GNamer Forum Meetup In Summer Time

It is in the Diarlilly.

What's everyone's thinking then? Are we going for one day or go Saturday stay over till Sunday? I could always bring the Wii U with a selection of multiplayer games if that were possible.

I think me and Drunka are going to stay the night.

Also we should have two Wii U's and two copies of Pokken for LAN multiplayer, which Is the only way I think to play MP not online.

I'll be spending a night too. Can bring consoles and controllers.

I'll probably do likewise. Have people booked up places to stay, or...?

Not yet! I think we should block book an in-town Travelodge, or something like that.

Yeah, we ideally want to all be in one place, and presumably bulk is cheaper. Definitely not planning on doing Newcastle and back in a day!

Aye, I just assumed everyone was doing the two nights thing.

*imagines the 8 player smash bros madness*

Yeah, I'll be heading up on the Saturday and spending the night. Travellodge will likely be the way to go I reckon!

Just to confirm, people are going up on the Saturday? Morning or afternoon? It's suddenly become quite relevant for me, I have a potential choir rehearsal on the Friday evening.

I'm still yet to book this off but as I've got stock take off, I'm going to use that as leverage to get Sat - Monday off.

I would think me and Drunka would fly up Saturday Morning.

Also I was thinking Zero said about a pub which he's been to is decent, do they have a function room or something as when I've been to streetpass events which includes using the Wii U we've gone to a certain bit of the pub where a TV was setup.

Maybe Zero could sort something out like that.

My friend recently moved up to Newcastle so I might see if I can visit him the same weekend (and stay over at his on the cheap).

Morning, most likely. Need to seriously research this, and soon.

Indeed! As soon as I get back from my holiday at the start of next month, this will be at the top of my agenda.

This sounds ace.

Right chuffsters. We really ought to get the ball rolling on this and get some plans set in concrete besides a date and a place. Some things that need sorting:

Accommodation - I'm assuming we're just going Travelodge/Holiday Inn, but I may be assuming wrongly!

Plans - Function room sounds like a shout, especially if we can get a TV in for some gaming laughs.

I'm dead excited for this, I should add.

Good shout with the hurrying-up, Jayseph. Is anyone staying Sunday? My plan is currently to book Monday off work and stay there on the Sat./Sun. nights.

No can do on the Sunday stay - work to do on that there Monday! I'll get checking prices and such - results coming soon!

I'd like to - will need to double check if I can get Monday off too.

I'm currently thinking I'd only stay Saturday night, maybe Friday. Depending on how I'm travelling, I might be able to go back Monday morning and work the late shift.

Has anybody more sensible than me started looking at hotels etc yet?

I'll probably just be sticking to travelling down on the Friday, staying the Saturday & then away on the Sunday.

Nope, but then I'm not sensible.

Good job Mas is here, I've had a look but as I don't know where were actually going in Newcastle. I've gone for the nearest to the airport with a twin room (this seems rather hard) and for Saturday & Sunday night it would cost £166.

And flights for £52 each, which would be bring us back Monday morning at 9.40 in Bristol. If we came back on the Sunday it be £94 each and the Hotel would only be £97 for a Twin Room.

So Sat & Sun would cost us £135 each or we stay the one night and it cost's us £142.50 each.

Travelodges and that in the town centre (or thereabouts) appear to be just over £100 for the Saturday for single rooms...

I'd imagine twin rooms will be a bit cheaper, so we should probably aim for those.

That is true - I hope there's someone out there who can cope with my spleen-rattling snoring...
