Reminder: The deadline is extended until the 20th. Be sure to sign up before then if you still want to come!
Ladies and gentlemen PKMN.NET members,
The summer is coming up, the admins want to celebrate a holiday, and we have decided we want to spend a small amount of that time with you. Therefore, here is the real, official, actual announcement for the second PKMN.NET official meet!
Where? London, again. This is during my holiday, and I want to spend my holiday in an interesting place, not some backwater sleeper city with no attractions. I don't think a meet in Paris or Athens will be much appreciated either.
When? 26 July. This is a Saturday, which some people preferred over last year's Sunday. The room and plane tickets are booked, so this is now set as well.
How? Sign up for it. But only if you meet our requirements. Only those of 16 years or older are allowed to attend. If you're 16 or 17 (and in some cases even when you're older), you must ask your parents or guardians for permission. That's a legal requirement.
If you are interested in coming along, reply to this topic. Do so before 20 July, so we have a chance of planning everything. Also let us know if someone will be coming along with you, so we can take this into account for our plans.
('Donations' might also speed up the process. Payment possible before or during the meet :))
Exact times and locations will be decided in private, and you will not be able to do so until you have signed up and have been approved. This is to prevent just anyone from finding out what's going on and assure we can have a slightly safer meet.
Admin note: We are not interested in complaints about the location. The meet will be in London. We're not going to travel around the country to meet anyone, we don't want to go to a place for one day, while spending the rest of our holiday elsewhere, and we don't want to inflict such a burden on every single other member who's coming either.
Times are not negotiable either. We've already had to do a lot of planning to get a time that is vaguely appropriate, and having booked everything, we can't change it now. Also, a similar reasoning as before applies.
(As for the small print: We reserve the right to refuse admittance to members for any reasons we consider appropriate. If, for example, you joined the site two days ago, you need to forgive us for not being quite as sure about your intentions)

Interesting...
...unfortunately I work on a Saturday =[
...unless it's an AM thing. I don't think I can make it.
*Is disappointed, but doesn't mind*
-Just to let you know that I am interested though...
-
I'm sorry, but it won't be. It simply wouldn't work out for everyone.
-
I'm sorry, but it won't be. It simply wouldn't work out for everyone.
Yeah. I understand that... =/
Meh.
-
hehe, I live in London...
So yeah, I could tag along if it is close enough to me...
But yeah, I know my limits so I won't be willing to go too far...
:p
-
Only those of 16 years or older will get to enter our special group. If you're 16 or 17 (and in some cases even when you're older), you must ask your parents or guardians for permission. That's a legal requirement.
This is a hard limit. You must be 16 years old or older. I'll clarify this in the post. However, I cannot allow you to attend this meet, as the admins don't want to take the responsibility.
-
Ah yes, I must have misread that. :p
Ah, ok, that seems perfectly reasonable.
If I see you dancing around the streets i'll throw donations of money at you...
-
*grumbles*
I gotta wait a couple moar years ._.
Drat.
O well, hope it goes well :P
-
Aaww.. I also live in London and I'd love to come however.... I'm 15 and my birthday is in January D: .. If only rules could be bent ¬¬
-
I'm eighteen and definately interested to come, however, I need to see if I can get the day off work on the Saturday. Sign me up, but do it in pencil so you have the ability to rub me out :P
-
People, for my sanity, if you must discuss about how you can or cannot come, do so in a seperate topic. Please reply only to sign up when you are certain or to ask questions.
-
Yep, I'm 16, I can come and I'll see you all there. My mum won't mind but I'll ask anyway for the sake of the topic and the whole legal thing.
-
16, will be 17 by the time of the meet. I'll see you all there.
-
Awesome! I ll be there no matter what!
We MUST find us an arcade with HOTD. Me wanna team up with Kat. ^^
-
I should be able to come to this one if you're prepared to put up with me =P. I'm not as bad as people think I am in person, Alex/Kay/Mike can vouch for me there. The only doubt, if there is one, is not really of much concern.. I'll get it sorted soon.
Like Enigma said, pencil me in for in case I need to drop out. Oh, and a question if I may ask; donation? ;o
-
Yeah I'll be there probably.
-
I asked my Mum earlier if I could go and she said yes. All she said I needed was the money for the train fares and someone to be with on the train. Which Rob could help with the second one.
-
Well, I think I might actually be able to make it. I should be getting a job over the summer, which should start around Mid-June. I'm sure if I asked my parents they would lend me some money and I have a few relatives in the London and Basingstoke area, so its all good~
So, put me on the list for now.
-
At the moment put me down for a tentative yes, if you'll have me back. :P
-

Only if you dress up as Steven.
-
If Mum lets me tag along with Alex and Rob, I -might- be allowed to come. Certainly hope so =]
-
Only if you dress up as Steven.
Ohohohoho, all I needed was someone's encouragement!
-

You, my friend, are on >;3
Yes, I'm in. Since my birthday is the 17th July, on which I'll be 18, I assume I'm considered old enough to come on the 26th BY MY BIG GIRL SELF : DD!
-
The Trocadero might have it.
-
My name should be at the top of the list, you guys should know that by now.
EDIT: YES KAT
-
I would go, if I was 16 and lived in landon. :'( *dissapointment*
-
People, for my sanity, if you must discuss about how you can or cannot come, do so in a seperate topic. Please reply only to sign up when you are certain or to ask questions.
Guys, follow that please. It's not too hard. It makes it easier to see who's coming and doesn't clog up the topic.
-
Are you allowed to say you'll probably come?
-
I will be coming along I am 16(almost 17) and my mum says it is all right
-
Are you allowed to say you'll probably come?
That depends on how probably your probably is.
-
Count me in. Loo said she'll cover me at work =]
-
To be fair Hicky was going to come last time until he phoned me and said he got mugged and lost his wallet and stuff.
-
I'll be there without a doubt, back in my linen suit! I'll probably drag Sam along again too.
-
yeah i will be able to go. 15 at the moment but will be 16 by the time of the meet.
[16 on july 7th.] so yeah, put conor down to the list. the first meet was cool so yeah.
-
Ooh yeah, Katie said she'll probably go too, providing someone meets us at the station again :P
-

I can take that duty again probably, if you want!
-
hahah Katie's coming again, get ready Rex!
-
Ehhhh, I'm 18, but I'm not going if Mark's not going. D:
-
So in that case, is there actually a reason for you to post?
As said, people are actually signing up through this topic, and we need to keep track of that. Please move your "OMG I CAN'T COME" posts elsewhere, as they make my job more difficult, and mean that I need to use more time to keep track of stuff, time that I simply do not have.
-
So in that case, is there actually a reason for you to post?
Right right, sorry, Your Majesty.
Well, considering I'm more or less well-known on these forums, maybe friends of mine here were wondering whether I'd go or not? My above post was the confirmation. So there. I have a right to post.
-
I know I've not been too active recently, but there's some people I'd like to meet.
Sign me up.
-
is anyone going from norfolk i could travel with? i'd like to go but it'll b gd 2 travel with someone else :)
-
I hope you guys all have fun. I live in America xD
-
Your wishes are appreciated, but please, please don't post here unless you're signing up.
Anyone want to create an different London topic?
-
Ooh yeah, Katie said she'll probably go too, providing someone meets us at the station again :P
i did that the first time and you just completely missed me! haha
and rex!!
we must finish our epic duel. i'm not done with you yet! i will not forget one year onward =p
-
It won't be a London meet without some stick on stick action.
Someone record it this time. )=<
-
Hmm... intreguing. Have to see what happens, for me, money-wise.
-

Global Mod Lord_Barnabas is coming from Norwich, drop him a PM to see if you can meet up with him beforehand, don't worry he's a big softie :P
-
This looks very interesting indeed. As tempting as it is, it doesn't look very likely I will be able to make it. But my Auntie and Uncle live down south and my family are scheduled to head down there for a few weeks. July the 26th might be a few days later after we initially leave and return back up home, but if I am in the mood I will stay with my Auntie and Uncle just so everything is easier a little more efficient if I do come to this. I will be 18 by then, which is always a bonus. The chances of me coming are fairly even as oppose to not being able to make it; which is why I have replied to this topic. Let's hope I can make it. ^_~
-
i did that the first time and you just completely missed me! haha
No, you walked straight past us twice o.o;
-
Eh.. my mum's had something of a drastic change of heart. So I actually can't come.
Really sorry for the hassle :/
-
Well, i'v just been told i don't socialise with new people.. so i shall say i can definatly go unless something aweful happens.
Should be comeing with Josh, if for some reason that fails it'll be either with a friend or on my own..
Thats if you'll have me, of course. =P
-
Thats if you'll have me, of course. =P
Course we will. Who else am I gonna lick? XP *Licks*

If you don't come, I'll kill you =D
But if you don't come, then I can't... But if you do, I won't need to...
I haven't really thought this through, have I?
-
Well, you could metathoriclley (sp) kill her I suppose. But then again, you can metathoriclley (sp) do what you want. :P

Metaphorically, and that's very true. Metaphors are powerful things.
-
Guys, do I need to remind you again about what sort of posts should and should not go in this topic?
-
I can probably go. As long as I can get my mate Ashurii1992 to take me, then, yeah - I'm in. I've been waiting to turn sixteen for this moment. Thank heck for being a teenager on a Pokemon fansite. =D
Well, I'll probably see you there. If not, then boo. But I'll definitely try to come, since I live in London.
EDIT: I can come! Don't worry guys! I'll be there, but I can't stay for long. I can stay just long enough to meet and greet, then I gotta be back by... I forgot, I think it was nine. But I'll certainly be there.
-
Ladies and gentlemen,
This is a reminder that you have less than two weeks to sign up. I believe everyone who fit our criteria and signed up has access to the secret forum with more information.
If you want to come, let us know now, decide soon.
-
I suppose this would probably be the time then to confirm that due to various "baaaaw, poor me" family/hospital related woes, I need to sit this one out unfortunately. :/
-
I'm sorry but I can't come now since my mum is just worried about me going to London
-
I'm sure you all guessed it, but I cant go anymore... Left it too late to ask and I've been busy working... So sorry =<
-
This is a gentle reminder that you've got a few days left to sign up. You should be able to make any required arrangements by now, if you haven't yet. A "I'll do it later" no longer applies :)
-
So... Which one of you guyz are gonna stop by Danishland and pick me up for the meet?
.. <3
-
I can't make it *crys* I really wanted to go but it's so far and I wont be able to go oh...maybe next year i'll be older so I might make it. ;)
-
Damn, once again a PKMN meet where I am turned away because of my age. Oh well at least this time I knew what to expect so I didn't bother the admins and just counted myself out. Hope soon we can have a meet where I can actually join in. I guess it's good I found out 5 days late as well because now I have no time to argue. Hope all who are going have fun. <3
