Had an idea (yeah yeah hold the jokes), who would be interested in having a CF meetup. Say booking a venue staying over night and having a good old knee up?

It would be good to know where everyone is in the county so if you havent already drop your location on the guestmaps

So what do you think?

Great Idea, you seem to be placed neatly right in the middle of all of us!
Jamin.

 

Seems like a superb idea.Would be great to meet people face to face,and of course the perfect excuse for a few

 

I think it would be a great idea too!

 

Yeh like it!!!!

 

I was toying with an idea like this sometime earlier this year, called Certforums Live!
a mixture of somewhat live advice sessions/cert discussion during the day, followed by a bbq/beers in the evening, however i never got too far with it

Originally i was going for either somewhere central to the country, so that its in the middle for everyone
or london due to its transit links from all corners (flights from scotland, trains from wherever) due the the drinking I wasnt sure how many people would be driving ;)

What are your guys thoughts on that? would you just want a booze up / get together social event? or try and tie it in with some kind of cert related event? summer is approaching so the long cool evenings sound like a perfect time for such an event

good to see such positive response, great idea Si!

 

Think thats a great idea there phoenix,like the idea of a cert related event followed up by a social gavering.
With the long summer nights just around the corner its the perfect time of year too.
As for the location of the event im swaying towards a central to the country one.

 

Yeah a conference to Social type event...Great idea Phoenix especially with the clout that this site posses in the Cert World!

I'm 100% on board with this! An event for like minded people! Cool!!

 

Nice idea.
Who's cooking?
We could all chip in to buy Mitzs a ticket.
And her Mom...

 

As a notion, I could probably get access to my old schools tech lab for presentations and stuff, as well as access to the carpark and field perhaps for the bbq, ofcoruse that would be if it was held in london, if its held up north im sure someone else can arrange similar facilities? perhaps? hehe

 

AJ - your school ?

 

no bar required
as long as the school have no probs with alcahol on site (i know the one down here doesnt)
a few crates of ice, and some cases of drink to throw in them, coupled with a few barbies! good stuff!
hehe

 

I'm still somewhat of a noobie when it comes to CertForums, but I must say that I like the atmosphere here, it seems genuinley friendly and helpful. It's a breath of fresh air compared to allot of other forums.

Anyway, I like the idea of meeting up and chinnwagging with people about certs and technology etc.. then having a BBQ and beer etc... Wether or not it gets off the ground, or if I'll be able to make it is quite another thing, but sounds like a good idea none the less.

 

Hey - can we invite all the scammers, spammers and @ssh0les that waste so much of our time here as well ? Could have a "special arena" for them in one corner ?

 

better yet
my old school has a swimming pool
we can hold it on world pirate day and make them 'walk the plank'

with mob style 'diving' boots ofcourse

 

Sounds like a great idea, ill be up for it if its on a weekend or if I can get time off work if its a weekday

 

*ahem* I like that you all are for buying mitzs ticket to this bash but not yours truly.





Ok, I'm not really hurt. If you all manage to pull this off, post plenty of pictures for those of us that won't be able to attend.
