jillv Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Some very constructive and sensible suggestions there, Paul. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippleAndStarfish Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Dice, you are doing a fantastic job in Purpley's absence. I would love to be involved in the day, but I am very anxious about meeting people, and I think maybe you will all feel I'm too old. I liked the London suggestion, cos it wouldnt be far for me to travel. Hiya Kalico. My head is slowly turning to mush atm, (cheers, meds!) Just a quick reply from me... I agree with you that Dice is doing great, I really think so too. As for you being involved - that would be great! no one would feel or think you are too old! You're a valued member of this forum, and I for one would really like the opportunity to get to meet you. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetpeas Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 are you paranoid paul c, that u wont be invited? the way you are going, and u might not like this, but hey ho, you havet held back with your thoughts, so, they way you are carrying on, bitchin ova everything, why would we want you there? nobody has said u cant come, nobody has made final plans, u have not been left out, you are paranoid and defensive, and i personally do not want to meet you!! dont care if u think im being harsh, you have been winding people up now for days.... do urself a favour and move along, or simply grow up. oh and by the way, why would YOU want to meet us cliquey bullies? having your opinion and disagreeing with someone is not bullying. You make it so in your own mind. Well i am just stuck for words,What a horrible thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benway Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi *morning all* I'd really like to go. I rem Sah posting that she is at her best when she travels, and i am like that too. I went to the UK alone in 07 \& 08, so I reckon I would be grand. I don't mind where it is as long as its near enuff or on a bus route to the major airports in the UK. It would be really cool to have something to 'look forward too". And to save for. My r/l bpd friend is in hossy atm so i will be talking to her later, she went over (to birmingham i think) to meet her friends off a (self-harm) forum, and it went really well. I look on youse as my friends. I think a meet up could be a really positive thing for everyone. Fair play dice helping to organise it aswell as purpley. Maybe Joshua could give us some tips/ info on the last meet up aswell? Thanks dudes, a poll would be a good idea dice. (((ppls)) xx am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'd just like to make a point about children. I think that bringing children along should be discouraged. The thing is, you don't really know people that you only speak to over the internet, and I think its unethical to risk the safety of children by bringing them to an event which consists of people who have met each other on a mental health site. This isn't intended to be a criticism of any one person, its just I'd not bring my own children to such an event. If I'd met the people first, then that might be different.

boobsticle Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think it's a good idea about everyone proving who they are, why don't a few people voice/text chat on Skype etc just so we know that everyone is who they say they are... might be easier than having to PM about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benway Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi, I am up for birmingham or even leicster. I looked online and could find double/ twin, double x 2 beds in room- in leisceter in a really nice hotel for £35 per night. The earlier we decide a date & place, the cheaper the accom we could get. Also i'd like to have a date set so i can book a flight, as the earlier i can book the cheaper it is. I want to go anyway. As regards dates, i am flexible. What bout you guys? Was looking back at posts from 05 when there was a bpdworld conference in a hotel for a weekend. Joshua, would you be interested in having/ hosting another one of those?

Lucy Sounds great! Saturday is the best day for a meet - its usually more convenient for working people, most places are open, and transport is fine. The Saturdays in August are: 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th. At this moment, I could make any of those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachierach Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Can someone please say they will arrange this or start to? seem to be going round and round in circles. i'll need to book a hotel where ever we meet if its not london.

I best leave this thread alone and let yous get on with it then. best wishes am xx hey hun, I'd be most likely to go to one if it was in London, as I feel confident getting there and back (would be travelling by coach) So i would have to be staying overnight, possibly even going to london for 2\3 days as is 7 hours journey each way for me. There wouldn't be a way for me to travel down for one day, so even if there are a few who are closer who are up for travelling for the day, I'm sure there'd be people who are travelling longer distances who would be staying there longer as you and I would. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Can someone please say they will arrange this or start to? seem to be going round and round in circles. i'll need to book a hotel where ever we meet if its not london. I don't think one person alone can organise this - a couple of people have suggested a committee and I think that is what is required - a small group of people. There are various questions to be asked: What - is it an all day thing? A weekend thing? in a pub or hotel or cafe or other type of venue? When - the day Where - London, Birmingham, Derby, and Leicester have all been suggested. Who - its ok for people to express an interest, but eventually people have to commit to it for definite because otherwise it won't work. And that leaves another question.... is it open to everyone? Or is it up to the organisers to decide who can go? I have had disagreements with quite a few members of this site, but I've got no problem meeting up with anyone, I don't bear grudges and I think when people are in person its different anyway. I don't think we can look to Josh to help us since his BPDWORLD charity no longer exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
