LONDON MEET 2008
« on: May 08, 2008, 16:02 »
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)

I'm sorry, but it won't be. It simply wouldn't work out for everyone.

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...

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.

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
