Holmstack Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 In the absence of BPDWorld chat I’ve just been chatting on MSN with Dolphin and Rachel and an idea has come up, why don’t we organise a BPDWorld Shindig.I live in Meltham, a small Pennine village on the outskirts of Huddersfield, not far from Holmfirth, where Last of the Summer Wine is filmed, a beautiful part of the country. Even better it’s not far from Wakefield, (around 10 miles), where the BPDWorld HQ is. As Dolphin and her B/F are having a bad are having a bad time with their neighbours I invited them to come and stay for a few days of escape and the idea has grown from this.Why don’t we organise a meet?My place is only small, a typical local Yorkshire mill workers cottage, but if peeps are willing to camp out on floors and inflatable mattresses, a few could doss here for at least a night and any overflow could put tents up on the beautiful lawns the fire station across the road from me has. . and I’m sure other local and inexpensive accommodation could be sourced for those who can’t find floor or F/S lawn space, and just think of the surprise Joshua would have, us all turning up on the doorstep of BPDWorld at the same time to harass him . It might even drag a few hermits from their caves.Just a mad idea at the moment but perhaps we can build on it?Comments welcome.Highest regards, Phil XX to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verbena Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 If you have any interest at all in meeting like minded people - people who have supported you and who youhave supported, I would strongly encourage you to letJoshua know this and use every ounce of courage youhave to attend any event. A year and a half ago I flewfrom Moline, Illinois to Chicago to fucking Paris airportwhich was a nightmare of an airport I won't even get intothat - to Manchester where I was met by a BPDWorld member. The money exchange was closed, and thoughI was able to put my train ticket on my charge, she loanedme 5 pounds for a cab, and a pound for a phone call incase I needed it, and showed me how to use the phone, then sent me on my way. She was unable to travel on toWakefield with me. I found my way to the first BPDWorldconference alone. I was up for probably a full day by thetime I got to the motel, but when I got there, BPDWorldstaff were on hand and made sure I was OK, and I waswell taken care of for the next three days. There was asocial with music and dance (no pressure to dance, drink ortalk - no pressure at all), and there were a few times wegot together for breakfast or dinner. There was a lot of laughing - Josh is the smartest, funniest person and the besthost you'll ever meet. And it was all people I had read ortalked to in chat or seen in the forums, and everyone wasso accepting of eachother. It didn't matter what we looked like or what we wore, or how we acted, or if we wanted to sit alone to eat or stay in bed all day or get drunk or smokeour brains out or be too happy or too sad. You will not besorry, I absolutely guarentee. And if you want just a verysmall group with no drinking or music, let him know that too.But I agree that at least for the first meeting, it is a betteridea to have it arranged for you. Have a good time.XXXAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
