AMIT 'Back in the day' meet up 2023 - location/date poll..

[Knopflerfan]

Hi,

After some discussion Ingridswing & I are looking to organise an AMIT meet up next year (2023) at a location to be decided. After some deliberation we've come up with three weekends, one in May, one in June & one in July so we can literally have two nights three days together where we hope once decided that we can do some MK related walks etc during the day

For example: if we go to Newcastle we could visit many MK related places including a pilgrimage to Whitley Bay to see the ToL words in the paving slabs at the Spanish City!

Flood me with ideas!!

Please note:
The poll will run for 1 month only and will expire on the 30th November 2022.....

And please use the poll to choose 1 or 2 favorite weekends.
We are thinking about saturday as main MK day.
MK related activity during the day and party on saturday night.

Let the ideas come in please!

I've always wanted to go back to Whitley Bay.  My Mum and Dad took me by car there on the way home from a shopping trip to Newcastle one day in the car when I was a boy, however it was wet and windy so I only gazed out of the window at the Spanish City.  There's Tynemouth, North and South Shields just down the coast too.

I've been there once - only to Whitley Bay FC to watch my team Poole Town FC play them in the FA Vase Semi Final!!!

Whitley Bay is easy peasy to get to from Newcastle on the Metro so would be a myst do on the Saturday!

We went to Whitley Bay last February after we had been to The Sage for Transatlantic Sessions.   It was very windy, but it was great to see the  paving with ToL.  We returned home via Cullercoats and Tynemouth.   

Looking forward to seeing our MK friends again!

When does the poll end?

When does the poll end?

Indefinitely at the moment - we need to allow time for the regulars that haven't been on here for a while and have been notified...

The meet up is most certainly looking like being held in Newcastle in May or June 2023....

Thanks!    There needs to be a deadline set so that a decent hotel can be booked, especially for June.

Of course it's very dependent on whether LHM goes to London as I get the feeling there are masses wanting to go there....

London would be a no no for us in that case!

Id like to think the meet up would still be in Newcastle and would be to coincide with when LHM is being staged to enable those who wish to attend the musical could 'pop' up to Newcastle over that particular weekend..

I'm going to ask Ingridswing to put a 'month' limit on the poll, so please cast a vote for your choice of venue/date. Remember we only have around 6 months to get this sorted!

So whichever Location/Date has the highest vote is 'What it is'

That sounds like a good idea!
