8-)PROPOSED South East UK Pony Meet! (And possibly a weekender kind of style if people wish? )
Right, after consulting my last poll for dates (and consulting my calender) I think the weekend of the 1st-2nd of September would be best for the meet Do lmk if you disagree otherwise Hope to see you guys there!
Yes, that’s right yet another pony meet is being planned Well, to be honest, I felt really bummed out that there wasn’t going to be another pony meet in England until the Convention (Well, that I know of anyway ) so I thought, why not have a lovely summer one?!
This is just a thread to see who would be interested and, providing I get enough interest, figuring out a date for the meet to take place. There are a couple of things that I felt I should write down regarding “venues” (LOL! Its sounds big when I say that ) because there are a couple of choices really and I want to hear what is best for other people. Ok, so here are the choices of venue:
1) My house. Its not a lot . . . but it is a house
2) My garden, Again DEFFINATLY not a lot (I still need to mow the tiny piece of lawn that we have) but if the weather was nice, it could be nice to have an out door meet Il try and get a decent photo if anyone wants one.
3) Kenley Common. It’s a gorgeous area of greenery and not a lot of people go there, well . . . minus the dog walkers. But they are all very nice. Here’s a link to some photos of the common if you like: home2.btconnect.com/br...Kenley.htm
4) A Park in London. London’s a big place and with many a park so . . . that’s another good choice Providing the wet weather stays away

And . . .ummm, well I think that’s about it for the venues I can’t think of any other good ones that are well . . .accessible really
The only problem with Kenley is that it is only a tiny wee station and there are only two lines to the station, one going towards Caterham and one going to London, So trains are come about every quarter of an hour on Saturdays, unless there are engineering works on the line. But trains do go there from London, so that would be ok.
And London . . . well that’s easy enough to get to J
Also, I thought that, seeing as though it may be quite a trek to my area for some people, People who would wish to stay for the weekend (Even if we only hold it in London) are MORE then welcome to stay at mine I have plenty of bedding and campbeds so that would be no problem at all. For people who wanted to stay at mine for the Saturday night (I’m guessing the meet would be either on a Saturday or a Sunday) we could always go out for an evening meal in my local area or we could order in Chinese takeaway and have a night in? And then on the Sunday (or whenever the meet would take place) I could either show people around my area and go and raid the charity shops for ponies, or if people would like to see London, then I could show you a bit of London and maybe make the day a bit pony themed
About travel to my place, If you want to come but don’t want to brave London on your own. . . (It is a big place after all ) I am always MORE then willing to pick people up from ANY station in London. And if people want to come by Coach, that is fine too! I can meet you straight off the Coach!
Anyway, that’s enough from me, If there is enough interest in the meet then I will give more details regarding travel and what-not on a website that I will create J
So . . . what do you think? Would you be interested? and what day(s)?
