Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Ah okay. Well, thanks very much for the offer, but by the time I can get there, you'll already be in Newcastle.
More and more of my plans are getting finalised. This allows me to tentatively say:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Well, seeing as I live in Newcastle I'll be joining you guys on the saturday... being pretty much a full time lurker it'd feel intrusive to show up earlier!

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Just to let you guys know for definite, my holiday dates at work have not gone through, so I won't be able to make the meetup
Unfortunately, that's the way things go when through a combination of holiday and illness/injury staffing levels drop to about 50%
Hope all you guys have fun, and maybe I can make the winter meet :smalldesperatelyhoping:(yes, I know that isn't a smilie, but I really wish it was right now)Part of YugiohITPAvatar by Smuchmuch

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
That's a shame, but sometimes these things really just can't be helped. And you're a really fun person, so everyone at the meet misses out too.
Don't worry, many people do :customsmilies: because they can. I probably abuse them to be honest.
Speaking of things.
I may now not be able to go. Things are seriously up in the air now for my entire week to ten days of travelling up and down the country.
For the first time in a few years, I'm only a Maybe now.
Additionally, I won't know until a few days before the date anyway, but I still have presents that I want to get to Newcastle for certain people (Serpy and Thu), so well, if by Wednesday you've not heard anything from me, could you PM me an address to send your present to?
Also, please to not be opening until Saturday? And maybe pictures so I can still see their reaction?
Sorry guys. :smalldisconsolate:

Trains booked, was there any floorspace still avaliable? I'll be bringing Dominion and possibly some Magic decks with me.

Well my line of the table seems to be getting left out of the latest replies so I guess I'll just... slot it back in.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Oo, stuff happened while I was away.
No-one's staying in my flat yet. Okay.
Slight change of plans: in addition to working 9-5 Thursday, Friday and Monday, I will be travelling down to Birmingham Monday night. So my flat is unavailable then. Soz.There are bad times just around the corner,

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Since many people have completed that table, and I'm the only one so far arriving Saturday PM, I bit the bullet and booked a train. I will arrive in Newcastle Station on Saturday the 7th at 1839, and will leave Newcastle at 1217 on Tuesday the 10th. Near enough AM for me to leave the table intact.
edit:
Oh, and Dvil, good spot on that. Totally my fault - my keyboard's been playing up, randomly pressing numbers and moving the mouse about and clicking. Pressing delete or backspace when this happens means things can disappear that I don't even realise have gone.
I think my laptop is not long for this world, the battery stopped taking or holding charge a couple of days ago.Last edited by --Lime--; 2012-06-25 at 05:35 PM.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Actually, looking at that, I notice Fred and Grlump haven't filled in the table yet.
What I really meant was, am I still okay to stay Monday night? I know you said "anyone else" but I thought it best to double checkIt is what it is unless it is what it isn't. Or isn't what it is. But if it isn't what it isn't then it is what it is.

Yes, you're fine. I just won't grab anyone else who's staying that late, and we might go hang out at Thufir's or somewhere on Monday or somesuch.
Also you should get on MSN or something :CLast edited by Serpentine; 2012-06-26 at 07:21 PM.

Hence the qualifier "like". If Archie and the other southern reprobates like Lixie, Nameless and Helio came (*pokes with a hinting stick*) then it would be the Playground's Greatest Hits.
Also, if you don't come, Koorly, I will be a Sad Panda.
EDIT: This also extends to Factotum, Fred, Spare Fred and all the other groovy folks that have come to previous UK meets.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
when i first saw Succ's post I was going to comment, then I decided that I didn't really need the ego boost of being one of the "greatest hits", i'd much rather be the one on the album that everyone loves but was never released as a single... Think Headlong more than Innunendo... though they both made it into Greatest Hits II so bad example...

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Who?
I assume "pregen chas" = "pregenerate characters", relevant for RPG sessions, of which so far we have none definitely planned. If someone quickly puts something together (I might do so myself), then I'm sure they'll figure something out.
Also, on the subject of additional people coming, could you invite your brother/my ex-housemate?
@People who might want hotel-type accommodation: Going to look at that pretty much right now. Generally, as far as I'm aware, Premier Inn type places are dotted around the area, but certainly some are near the town centre; while B&Bs are more common out towards the coast, which is further from the main meetup venue, but closer to my house, which might well end up being used for some post-meetup stuff? Anyway, watch this space.
@People wanting floorspace or similar: Anyone who's just coming for the main meetup, you should be fine whatever. Things might get a little crowded, but we're fine to take as many people in here as will fit, and I imagine Qwaz/Serp likewise. People staying longer, obviously we're operating based on the goodwill of my parents if you're staying here, and other people have limitations as already stated, but I'm going to take a look through the stated arrival times and such now-ish as well, to try and figure all that out.
@Anyone staying for post-meetup things: In the absence of any objections, I'm going to assume we're OK with the idea of Sunday's main planned activity being kind of a picnic-type thing and possible outdoor games (Frisbee anyone?). Any preferences for whether we go to a park or the beach?"'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
OK, so hotel-type accommodation:
Search results for Premier Inn Newcastle. The top result, Newcastle Central, is the one I mentioned which is only 10-15 minutes walk from the venue, but apparently it has no rooms available for the meetup dates? The one on the Quayside is still reasonably close, and others would certainly still be alright if you're driving.
It looks like the city centre is pretty well supplied with Holiday Inns. Though, something weird is going on with that, I searched briefly for the rates over meetup dates and it seemed to give me cheaper for staying two nights than just one? Something's up there or I was reading it wrong somehow.
Travelodge search. Again, the Newcastle Central one is definitely close, but the others, while I don't know exactly where they are, should still be in reach if driving, and it looks like they're cheaper, so could be worth it?
On B&Bs, just searching "Bed and breakfast Newcastle" came up with a bunch of results, not sure how good any of them are. If willing to go a bit further, I know there are some nice ones in Whitley Bay (Where I live), and indeed there's actually a specific website : http://www.whitleybaybedandbreakfast.co.uk/
Probably some in the other towns on the coast, but I can't be bothered to search for all of them.
I don't know how helpful that's been for anyone, since all I did was some fairly basic searching, but maybe that'll make it at least a little bit easier?"'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Thufir, a question: is it easy to find a parking spot near the meeting place in Newcastle? That could influence the choice of hotels/B&B: if it's easy, we could book something a little more distant.
Also, how are you people traveling from Whitley Bay to Newcastle?
