Mudmonkey2 said: Why do we not have such an event in the uk
I would love to organise something like this during the summer time.
My only problem would be which city to do it in as London is way too easy, boring & obvious.
Bristol, Wales, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds and of course the Mecca of WAM, Hastings (home of Bill Shipton's legendary Splosh magazine) would be great options.
Those of us with long memories will remember there have been several similar events held in the UK in the past admittedly a long time ago. Aquantics at Tenby for at least 3 years which took place over 2 to 3 days. plus a couple of day activity events in London, all of the above featured the 'legend' Bill Shipton. Not forgetting in more recent times the London games and (dare I mention) Mostwam event in Somerset. And of course numerous social meets around the country. The problem for a Vegas style event is, as has been mentioned, an organiser.

Definitely need a new version of the Aquantics events back up and running as they looked (and sounded) awesome from what I've seen of them.
I would love to organise something for Summer 2027 and get others involved if they want to.

Man I wish we could have gone so close to Vegas!!!
There's always next year. Traditionally it's in May so keep that in mind so you can keep some time off open if you can. We always love having new people attend and have a messy good time. Once you go to one you'll be hooked. So much fun and such nice people from all over.

......I'm gonna look into it
I have always wanted to go to the UK but going to the UK for a messy event would be amazing. If you do end up planning something I would definitely be interested in attending.

It's definitely coming in 2027 if I can help it!!.
Will put a post in the forum regarding suggestions about it.
Hoping around July time would be the best time for it (weather wise & also not to clash with Vegas 2027 & Mike Nomic's Bristol Splunches which are in May & August)
Love you, too
