People are talking about going to centreparcs.. can we meet up in a centreparc for one day? I was thinking more like an evening out at Josephines..? Oh blow it, you can all come to my place in Chessington!.... but it's a one bedroom flat.. ummmmmm..

But can you go Horse riding in your flat?

I think your right.

Lesssons i have learned on any meet up with people who dont know all the others is

Make sure food is involved,also if it is let there be a good selection and the option to opt out.Do make sure anyone with special requirments has let the staff know in advance or check veg options etc are avaiable. For example we used to always use places like TGI Fridays where if people just want a drink they can and others can eat.

Make it easy for people to come and go though out the event.

Make sure people with different size pockets will feel comfortable.

Make sure you have someone in charge dont make it a collective thing. It will take ages to make little decisions etc.

Also at the moment make sure no huge deposts are required many people with the current situation do not know when suddenly they cant afford to come to events such as this.

Nigel,
An evening out would be fine for those living local to each other, good idea.

Most members here are spread out around the UK and therefore an overnight stay is necessary, thats why I suggested somewhere like centerparcs as hotel rooms and a venue for a get together will be difficult to find so close to Christmas.
