POLL!!! British Meetup Location

[PinkSpider]

I voted Manchester. But Stoke comes second.

I dont mind London though.

 

[Josquius]

I still say Newcaslte would be good or maybe even Leeds (its bang on in the middle of the country)

i went last year to bath meetup (15 miles from where i live) a great time it was with the bomberman tournament with prizes supplied by liksang.com and our favourite GBAX.com in the form of 1 gp32 in black shell, some black shells, a carry case & future of video games dvd's there were also exclusive betas distributed at the meet such as Black's GPengine v0.5 Multi player RF Edition which still hasn't been publicly released and Zardozjones' Genemu plus fMAME made an appearance so this years should be even better with (hopefully more ppl)more betas and tournaments

 

[Axeman]

i guess i will vote for stoke as well since lurch has offered a tent for use

btw anyone in the wiltshire/bath area need a lift i will happily share (company vancar)

also i thought bombay was renamed mombai?

I think Lurch's use of canvas-based bribes is damaging democracy

We'll have to see whether we can get prizes again. It's totally up to the companies that are generous enough to donate things (gbax.com and Lik-sang last year). Hopefully, companies will be helpful this year too.

It was obvious that London would win, as the other towns are taking votes from each other.

As I said, it should have been:-

South of Birmingham,
The midlands,
or
The north.

or something similar.......

 

[Axeman]

Thing is, I think we can safely say that most people willing to travel to one midlands town would travel to another, so it's not really that important. Getting people's ideas is the point - the poll data can be interpreted how you want.

whats wrong with sheffield ??

Is London settled then cos this topic has been going on for a fair amount of time. But nice to let everyone have their say.
Also where in London I wonder?

 

[Tobriand]

It'll probably take a few more votes to settle it, I think. Bearing in mind the number of people on the board these days, I'm surprised it hasn't got to higher numbers faster, though...

Come on, other people who'd want to come along, vote!
Just thought of something, btw: London's got Eurostar going to it - anyone from France want to join us?

 

[The Mole]

Yeah Newcastle gets my vote

 

[Josquius]

Don't just take into account which city has the most votes. If there is 2 cities about the same area with 6 votes each then one city in another area with 10 votes it should be in one of the two with the 6 or somewhere about that area.

 

[kknd_cf]

man this is gonna be fun.

 

[thebluenewt]

Yeah Newcastle gets my vote

Ditto, most of these places are bleedin' miles away!

 

[Axeman]

To be honest, I still think that the Midlands is a better bet than London. Yes, it'll mean that people from the south need to travel further (including me!), but it'll also give those from up North a better chance of making it.

We'll see...

 

[Dante]

don't make it in london thats too far south birmingham or stoke will be great for everyone

 

[Squidge]

yup, london is too far for me, birmingham or stoke is fine though.

 

[declaration]

London was obviously gonna win the vote, but that doesnt mean that more people can make it if its in London.

It just means its easier for southerners and much harder for northeners etc...

 

[Deep Thought]

Oh pah, stop whining you UK'ers. If we tried to have a U.S gathering i'd end up having to fly for 10 hours just to get there. Since chances are it would be on the East coast or West coast, and I live smack dab in the middle of the country.

Ya, but the difference being America actually has a transport system that works.
