I know this is a bit early, but it seems an idea to look ahead to next year, even with just some preliminary ideas, for Escapism UK 2010. And the first thing we need to figure out is location.
Looking at the thoughts in the other threads it seems that a lot of people are rooting for the next one to be somewhere up North, and I certainly agree that it would be unfair to be doing it constantly in the South, thus finanicially discriminating against those coming from the North/Scotland, and I also think that it should probably be somewhere other than London for a bit of variety in our activities.
Therefore I have created this poll to try and decide where we should have the next big UK Escapist meet. I've picked cities at roughly the same interval down the spine of England, or I've seen suggested, but if you have any other suggestions please say so.
I personally would be very happy to be involved in the organisation, as I feel I kind of have a point to prove after this year, and also I want to get some experience in organising big events, especially in this particular circumstance where we can only really contact each other on here. For me, personally, I'd choose Oxford, because I know the place well, plus I already have a couple of comprehensive plans for a 3 day weekend, if it is chosen
However, I am perfectly happy to help organise the event wherever it may be taking place, though obviously having someone who lives near or knows the area would be a much better judge of what to do/where to stay etc.
