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Currently a maybe for this trip at the moment. I've voted the first and last choice however both are uncertain as I have a lot of deadlines around the 4th and could have family birthday celebrations on the 25th.

MattyMoo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Out of interest is anyone likely to stay in Guildford after 6pm for a drink or two? pluk and Sawyer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Out of interest is anyone likely to stay in Guildford after 6pm for a drink or two? Yeah some people do meet up for a drink or so after the meet but nothing official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 High five on the Magners Honestly, after that night, I've been less keen on vodka! And Marc has just said what I was about to point out, plus it's possible that people will go for a meal afterwards just like at previous meets this year We went to Frankie & Bennys afterwards at this year's Guildford meet, twas good times! #Cardmachine MattyMoo, Sidders and AJ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Out of interest is anyone likely to stay in Guildford after 6pm for a drink or two? A two and a half hour train journey awaits me in either direction, so I might just drive. If not though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sadly cannot make this as I will be back at university Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchy Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Sorry guys. the likelihood is I wont be able to make this. Hope you all have a fun meet, and Happy New Year. (lol I just checked the train prices, thinking maybe I could work on the train there and back and fit this in. £21 to Guildford from Stoke - that is fine. £171 back from Guildford. Madness!)
