Let’s get together and feel awright!
I hate to apologise for not blogging much as it assumes you lot are missing me. it seems work and university have taken over my life to the point that I have very little time to write for fun. Shame.
Anyways, as I am a glutton for punishment for organising anything I am going to run something by you.
It has been suggested that we should have another bloggers meet up in Edinburgh in May next year. That’s 2011.
I’m thinking the last weekend in May, 27th – 29th. The Monday is an English Bank Holiday so should help those coming up from England.
I know it is a while off, but these things take time to organise. I’m opening it up to everyone, male and female this time. If you are outside the UK, feel free to come as well.
So…
Bloggers Meet Up (I need a better name)
Edinburgh, Scotland
Friday 27th – 30th May 2011
Whoop whoop! Let me know if you are interested…oh and please put this up on your own blogs so we can spread the word…
OMG YES CAN I COME PLEASE?
I missed the last two meetups due to other committments on the same days (last time it meant that I would only be able to spend one day in Edinburgh which would have been pants!) But at least I can start booking this asap.

Even though I’ve been absent on my blog/twitter/everyone elses blogs and missed th last meet-up so may have been thrown out ofthe good bloggers circle could I come please?
[Reply]
Of course ladies, and Elle it would be lovely to meet you!

I guess as a blogger living in Edinburgh I have no excuses, do I? I could probably give you a hand organising it, too. It can’t be that different from organising scientific symposia that I do for living, right?

Thanks Smidge! Can’t wait now

I’ve posted up on the Brit Bloggers front page and created a forum post to gauge interest there too.
Still thinking about a meetup logo we might like!

Liz, don’t you have a mailing list? I am sure you have sent me emails from Britbloggers before, might be worth sending it out to everyone if not everyone visits the new forum…

I’ve got it, brilliant. Will keep up with any comments on there. Was thinking of setting up a blog about the meet to keep people up to date.
We are up to 12 now, which is excellent in just one day!

Hey there,
So I’m both new to your blog and to blogging myself but I’m hoping my blog will grow in time… I’m based in Edinburgh too and would love to come along. I’m an excellent events organiser (even if I do say so myself) so if you need any help just give me a shout!
Lucy (aka, Katie)

You can sign up to Britbloggers here http://britbloggers.webs.com/
L-S just sent a mail shot out all the members telling them the meet up was happening, there was nothing more in it than that. Im thinking of ways of keeping everyone up to date. Maybe a blog which people can subscribe to might work best.

Howdy Doody!

Count me in.
[Reply]
I’m in!!!
Wondering if I should fly or catch the train up…..
And Kate – I’d love to help if I can.
Where did you look at places to stay last May?
Also Maybe we could have an itinerary (that involves a ghost tour)??
