The Exhilarating Edinburgh Encounter of Exciting Exercise Endeavours - 7-9 October 2016

[Jarric]

Money has got in the way, so I won't be making it this time round, sorry. Next year!

[GingaNinja]

I have the weekend booked off so, I should be free

[Mr_Willes]

Due to some recent financial setbacks i can assure i won't be making it.

 

HAVE A GREAT TIME EVERYBODY!

 

Please make lots of pics and share the stories here!!!

[Sarah Barr]

So excited to see people, even if it's not for the whole weekend like I'd hoped!

[Chen Wangting]

Ok, the flights are booked. I'm arriving on thursday and leave on tuesday.

[AugustaAdaByron]

Booked the flights as well! Tuesday to Tuesday!  

[Schaengel]

Woah this is exciting...gonna book my flights tomorrow...somehow it looks like it will be a longer vacation with some more days and citys then I though (but my colleagues said I have to visit the isle of skye... )

May be worth linking up with @chickie.monkey, I think she was planning to go to Skye also.

 

I may have missed this, have people sorted their accommodation? I have a hotel room booked but my partner most likely isn't going now, so if there's a chance to share that would be great!

[Finisterre]

So I can probably still pop along but I've broken my foot so don't think I'll be able to do any activities

[SpecialSundae]

Sorry, I've been struggling with the forums of late.

 

Could someone, anyone, do a quick check of who all is coming to lift and coming to Wings so I can confirm bookings (or arrange access to CSE rather than St Leo's if there are only a few of us)?

Do you know when the start and end time of the lifting would be on Saturday? I'll prod people on this thread who haven't said they're not coming and message you with numbers when I hear back!

I think we're probably looking at 2-4 or 3-5 but it'll be £70 for the hire for two hours so we need to know we have enough people to make it worthwhile.

This is Sarah speaking! I don't know why it's making me type in a quote box!

The NF messaging thing will only let me email 3 people at a time and I can't send more than 1 msg per minute, so I should hopefully have everyone emailed in an hour. 

Could people try to reply as soon as they can?

Thank you!

[Sarah Barr]

"You are only allowed to send 5 messages per day."

 

AAAAA

 

I'll try tagging people I've not emailed yet - @Zooma, @Sjard, @chickie.monkey, @ChunkyMonkey, @Happytin, @Hellda, @Zappa, could you PM me with your availability as soon as you can? Thank you!

 

*cough*

 

"Hello!

 

I'm messaging you guys with this highly personal copy-pasted email because you'd showed interest in the Edinburgh meet-up on the 7-9th October and we're just trying to nail down some final numbers for bookings. 

Are you able to come? And specifically, will you be able to make it to:

- the Wings fest on the Friday night

- the lifting party on Saturday afternoon?

 

Lastly, will you be bringing anyone with you to either event?

 

Thanks and hope to see you in October! 

Sarah

I've already replied to the private message but let me post here as well. I'm in for both Wings and lifting. I'll try to bring the friend whose flat I'll be staying in to both Wings and lifting but I wouldn't hold my breathe that she'll join.

 

P.S.: If you think it'd help I could make a doodle.

Hehe, a doodle would probably have been the most sensible option! I wanted to make sure everyone got PM-ed so they were more likely to get the message, I know sometimes people get unsubbed from threads or miss posts buried in long threads.

PMing people was a good plan. I wouldn't have noticed the new posts on this thread otherwise. I've even gotten unsubscribed from my battle log which I update ever 2-3 days!

Yes!! Send me a PM and we will discuss. I would say I'll PM you, but I'm busy and slackery and will probably forget.

@sterre runs. Not sure she's coming along.

 

Anyone else?

 

I'll definitely come along to some stuff (I'm conveniently already in town, even though I've been really negligent about coming to the forums).

[SpecialSundae]

Lifting is booked for 3-5pm on Saturday.

 

Could everyone taking part please wire me £15 in advance, as the hall is costing £60 per hour?

[fengor]

[Chen Wangting]

You may also want to remember to bring the right clothes for lifting  

(or I'll just be laughing again)

I think I have your PayPal address. Could you confirm that you received the money?
