UK Meet Up

Hey, I was thinking of having a UK meet up. As discussed previously in the chat room we collectively don't wish to meet axe murders however leaving your axe at home is acceptable as long as we meet in a public place and not near the following places:

Ponds
Cement factories
Shredders
Abattoirs
Grave yards
Forests
Residential areas in the middle of no where
Dark basements


On a more serious note, I was thinking London would be a good central place for people to meet up. The following weekends the event could take place on assuming there is enough interest: 26th/27th of July, 2nd/3rd of August, 9th/10th of August and 23rd/24th of August. Just a few ideas open to all suggestions.

Well don't all jump at once, btw I am serious about a meet up. Are there really only two people in the uk who want to meet up? I think the meeting will go ahead even if there is only two people, so the more the merrier. I don’t bite honest.

I would really love to meet and greet but I have walking problems due to arthritis and a husband who needs care - but hope you all have a lovely time.

On second thoughts I might give it a miss. Although this costume does sound interesting, might have to put in an appearance just to see it .

Anymore for anymore? All late comers are welcome, preferably not in costume although that is optional.

P.S. The RSPCA have guaranteed me that Azz is safe and doesn't carry anything too dangerous.
