Posted February 5, 20169 yr comment_227582 Good afternoon all of you wonderful people! Thorpe Park have released their Ministry of Sound dates earlier this year which means I'm very excited to officially announce plans for our Derren Brown's Ministry Of Sound Meet at Thorpe Park! The date of the event is Saturday 23rd July 2016. The reason why I called this one the Derren Brown meet and not the opening one - Is that I've heard in the wind in won't be open by that meet - But I hope that won't be the case. There will be 4 parts to this meet - Thorpe Park during the day and trying out the Derren Brown: Ghost Train Attraction and a picnic afterwards that can be enjoyed by everyone and the clubbing event & Overnight stay to try out the Shark Hotel in the evening which is unfortunately over 18's only! (Or if your me T5 Travelodge ) We will also be extending our hand to the Towers Nerds & Towers Street, in the hope of another great joint meet, by coming down south to join us for the event. This is a fantastic opportunity to socialise with our northern counterparts and to show that the enthusiast community spreads further than one forum. The Outline of the day will be as follows: Meet by the annual pass entrance at 09:30 am by the cash machine just on the off chance the gates could possibly open earlier than advertised such as last year. As soon as the gates open we will go into the park, if by any 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 you or . This first part of the morning we will make the most of the quiet park and churn out those rides. Please bear in mind we will leave without you if you are late as it’s not fair on time keepers! As members have found out! We will then continue visiting the attractions and it will be arranged beforehand that we will try our best to get on all the attractions.. I know not everyone will want to do some of the rides at THORPE PARK. 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 after the group has finished riding the attraction. Please respect other people’s wishes 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 where you can go and eat where you like and we will arrange where to meet after 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. There will be another meeting point at 8 pm on the bridge for those coming to the Ministry of Sound If you can't handle the park during the day 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. There will be many photo’s in the day being taken and the possibility of a few video clips. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the group, 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 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! Just look at the past trips this year! 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. If you are bringing a mate along with you, please also include who they are so they are not known as ‘Plus 1.’ The events with TPM have been fantastic this year and this one will be no different! Attending (3-5) Coasterdude (Maybe) Josh C (During The Day) Matt Creek (Maybe) Peaj Ryan

February 5, 20169 yr Author comment_227627 afraid not! my attendance at meets this year are going to by abysmal If I didn't know what you were doing I would of said your efforts disappoint me (But also noooooo my drinking companion before MOS )
February 5, 20169 yr comment_227630 If I didn't know what you were doing I would of said your efforts disappoint me (But also noooooo my drinking companion before MOS ) I am ready to step up to this role.
February 5, 20169 yr comment_227633 Never been to one so I'd love to go but I will say maybe at this moment in time.
February 5, 20169 yr comment_227634 If I didn't know what you were doing I would of said your efforts disappoint me (But also noooooo my drinking companion before MOS ) I'll have a beer on the other side of the world for you
February 17, 20169 yr comment_228034 Put me as a maybe for this! Won't have an AP though, so it depends as I'll be paying rent for a place that I won't be living in till September xD
February 17, 20169 yr comment_228089 There is a good chance I may be attending this, along with a few of the Nerds. Will confirm closer.
February 21, 20169 yr Author comment_228314 I have got 3 family rooms booked at the T5 Travelodge as booking earlier means we save money nearer the time and I know that with the popularity of this event those rooms will likely get filled So in terms of staying over recovering from the ministry of sound rooms are sorted - if more people need one closer to the time I'll book another or you can sort yourselves out. Either way I don't mind
February 24, 20169 yr comment_228485 I'm in. I've already started drinking for this.... Just don't do what I did on my first time,Drink,drink,drink,drink,drink,drink. Get wasted, just about walk out the club and pass out on the couch.
February 26, 20169 yr Popular Post comment_228559 Can I just say to everyone, if they are going to partake in alcoholic beverages, on this trip, they should a) be old enough and DRINK RESPONSIBLY (I personally interpret this as only holding one pint at a time, otherwise you spill them and it would be irresponsible to waste beer. I will, of course, be confiscating beer from anyone I see holding more than 1)
February 27, 20169 yr comment_228594 Finally old enough! If I'm in the country I should be able to come
February 27, 20169 yr comment_228614 I just hope I actually make it to the bed this time, rather than falling asleep on the toilet Oh, and after last year...can I PLEASE make sure my overnight stuff is in someone's car BEFORE MOS starts! All that palaver I went through with security both at the start and the end of the night could've easily been avoided
February 27, 20169 yr comment_228618 Finally old enough! If I'm in the country I should be able to come Still I wish you luck getting in to MOS
