Hello lovely people!

Hello, this is a thread copied over from 3.1. I have updated the list of people we know who are in the UK. The idea now is to get us all in a group chat on facebook or Discord and see if we can plan something from there. My name is Ailsa Philomel Black on facebook, if you are not friends with me yet ... why not?

I have proposed this idea in the past, but it never fully came to fruition. The best that has really come out if it is yours truly meeting up with Chris (Shinsou) and creating a friendship there. But I have met Mr Gnarl, and since his new wife (congratulations guys again) is somewhat around, and there are other Althanians in the UK ... Well.

Firstly, if you are in the UK, or able to easily get to the UK (i.e. the rest of Europe) comment below.

Secondly, if you are interested in having a giant meet up, comment below also.

4.0 update: if you commented on the last and you want to come, you don't need to comment if you don't want to :P

What I am going to suggest is all of us going to a convention or other. I work at a fair few around the country, demonstrating board games, and I know there is the Glasgow MCM Comicon coming up in September.

I will be building a list as below of folk I know who are in the UK. And in the RoI because it is pretty close. I know you guys are still part of the EU and we are not, thanks to a few silly people, but we love you.

People in the UK:

Scotland:
Twitch (Aurelianus) - Central
Callum - usually central
Ailsa (Philomel, me) - Glasgow
Gordon (Grumble, my husband) - Glasgow
Flames - Edinburgh

England:
Chris (Shinsou can Osiris) - Manchester
David (Gnarl and Root) - Manchester
Sage - Manchester

Ireland (Republic and Northern):

Wales:
Cyd (Mord) - Cardiff
