Last year I met two Bloopers, and they were two of the highlights of my year, which made me determined to meet more of you this year, so after some discussion, Leanne (*snowball*), Helen (Hells Belle) and I are arranging the first big Bloop get together.

Our provisional dates are either 11th or 18th July, and we were thinking of holding a big barbecue in Nottingham (chosen because it's roughly in the middle of the UK, so accessible in a few hours for most British Bloopers. Also Helen lives there, so can be in charge of finding a suitable location ;D). Obviously people would need to arrange their own transport and accommodation, and everyone would need to contribute some food and drink, but we think it could be a great day.

So far we have about 10 British Bloopers interested (although you obviously don't have to be British to come!), who else wants to join us?

ooooo Nottingham is only like 40 minutes away from me on train!

You should come! It would be cool to meet you.

I think at some point we will need e-mail addresses from everyone who's interested, and keep you all updated on specific plans that way. We don't really want to post specific details on here, and risk getting gatecrashed!

I'll be there as I'll of finished uni for the year, so I wont be stuck in Wales anymore!

What about starting an FO diary for it... for the whole "security" thing, people can request to join it and have to be accepted by someone already a member... its easy, the community isn't huge... everyone knows someone :P

Not that it matters to me, being in Aus!

You should have an Australian one too!

That's a good idea about the FO entry. Then I'd have a list of everyone too. I'll try and set one up. There seems quite a few people interested anyway. It's very exciting.

I mean FO diary.

An Aussie one would be cool. I have met a good chunk of my Aussie faves (I even got a job with one!!!)... hard to get everyone in the one place though!!! Australia is bigger than people think!!

Well, yes, I realise that. But I thought most Australian Bloopers were at least on the east coast (except Jose!), and mostly south east. And I remember VirginBlue flights being pretty cheap between say Sydney and Melbourne. But then that was over 4 years ago! I still think it could be done though.

I want to coooooome *cries* How about everyone who contributes for food and drinks also contributes for my plane ticket? lol Oh and I also need someone to go to Uni for me until I come back coz we have to take summer semesters here =P

Im definitely up for it! should be a right laugh! x

possibly me.... !! i'm in essex and dont drive but i might be able to catch a lift, lol.

and would i be aqble to bring my kids??? If not i wouldnt be able to make it.

Yeah, I assumed some people would bring their kids. That's partly why I thought a daytime even like a barbecue would be best. Then everyone can go, and people who need to can head home in the evening. And those of us who want to can always go for drinks in Nottingham afterwards.

COOL!
If you do start a diary, will you let me know please because I really DO want to come, I think this is a really good idea.. I've already met quite a few bloopers, and it's always good fun! :)

I posted it further down in the thread. But I've created the diary... it's HERE

I'd love to, but I'm here in the US. :(

I think it is a bit far for me to travel. (about 7 hours by plane)

Ooh! I'd definitely be interesting - especially as I'm a British Blooper :)

...BUT... That date... EEK... I'll be in Italy at that time if my job works out :-o Lol.

* I'd definitely be interested!

well if i was in the UK i would go!

You already know I'm in, but I might as well say it again ;-)

Ahhh. Sounds awesome! I wish I could be there. Well, I'll at least think of you all having fun together :)

I wouldn't mind starting one for the Ontario Bloopers and depending where we could hold it, some people from the states could come up as well!

Yes, all four or five of us :P
And we've already met some ;) bahaha. Me, you and Ashley, def. aha
