AJ Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Good Afternoon all of you wonderful people! I'm very excited to officially announce plans for our next Blackpool TPM Trip . 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 2016. As you can see it's an extended whole weekend! Which gives you a choice - 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 if your under 18 we cannot help you with this! If you were to stay the night - under no circumstances will TPM get involved and take responsibility with how you stay overnight, as for the overnight section of the trip will 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 success's I'm sure this will be no problem. The Outline of the day/s will be as follows: On Saturday, Meet outside 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 enter the park. 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! 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 . 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 attractions. I know not everyone will want to do some of the rides at Blackpool Pleasure. 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 at 8. During the Evening we will relax and watch the Blackpool Illuminations. On the Sunday we will start on the Merlin Attractions meeting outside the Blackpool Tower at 09:45am. We will explore the Tower and during the day go to the Blackpool Madame Tussauds/ Sea Life & Dungeons just like 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 and my dance partner might go off and do some ballroom and latin on that famous floor whilst you socialise over drinks. For those who do go up on the Friday we will most likely go along the piers and arcades and see the nightlife. We will also try out the Waterpark either the Friday or the Sunday. As it's quite a big event the way the weekend is run is subject to change but due to the distance I know you and I will be in regular correspondence so everyone knows what is happening. 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! I will soon be posting up a separate post on possible accommodation locations which you can use to help you decide where to sleep (If your staying for the night.) If however you know where your going already by all means book it up when we confirm the dates this time next week. I know for example I will be staying at a nice B&B near the Tower, right in the centre of it all to enjoy the nightlife. Plus some really good deals on Laterooms.com 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!

OldFarmerDean Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Can't make any of those dates, ah well, enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 First weekend is probably the best one for me at the moment. Not entirely sure what I'm doing September yet but may have something else in the works but will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Please bear in mind we will leave without you if you are late as it’s not fair on time keepers! We're all looking at your Peaj.

I wasn't late, I was just on the dead crisp of time Plus past events if I've been delayed the meet has gone on without me whilst I catch up - Rules apply to me too and in the past IT HAS David B and StevenVig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Can do both dates, however I imagine that the first one would be preferable. I really want to do the water park this year. If we go up on the Friday how much time do you reckon we'll have in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi, When I originally saw this via Tapatalk I only saw one date. I have voted for the 2nd date as I can't make the first date. Put me down as 50/50 as I may choose other meets over this one. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobF Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oh I do love Blackpool :-) will try and get it off work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Mae Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Can technically do either, though seeing as me and Mitchada04 get back from Florida on the morning of the 2nd (although I don't know which one he would prefer) I for one would prefer the second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Neither weekend is great for me, don't even think I know which one I'd prefer I'll just go with the flow as per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I would love to go to this, though I'm not sure it would be possible for me (I'm just so desparate to go back after missing out on so many rides (as no one liked drop towers, classics, water rides in the cold nor classic loopers)) EDIT: At least I managed to get on the Big One back row.

OldFarmerDean Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I get back from California the friday evening.. having had a bit of persuading I am tempted to come, though the waterpark is something I'm dying to do again, so hopefully that's on the sunday, and I may just make the effort to go (even though I'm probably going to want to go into hibernation for the weekend to recover from Cali, but never mind haha)!
