Time to announce the details of the Milton Keynes 2012 meet. :D

Date: Saturday the 14th of January 2012
Time: 17.00 – Late
Location:Weatherspoons, Milton Keynes


The full address is: Weatherspoon, 201 Midsummer Boulevard, Bouverie Square, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK9 1EA (This can also be seen on google maps) :D

This is a friendly evening in the pub and a chance to meet with people of similar interests.

To help find the right group quickly look for a selection of holiday broachers on the centre of the table along with a greeting card.

There is more than one weatherspoons in Milton Keynes including another on Midsummer Boulevard so please be carful your entering the right pub. The meet is at the top end of Midsummer Boulevard close to the main rail station and is just called Weatherspoons which is located directly next to Chiquito the Mexican restaurant.

The pub serves a very good selection of ales, ciders, wines, beers and spirits. In addition there is also a wide range of soft drinks on offer. Also a great place to eat.

If you are having trouble finding the meet on the day or want to call for a chat in advance call me on 07984 886 085.

How do I get there?
Milton Keynes Central station is served by many trains coming in from the north and up from London. The best place to start is http://www.nationalrail.co.uk. Milton Keynes is also served well by coaches; you may want to look at http://www.nationalexpress.com. Also there is the X5 cross country coach which runs every half an hour between Oxford and Cambridge (stopping at Milton Keynes of course) http://www.stagecoachx5.com. The best Airport would be Luton where you catch a direct virgin coach from Luton to Milton Keynes.

Staying over?
There are many hotels to choose from. The nearest hotel is the Travelodge and the Jurys inn hotel which is very close to the meet venue. I would recommend looking at http://www.lastminute.com for other hotels near by.

So if you fancy it please pop your name down.

See you there!

Expecting at least 10 people already. Great to see so many for the second MK meet. Already thinking of squeezing an extra meet in the summer.

(London meet will be back as always in Oct/Nov).

Got back from this last night, thanks Smiley for organising a great meet!

It was really fun to see you all - some for the first time.

I realised we forgot to take a picture, but at least we signed the card!

Roll on Birmingham....
