Spring 2013 UK meet poll

seun · Sep 18, 2012

Place your votes for where we meet up and stroke our beards. Because we're writers. Yeah.

Voting closes at 8pm next Tuesday.

ETA: Voting has finished. London wins.

Priene · Sep 18, 2012

Your 'first past the post' poll is unfair and biassed against minorities and typical of the antagonistic nature of UK politics. I vote we vote on whether to have a vote on whether to change the voting system.

seun · Sep 18, 2012

Commie.

Terie · Sep 18, 2012

Is it possible to change the radio buttons to checkboxes, since some of us are all right with multiple choices?

I have literally no idea how to do that. Is there a mod about?

Anninyn · Sep 18, 2012

No, we should talk about it for a few months and never make a decision.

(I voted Norwich but am OK with Cambridge as a second choice)

And if you were Irish we could have a vote on whether we accept the decision of the vote, and then arrange another one.

I'd really like to go, so could it be somewhere that most domestic airlines fly to?

Shakesbear · Sep 18, 2012

Voted. Is it a secret vote?

The only places I am not keen on are Northampton and London.

Norwich has an airport although I doubt it'd be a straight flight from your end.

No. But don't worry. We won't tell anyone what you went for. :tongue

JimmyB27 · Sep 18, 2012

I'm fairly happy with any of them to be honest. Norwich would be least favourite though, just because of the distance.

So I am voting for the blow it out ya ass option.

seun · Sep 18, 2012

You cut me deep, Jimmy.

Not Solomon Brown · Sep 18, 2012

I voted for the last option as I assumed it was the only location that didn't have a university.
I can't find it on the map, though.

Not Solomon Brown · Sep 18, 2012

(and they're all a bit too far away)

Buffysquirrel · Sep 18, 2012

Good choices. None of them are any good for me, so you're all safe!

It sounds unlikely, but there is in fact a direct flight with flybe from Belfast City to Norwich.

Nice.

seun · Sep 20, 2012

Norwich in the lead, but it's all still to play for as we move into the second half.

Anyone think of any AWers who might have missed this and who'd want to be there?

Six Alaric · Sep 20, 2012

Much too newbie to attend so I won't taint the votes - just wanted to say I'm delighted to see other members here are from around Narrich.

Never encountered that on an international forum before. Assa riyt weird feelin, tha.

You're more than welcome to come along. We don't bite. Well, I do, but everyone else is OK.

Mr Flibble · Sep 20, 2012

Speak for yourself, I'm savage, me.

Any of those'd be good for me. It's more whether the dates would clash with other stuff/I could get time off work.

Shakesbear · Sep 20, 2012

Gavage no one is too new to come to a meet! And don't worry about Seun, we'll make sure he is muzzled.

OK . . . looks like it is going to be Norwich. So where in Norwich and date.

Easter Monday is April 1 - so we could go for the following weekends 6, 13, 20, 27 - or later some time in May. May 6 and 27 are the Bank Holidays. At the moment I can do any of them. So . . . Seun, another poll? or shall we just wait and see if any date is really popular?

Anninyn · Sep 20, 2012

I can do any date at the moment.

mirandashell · Sep 20, 2012

I know it's too late now but why are all the choices in the South East? So unfair to the minority of the British population that live elsewhere......
