LATEST ON THE BIG MEET
moning everybody.
So far birmingham is seeming the best place for the meet based on your votes.
A few have mentioned having more than one meet-up, personally, i don't like that idea (just my oppinion) but here is why,
it defeats the whole object of one big meet. There are already local meets going on, if it is going to be too dofficult to organise fairly perhaps we should just leave it to local meets?
Having more than one would make each meet smaller scale, which isn't what i had in mind when organising it. I had been planning to approach prima baby, childrens charitys, also baby product companys to get involved both for funding, and to "give something back" ie to charity. I don't think we'd have half the chance of getting such people involved if theres more than one meet.
Having more than one would actually create more costs if they were all to be similar events. Just for example, i'd thought it'd be great to hire a bouncy castle for older children - having 2/3 meets means 2/3 bouncy castles...... not to mention any other "entertainment" we'd be putting on.
obviously this meet is for you girls, it isn't upto me, so i shall leave it with you to decide what you'd prefer.... is it to be birmingham or not?
(hope this hasn't sounded arsey!) love you all XX

I agree about one big meet, having lots of little ones defeats the object - obviously not everyone is going to be able to go, but it's worth trying, then those that can't attend can also go to smaller local ones as well x
Just replied on the one from yesterday but Birmingham sounds good to us. I agree that the whole point is for ALL of us to get together and have fun. Think it's worth the al the effort everyone's putting in x
i really do understand some will struggle to get there which is why i'm guna put every ounce of effort into making it fantastic and worth your while travelling!
you are doing a great job linzi, you must be living breathing sleeping 'big meet' at the moment!!!
this info is all a bit useless as they dont have a website. lol!!!
Lisajo thanks for the tip off i shall investigate it further!
gemzy cheers for the offer, will deffo be dishing out some jobs for you guys to get involved at some point when we get down to finer details XX
I think you should go with Birmingham. It is really hard to accommodate everyone but as Poz says there could always be another one next year in a different location.
Birmingham is much easier for me by car rather than train as would have to go into London, across town and then out again by train! With that in mind we will probably need a location with good parking as well as access to train stations etc.
All the best,
