Coming soon to a town near you!! :-) I can't believe it's six months since the last one but it is! We had a great meet-up last time including Wamadeus, Smiley, Andy 250, Jammed, Muckypup, Claymore_wam, I_Like_Pie and his other half. So here's hoping we do so again. Do pop along and say hello.

----------------------------

DATE & TIME
Saturday 18th Oct. 2008, 2pm approx.
(By holding it on a Saturday afternoon, the hope is that people will be able to travel there and back within the day, saving on hotel bills. Also, by holding it in the afternoon, the pub shouldn't be as packed out as the evening and people won't need to wander round the streets in the dark.)

VENUE
The Blue Bell
27 Horsemarket St
Warrington
WA1 1TS
Food is only served up to 16:45. Anyone wanting food after that might need to nip to the Barley Mow a few seconds away.

IDENTIFICATION:
Could I suggest that a convenient way of identification without attracting attention is to carry a map, perhaps an Ordnance Survey map? (Perhaps you have one of your home area? You should - they're wonderful, as well as being useful for identifying suitable WAM locations!)

TRAVEL:
The 3 maps below show the approaches and detail. As you can see, the reason we've settled on Warrington is because it's very easy to get to, being almost enclosed by motorways and railways.

DRIVING:
On hand are the M6 (Birmingham - Scotland), the M62 (Liverpool - Manchester - Leeds - Hull) and the M56 (N. Wales - Manchester) so it's only 25 mins from Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales. For a full route map, put your postcode and that of the destination (WA1 1TS) in the route planner here (scroll down a bit on that page to get to the planner).

TRAINS & BUSES:
Easily available are the West Coast Main Line (London - Birmingham - Preston - Carlisle - Glasgow) calling at Warrington Bank Quay station (½ mile) and there's the Trans-Pennine route (Liverpool - Manchester - Leeds - York) calling at Warrington Central station (100 yards). The bus station is just round the corner too. (See below for a useful link to all bus & train timetables.)

FLIGHTS:
Liverpool Airport is just visible on the bottom left hand edge of the wider map (below) and there are so many cheap flights (it's an EasyJet hub) and easy transport connections to it these days that those travelling a distance might find it simpler to fly in! (Terribly environmentally unfriendly, mind.)

PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFO:
For those needing to find land-based public transport links, this excellent site enables you to put in your postcode (if you're in the same region) and that of your destination (WA1 1TS) and it gives you all the alternatives, even including walking time to bus stops with street by street walking directions and super-detailed maps if you click the relevant buttons!

BEHAVIOUR etc:
Although the last thing we want are 'rules', following much 'discussion' on another thread about a different meetup, could I suggest that we all think carefully about how we might scare away nervous wammers if we're not careful. (This is a fetish, after all.) Those who are confident about the way they are may not appreciate that they may scare people away from coming along to say hello. Could I suggest that we should treat everyone with respect and try not to draw attention to ourselves. We're in a provincial town-centre pub on a Saturday afternoon, not Soho on a Saturday night. I'd suggest dressing normally rather than 'flamboyantly' (e.g. best to leave the cross-dressing and rubber gear at home! LoL.), using people's real names rather than using their fetish name, and talking quietly when discussing any fetish issues which could cause embarrassment. Remember that people who work with any member of our group might be in the same pub and not everyone wants their fetishes broadcast!

AUTO e-MAIL REMINDER:
To get an automatic reminder each time this meeting becomes due, delivered by e-mail, see here.


-----------------

So who's up for a meet then? Just a chin wag and a drink for people to get to know each other - no actual wamming, of course. (The purpose of these meetings is to enable those who might want to do so to arrange that separately if they wish. Otherwise it's just a friendly afternoon in the pub with people of similar interests - what more could you want?!)

To get an e-mail reminder of this meeting in future, you could join the Area No 2 (North-west) UK Regional WAM Group.

Regards,
C_W.

Hi

Following my highly enjoyable London trip, I have got the taste for shoddy hotels again, so who knows I might be able to make this! And it's three days from my birthday!

Sploshwork permitting, of course.

Bill

Yes, I'll have to remember to book the "ACME runway landing lights" set for you this time! :D (Either that or we'll have to guide you in by phone like last time. (I thought they'd killed off one man and his dog years ago - cum bye, cum bye! ..... and he's in the pen! LoL))

Is this still going ahead?

Is anyone going to be there?

If the answer is yes to these I shall start arranging a weekend of Northern excess (including a visit to my mate Jo in Sheffield).

If not, I shall stay down here and sulk.

I would love to meet you both, Stockingman. And it's always fun meeting Candy! Hoping to get there about 2.30pm if I can find it. Might need a phone number to guide me in if somebody emails me one. Evening less likely unfortunately as I am planning to stay in Sheffield.

Anybody confirmed for this yet?

If not, I'll spend the 95 quid rail fare on getting pissed in St Len's.

Jammed is deffo booked for a glamour shoot, I am looking free at the moment, though if its going to be a quiet do I might have the weekend off.

So if people are going so, though its a bit steep of you to expect Bill to travel to meet 2 people.

regards

Andy
