Meet-Up 2014 Meet up in United Kingdom (Midlands?? Stratford on Avon ??)
OP: December 13, 2013, 03:50:15 PM
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hoping to arrange a Meet up for LBSers in United Kingdom.

It has been suggested that the Midlands would be an idea maybe Stratford on Avon?  With an overnight stay in a Travel lodge or Cottage or similar.

Can one of the noble moderators please make this a sticky??

Anyone interested please post on this thread to express your intent.

Thanking you xxx

Ok, I looked up flights etc. Manchester seems to be the closest to Stratford-on-Avon.  When I looked up the train from the airport, it seems there is no train to Staford-on-Avon, but there is a train to Stafford-upon-Avon, or Brat ford-on-Avon... which would be the best train to take to get to Stafford-on-Avon?   

The flight from Charleroi, Belgium to Manchester is really cheap, only 39 euro's return... the bus from Lux to Charleroi, which is so convenient and affordable, it is the train from Manchester Airport to Stratford on Avon is the complicated part, but all that could be worked out later... seeing as there are no dates mentioned yet... hehehe... Anyway, it seems quite do-able! 

Just doing some preliminary research, as it would be nice to meet up with you ladies.

Can you fly to Birmingham?  That might be nearer than Manchester to Stratford upon Avon...  It's only 45 minutes from Birmingham to Stratford I envisage. 

39 euros return - bargain!

Birmingham is the most obvious and closest technically although there is an airport at Coventry which is closer. Yes it is about 40 mins from Stratford and there are trains from Birmingham and Coventry but I can pick anyone up at any station in a 20 mile radius of Stratford.
Manchester is way too up north!

Suggested time Feb - April? or later in good weather?

For those of us with kids, May 24-31 is half-term, and the weather should be pretty nice.

Nice time of year over there in Jolly Old England, love the flowers and the daffies!  Flights still pretty reasonable.  All you can do is decide on a date for the vast majority of you...can't, won't be able to please everybody.

I'm thinking that May is possibly too late as flights and hotel costs will rocket. The Easter holidays might be a better bet and as that is during April - it might be quite warm as it has been for the last few years then.

But then again UK weather? ::) ::) ::) ::) ;) ;)
