Long shot I know but maybe a be meet for everyone???????
Hi all, after all the meets lately i was thinking cos we all speak to different people on here from all over and the meets have all been localised. I was thinking maybe their could be wquite a central point for most of us to meet? As I am down south but speak to all lot of you from up north or elsewhere I am rubbish at geography!
I was just thinking that even though would may be a bit of travelling for most of us but meeting everyone would be lovely that maybe we could try and find quite a central place for everyone to try and meet?
As the title says I know its an absolute long shot but thought if i never asked i would never know what everyone else thought about maybe arranging a huge baby expert meet??????

I would love to meet all the lovely ladies I get advice from xx
The obvious here would be london as all train networks go here. It may even be cheaper for some people to fly in who are further afield, particularly if there is an offer on.

I do think London is a good suggestion, because all roads lead to it if you know what I mean.. but of course I'm bias.. and don't want ladies up north to be/feel excluded because they feel it's so far..
if you don't ask, you don't get tho.. so if you need any help.. just let me know! x
i'd have to go with the Birmingham / midlands meet tho, as to get to North London it is still probably 5hrs drive!! i'm not sure about the train, but have to confess, my history with public transport is not too good!!
maybe somewhere in the M1 / M6 vicinity would be an idea?
Way to far to travel for me and I'm not the furthest north, Manchester is about central considering the geographical locations of the members (there is a whole country above birmingham y'know ).... and it would be just as cheap to fly into manchester as it would london.....
in order to get a fair place it might be an idea to ask people who are interested to email you their locations then you can pin them onto a map and choose a place that is in the middle of everyone.... you'd also have to consider the difficulty for people travelling with children, not so much the babies but slightly older ones and toddlers... I know travelling anywhere with Ollie is a major task at the moment so I'd probably have to leave him at home, as I just dont have the energy to bring him with me whilst I have RD and low iron levels. (I struggle to walk the dog more than half an hour these days!)
Sounds like a good idea, but the feasibility might prove difficult....

*venue - going to have to have quite a big capactiy to house us all plus children and possibly other halves
*cost - the venue and any other expenses such as food/accomodation/travel - can people afford this?
*what would the day consist of? would we hire out somewhere, get a buffet? any entertainment ie bouncy castle, DJ...? what sort of event are we thinking?
*date - obviously it'd be hard to please everybody, it's inevitable that somebody will be left out, so what time of year are we thinking?
also, it'd be great for all of us to meet, but we'd really have to make it worth the travelling.... ie plan a really good day with lots to entertain the kids and things to make sure people are getting the most out of the trip.
