I thought I would make this a separate post, as I'm not sure if there's people who will be wanting to only come to this?

Date:
Saturday 22nd September

Time:
From 2pm

Location:
The Pavilion Bar
2 Upper Church Road
Weston-super-Mare
BS232DT

We will be taking over the lower bar, so just down the stairs to the right of the main doors.

The pub is a few minutes walk from the pier along the seafront towards Knightstone Island. There are 2 car parks right next to it. Hampton and Melrose.

Weston super Mare is well covered by Public Transport and there are buses and trains to the town centre, the pub isn't a long walk from the bus or train station.
There are also many B&Bs and Hotels, being a sea side town.

See attached maps.

The pub offers basic bar food until around 6pm.
There isn't an official meal booked, but Weston does have a lot of nice places to eat, that cater for all tastes.

AlMostwam has set up a group chat.

You have to sign up for it, but its free and discreet.
Aps available.

If you are coming to this and/or the Sunday, if you could respond below or pm me please, that would be great

Lastly, just a little on meet etiquette..
I recently read these wonderful words from Penny Banks, and she's been kind enough to let me borrow/steal them

This is a relaxed, social meetup in a pub. There will be members of the public also there, so please wear normal vanilla clothes so we don't make anyone else uncomfortable!

We're all here to make friends and have a nice chat so it's really important that everyone has the same understanding of consent, and boundaries, especially those of us who've never attended a munch or a meetup before.

Please remember that many people don't like physical contact, especially with people they haven't met before, and refrain from touching people without their consent - even a friendly pat on the shoulder or a hug can encroach on people's personal space so let's all make a conscious effort to be respectful of everyone's limits!

If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, the first step to take is to tell them a clear "no thank you". If they continue to be inappropriate, please tell me or Leonmoomin immediately, or message us privately afterwards.We are more than happy to ask people to leave if their behaviour isn't cool or step in if you don't feel confident telling someone you're not interested.

All we want is for everyone to have nice time.

Look forward to seeing you all.

I can't be there obviously, but I'd like to buy you and Leon a drink at least. I'd offer a round if I wasn't so damn poor. Is there an app for that? If not, I'll just buy a couple scenes, but that feels like a cop out...

Ahhhh that's so sweet of you
Well Leon doesn't drink, so buy a clip and then we all win

If we'd made it to Vegas, you were one of the people I was looking forward to having a chat with, so I wish you were coming too xx

Managed to get the app working on the third attempt...

Lisa, please know you're always welcome to get handsy with the Regemeister.

Great advice there, and thanks for the update....
My partner & I will be at both events...looking forward to a good catchup with friends old and new - bring it on!!!

Done!

Also, aw shucks

What did you treat us all too? xx

I'll be at both events, and should get the pub on Saturday for around 4pm. Really looking forward to seeing you all then.

Kirsty. xx

Vanilla clothes? Whipped cream, in the US is usually vanilla flavored, so...recreate that scene from "Varsity Blues" but with a near-middle-aged, overweight, hairy dude (me)...got it.

Lily and I will be there and we're looking forward to meeting you all.

The funniest thing about meet ups is getting used to saying words like 'gunge' in conversation out loud for the first time!

Will be at both events and looking forward to seeing everyone.

Also, big thanks to Lisa, Leon and all the crew for organising this. It must be a lot of work and it is much appreciated.

Hi everyone, will be there both days, be great to meet everyone !

I'll meet you all next Sunday

I'll be coming to this, and Susie is coming with me. See you all there!

Disappointed I cannot make it as Weston is too far away presently for me as I'm in baby limboland. Missus is about ready to drop no 2 out anytime, and knowing my luck I would be mid bucket throw at Lisa meaning my aim would be off.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Have fun, and drink responsibly - don't spill it!

Thanks for this great initiative! It sounds like an amazing event organized by one of the - in my opinion - most sympathetic and fun producer team.

I am in a similar (not same =)) situation as Jonny which makes it difficult to fly over from Germany, especially as there's no late option going back on sunday.

So it's really a pity I am going to miss that one. Hope there will be a repetition. Anyway, have fun all of those who are joining!

Was your aim ever on?! (yes, I had jug gate, but I didn't do too badly from the gantry - well, in the ones we've seen at least! If only we had gunge blasters then!) Shame you can't make it, been ages! (It's cos Ali's coming ya big feartie!) Hope all is well with the Baines!

Hey,

Soooooooooo

This place has newly opened around the corner from the Pavilion bar.
They can accommodate us all!
Anyone fancy a nice meal after?
Although it's a smokehouse, I have been assured they do cater for all eating habits.

Obviously, this is quite late in the day, so if your in let me know ASAP.
Thinking I'll book for 8pm Saturday??

The pavilion does do food, but it's very basic, and finishes early.

I think Susie and I could be up for that!

Candy & I will join you!

Going to make the meal 7pm, as general feeling is we'll need something to soak up the alcohol

Sorry guys.

Won't be able to make the weekend now.

Shame as I was looking to seeing everyone

I think I could be up for that, after the bar and before Sunday's fun; I'll be there for all of it.

Count me in.

Hope you all enjoy yourselves, I wish it was possible to travel down, but it'll have to be another time.

NOOOOOO!!!! Get your ass out there man! Is it work? I'll send them a flour bomb threat!

Hi Lisa,

Yes, I would love to join you all for the meal on Saturday.

the meal sounds good, count me in. I will be there for the saturday and sunday, though the hotel check in is not till 4pm so might be a little bit late

I'll be at the pub but will be heading off for about 5ish!
