Blackpool Meetup: Summer 2016
-
From a few conversations I've had with people, it's sounding as if the end of July is the optimal time for most people. Any particular objections to that kind of time frame?
-
I should say...
End of July or the first weekend in August.
-
Vote for the end of July here, if possible. I'm giving my sister away on Monday 8th August (at her wedding, not to smugglers), so I'd be probably be expected to get back to the North East by Saturday night. The dubious perils of being a brother and oft-time grown-up.
-
End of July good here too!
Give your sister away huh, I couldn't even pay Gavin to take mine! I didn't lose a sister but gained a fantastic brother-in-law and now have a niece and nephew as spoils of war. Someone should have told him there in no turning back...
-
End of July is good with me.
Thank you and no looking back now..
-
One thing that occurs to me is that the final weekend in July is a bank holiday weekend. It therefore might not be a good idea to go that weekend because transport will be more busier and expensive, hotels will be rarer (and more expensive), and pleasure beach itself will be much busier.
As a possible alternative, would the weekend of 2 July suit people?
-
Are you sure? The next official Bank Hol after the end of May is the end of August.[https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays]
Is this a secret one?
-
Ah, 'tis Scotland only.
-
Weekend of July 2 no good for me sorry.
-
Anyone else care to weigh in here? Maybe mention your availability or something?
I will go with the date that supports the most people.
-
What sort of timescale are we looking at, for that?
-
I can do start of July so it should be OK for me. I'll let you know otherwise if anything crops up nearer the time. Thank you.

Nobody seems to have mentioned August yet, except Forester who's said he's mostly free then.
Would mid-August work for people?
Or alternatively, mid July?
-
Mid July sounds good here but may well be ok for mid August too.
-
I won't be able to do mid July but mid August could be ok..
I was happy with the original early July option, but with people not be available around those dates, I suppose it should be ok as long the dates don't keep changing again. Not around in September as I'm on holiday then.
I await further news on this subject, anyhows...

Back to square one, again!
