January 16, 201510 yr comment_201068 I must do MOS this year, I failed at coming along last year and felt forever guilty! I wanna Travelodge it up.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_201101 Line up is looking good! If all goes well, I can make at least 3 of these meets. Depending on where I end up from September onwards, how much funding I get (if any), I might be able to make some more later in the year too.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_201103 Sounds like a good outline to me. Hoping to make some of these, with a few maybes. Definitely want to try and get to Alton, MOS and the traditional Christmas meet. Possibly the DLP one too though at the moment, I don't know how likely that would be. Had hoped to make the Chessington one though I don't think I am going to be able to head down south during April.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_201113 Will be at at least one of them. Really enjoyed spooning. Great game! Can't wait to play it again. In general I really enjoyed the meet I went to last year. I can't really fault it Although I do recall a little trouble getting in early, as some people didn't have annual passes, including myself. Any thoughts? See you all in March
January 17, 201510 yr Author comment_201121 Everyone goes in the same time - only trouble was we tried to get you in the AP entrance as there was so many of us and said to them we didn't want split
January 18, 201510 yr comment_201160 Line up looks really good! Should be attending a fair amount this year.Will try my best to get to the Thorpe open meet and Adventure Island. Will definitely be attending towers providing it doesn't clash with exams. And should be able to make the last 3 meets of the year. Looks like it's going to be a great year meet wise!
December 23, 20159 yr comment_225145 With the 2015 meets now over and 2016 ones round the corner, I think it's time I submit my request for 2016 meets. Jan/ Guildford (confirmed (though probe won't make that one) March/ Thorpe Open (confirmed) April Chessie May Europa Park June Paultons Park July Towers August Thorpe MOS September Blackpool (Phantasia) October Thorpe Fright Night December London Xmas Meet List request based on events of past years, keeping in regard which ones have been popular too. Would like to see future meets to Flamingo/Lightwater and places like Phantasialand, Port AV etc. But it's a steady progress etc.
December 23, 20159 yr Author comment_225147 Well that's not really a request you just posted what I said we are doing at the meets They're all confirmed but the meets in between May & August might be in a different order depending on what people vote to do come February Your last sentence about what you would like to see in future progress bar phantasialand you will see in 2017 However as people may see from Matt's post there are 2 openings in February/ November in 2016 so if you are interested in stepping up to the mark and think your good enough to host a meet for TPM please feel free to contact me with your ideas and what you'll do and it may happen
January 19, 20169 yr Author comment_226649 See this is something that has been brought up in the past - however we don't think there is enough demand to make it. Of course I can be proved wrong and I know there are some members who have wanted some but don't know if there is enough to warrant it....
January 19, 20169 yr comment_226662 Didn't we trial out name badges before? That didn't really last long I don't think.
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226724 Go Ape in November Just a comment re: Go Ape. Even though I do love Go Ape, it's often too cold to do in November. If you want something to do in cold wet weather then may I suggest Go Below rather than Go Ape (Think Go Ape but in a cave in Wales). http://www.go-below.co.uk/
January 20, 20169 yr Author comment_226755 May I introduce to you Celia Mae onto the meet organising team Meets have been growing and it's getting to the point I need help and Emily has shown great interest in how they are run. She's organised and from a military background I'm sure she'll keep us in check at meets! As people know from the meets Going forward they'll be gaps in my meet planning to allow others to fill those slots and see how they work out to ensure the meets future. Plus new ideas keep things fresh. I'll still be on the lookout for other people who are interested in organising meets going forward as that type of help in the future will be more needed down the line So I hope everyone is wishing for the best like me in Celia Mae's new role at the meets.
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226765 A surprising but wonderful announcement there. Very happy to see Celia joining the team and I look forward to seeing her exciting contributions to meets in the near future. Speaking on meets, all of them have been fantastic in their own unique ways developing from strength to strength and getting better each year seeing the memories, running and attendance numbers increase upon each year. Taking these in to account (especially the latter), the need to grow the meet org. team is definitely a crucial one, especially as receiving attendances up to 40 sometimes. If anyone needs an extra hand at meets, I'm willing to help out where necessary. Whether that be things like navigating split groups (if the group splits) or simply minor things too. 2015 was a great year for meets, let's make 2016 an even greater one!
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226769 Matt can you be official cameraman please. I want some high quality meet vlogs!
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226778 Matt can you be official cameraman please. I want some high quality meet vlogs! I'm your camera man!
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226779 I'm your camera man! I'll bring a go pro and we can make some magic.
January 22, 20169 yr comment_226875 I am Quite new to TPM but will hopefully get to some meets this season as I now have a MAP and I can drive. Do we ever get ERT? looking forward to meeting some of you guys!
January 22, 20169 yr Author comment_226877 We used to get ERT events here at TPM but as time has moved on and with Thorpe Park taking on a different business model, these events are now paid for. These cans till be arranged but there are no current plans for any ERT's this year. This however does not mean it won't happen!Will be good to see you at a meet, we love a new face and people seem to blend in quite quickly with the great group of people we have at meets these days
January 24, 20169 yr Author comment_226998 As a couple of people have come to me suggesting other ways how the meets are organised - to ensure the planning of it stays fresh with current needs I have set up a poll for you to vote in. Any comments for it please reply to this topic
