Here's an idea to chew over...
Member meet-up / mini HeelMeet opportunities:-
From experience, i've found that HeelMeets (get-togethers of likeminded HHP and/or H4M members) are b*****y hard to arrange.
Difficulties in agreeing dates is the key problem, along with changes of plans and last-minute hitches that scupper the agreed rendezvous.
Why don't we have a forum/or ongoing thread where members can post their short notice whereabout intentions (e.g. for the coming 1-3 days or the coming weekend), this being an open invitation to other members to 'turn up' or to make a get-together out of it.
e.g.
- I'm going to be in Milton Keynes IKEA on friday evening. Anyone want to meet up for an Expressokaffe and maybe visit the cineplex afterwards?
- I'm going to be at Birmingham Bull Ring on Tuesday afternoon/evening for a shoe shopping expedition. Feel free to join me.
- I'm attending a goth-metal gig at Camden Underworld next saturday. do come along yourselves if that kind of thing is up your musical alley.
[NB. only one of the above is currently true BTW]
If a respondent is interested, they can either just turn up at said time/place or can PM the poster to fine-tune the meeting arrangements.
For those 'just turning up', it might be useful for the poster to state some sort of identifying mark (i'll be wearing a red carnation, that sort of thing )
I'm certain this kind of meet-up opportunity would be workable (in the UK anyway). Maybe too few members on H4M at present to make it a goer though.
What do you think?
