Greetings to everyone! Yes, I'm back... at least kind of! I'll try to be on when and as often as I can... Anyway, as the thread title says, this is the place for discussion of the 4th UK get together. I still can't believe we've already had three - seems only yesterday that people were telling me it could be done... let's keep proving them wrong So meet up number 4. Looks like Maelstrom is no longer an option, so we need to go right back to basics: location, date, confirmed attendees, preferences regarding any themes, etc. LOCATION Outpost - Sheffield
DATE TBC Target area map: maps.google.co.uk/maps?near=The+Outpost+%4053.377357,-1.470709&geocode=&q=hotels&vps=1&f=li&hl=en&jsv=453c&sll=53.378253,-1.471224&sspn=0.003648,0.006115&vpsrc=0

I would certainly hope to attend.
I can't be much help with venues I'm afraid, the only large gaming site I know of besides Maelstrom is Warhammer World, which would be alright if they've got their ventillation fixed...
I would selfishly prefer any meet up to be a bit closer to home than the Nottingham/Mansfield area, (so further South), but honestly getting there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
As far as dates go, perhaps late June/early July, (although I definatle can't make the weekends of the 6th to the 13th of July), or September, depending on how easy it is to get time off work in the school holidays August may also be alright, but I'd imagine that it would be more difficult to fix a date then since people tend to free at different times.
And as for a theme, I won't comment until we have a better idea of who could attend, altohugh an Imperial vs Chaos type thing could work well. I have however enjoyed the laid back turn up and play some games that we've done in the past.

I probably won't be able to sneak away in one of the summer months. I'm already taking days off for other things.

Good to see you Lupus old buddy Right... This is going to sound silly to you all, but, what about Sheffield? I know of a place we may be in with a chance Its called 'Outpost' Games and it is an independant company with lots of tables and a store, stocking more than just 40k ofc. It is situated near Bramhall lane and is very close to both the Bus and Train station, and there is also quite a lot of parking there too If you guys like, I could pop around later and enquire about here? Seeing as its a 10 minute walk Dave

Well Mr. Adken Seeing as it is a decent place to look at, I threw it in the mix Ofc, I am willing to travel south *shivers*... But I reckon GW HQ in Notts is probably our best bet But by now, you should realise I worship Chaos, so in essence... I am selfless and think of only ridding the Galaxy of your Corpse Emporer Dave

I would certainly be interested Ashot, depending on when you decide to do it.
It may be best for you to just decide on a date and go with, those who can't make will have to wait for the next one.

If it happens to be in Sheffield then I will be more likely to attend. Yep This might be posable for me too. I don't think it would be practicable for me to go any further south due to cost/time constraints. Also would be able to car share if I was going if anyone was intrested? (I'm in the Teesside area). I take it army's must be painted to attend? I also have a BF3 addiction so not much gets done painting wise.

The northernest (even a word?) I can go is Lester and that's a push. I'd be interested Ashot, would it be near Aldershot, as I know that's not too far from me.

Open a thread like the 3rd meeting, state where the event is and ask when people would be able to go, set a poll with the listed weekends and see which wins.

They is a place in Seaham that we could look to going. He only charges £1 for the day per person anyway, so if we had numbers we could just ask to reserve enough tables for us. And for a bonus it's only about 20 minutes away from me... Maybe the same for RT too Oh, the venue is Games Of War, and its right next to the train station.
