    Default UK Gathering 2010?

    If you've been reading Maerlyn's spotlight thread (...and if you haven't, WHY NOT?!! ) there's been mention of a few members possibly having a London get together - September/October 2010.

    It's all 2 years away and leaves much to be confirmed, but considering the cost to anyone over the pond or indeed in Europe, it might be a good incentive to save if we start discussing it now

    I"m completely down for a London Gathering - I'll stock up on plenty of Arsenal memoribilia, and we'll hit as many pubs as we possibly can with the time that we have to work with!

    about how much do you think that would cost? Plane from Michigan to London, plus room, and other expenses.

    Razz - Not sure, I was looking to come to Vegas for this years gathering and the flight was going to cost about £600, which is roughly $1200. If you goto an airline website they normally have a page where you can input a destination and get a rough quote.

    Accomodation wouldn't be too bad. You could stay in a travel lodge from around £30-£40 a night...or cheaper depending on where you wanted to stay.

    Stone - let me know when you're about this October - I'm going to London at halloween for a Neil gaiman signing

    Letti - *dies*

    razz, how old are you exactly? I ask this because they made some restrictions on theage of people coming to stay in a hostel in London. Anyway, if you make a reservation early enough on hostelworld.com, you should be able to stay in London cheaply. September is not even good for tourism, so this is really convenient. Check the hostels out of town in case the other ones are too expensive. The tube can be inexpensive too!
    To anyone else who is between 18 and 30, this applies to you as well, so check the hostels a month before and it should be ok!

    You can tentatively count me in for this one. I've been wanting to go to England for awhile now.

    London in two years??

    We have always wanted to visit, we might be able to do this. I really need a reason to get a passport anyway.

    (should probably start that process now)
