Badgerstock: The meet up to end all meet ups.
-
Surely we should calculate the centre based on badger locations, weighted by post count. Landmasd seems somewhat arbitrary.
As for me - doubt I'll make it cos kids, buy you never know. What'll it be, a Saturday all-nighter or something? -
Birmingham's good in terms of England, but if folks are coming from Scotland it's probably a bit far.
And it's Birmingham. -

Yeah, this pretty much.
And landmass is a bit arbitrary, but it seems a lot easier than trying to ascertain the location of each individual poster who may or may not be able to come anyway and then trying work it out from that. -
Fuck Manchester, lanc bastards! -
What's early summer? End of July?
We were thinking of going to Scotland this summer, so I might be able to connect these two. Last two times we were planning to go to Scotland, we ended up in France, so don't take my word for actually being there.
Anyway, I have no clue where all those places are, but, depending on ferry costs, we will cross the Northsea via Ijmuiden and arrive in Newcastle, or travel to Calais first (there's France again) and arrive in Dover. -
To be fair, the train from Newcastle to London takes less time than the train to Manchester.
York is easy to get to from most places, 2 hours from London or Edinburgh by train.
Fuck Birmingham. -

That may possibly be true, however we have Londoncentric meet ups as it is, and even if it's the lowest mean distance, it's still a damn long way for our sizable Scottish contingent. Besides which, even if we did get everyone else down to London, all the non-Londoners would probably spend the entire evening banging on about how expensive everything is.
@Nina: haven't got a date yet, am open to suggestions. -
York is lovely. -

Thought this said Burgerstock for a sec and got a bit excited. -

It claims to be the centre of England, not mainland Britain nor the UK. It's based on the fact that it's the furthest point from the sea, which is a bit of a shit way to define "middle."
As quoted by Ordnance Survey in Wikipedia though, the actual centre points are:
Whitendale Hanging Stones, near Brennand Farm, outside Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire in the Forest of Bowland (Great Britain, including islands)
A field south of Calderstones Partnership NHS Mental Health Trust, near Whalley, Lancashire (Great Britain, not including islands)
Near the junction of Fenham Carr Lane and Wyresdale Road one mile south east of the city of Lancaster and close to the Ashton Memorial (UK, including NI)
Now we just need everyone's addresses so we can work out the centre of the distribution of the forum. -

I'm not going to Scotland.
Actually, now I think about it this wouldn't work. If we weighted it by post count we'd end up turning up at wherever Tempy was living before he moved to Scotland. -
York it is then. We just need a date now. -
You need a date, I'm taking rev.

It would be interesting just to try this and see where it says... -

Not just 10p...

Please do not go to Birmingham. I'm not even going but it would upset me if innocent and perfectly nice people went to Birmingham.

Bristol is fairly easy to get to by train. Might be a hefty trek from Scotland though, but probably not to long from elsewhere (you could get pissed on the train?). it's decent there to, lots of good pubs selling head mashing cider.

Actually, flights from Eddie to Brizzol start at £75 return and take an hour. Probably half the cost of a train.

Don't be silly.

Bristol I quite liked the idea of."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."
