*Where in Europe Would You Travel for a WP Meet?*

Post Reply New Topic

This is a poll for WP members who live in Europe, or in the neighbourhood, and would like a WP get-together of a few days.

Please vote for the place in Europe that you would most like to travel to for a small WP gathering, ( 5 - 10 - perhaps 15 people ), for a few days sometime between April and October.

A very difficult decision.

Anywhere? Well, so long as there were at least 20 people from WP I would go to most of those places, but if it's only going to be a few I would probably stick to the south of France.

.

A very difficult decision! I'd be happy with any of them, really.

I opted to go for something central to make it easier for everybody. What are the odds that nobody else picks the same one and I end up there all by myself???

I wonder whether there will be a clear favourite, or if it will be so scattered it will come down to basic questions of funds, dates available, and when most people would be free at the same time.

The poll about "when" people could travel, anywhere in Europe is at:

and Greentea's thread, that started all this off, is at:

:lol:

I put London, it's highly unlikely that I'd have a hope in hell of being allowed to travel outside the country for this. It blows being 13.

Im happy with anywhere really as I am prepared to make some effort to do this.

I think we should opt for south of france though

If I had the money I'd probably choose London.

I don't really even want to go to Europe in the first place.

Sorry, my OP isn't very clear; the poll is intended for members of WP who live in Europe, ( unless very enthusiastic/rich/adventurous people elsewhere are interested; in which case you would be very welcome to come ). I will edit that. Thanks.

this should be multiple choice

I agree, but I don't know how to do that on WP, or even if you can, so this is just to get an idea about what people's general favourites for a location would be.

.

And London races into an early lead......amongst those who have no intention of actually going, unfortunately

I'm glad at least a few people have shown some interest now.

Ok. Here it is!

[ Quote ouinon !] "I wanted to ask actually whether you, or anyone else, had ever been to the central part of Southern France? It's full of roman ruins, and lots of little cafés in small squares with platane ( lime? ) trees, and little lizards on walls in the summer, and people drink pastis/ricards, and play bowls, and the pace of life is slower, and there are tiny round goat's cheeses to eat with fresh tomatoes and tapenade, ( olive paste ), and cheap wines, and there are the hills leading to mountains on either side of the huge Rhone river, through the gorges and ravines of the Ardeche towards the West, and through the fields with goats and poppies and olive trees towards the Alps on the Eastern side.

In July there is the Festival of Avignon, with almost constant, ( and free ), street theatre/art, and also performances, ( that you have to pay for though ), in the grand 12th century Pope's Palace, and other beautiful buildings, for two to three weeks, ( from the 4th to the 26th July )."

There you are. I copied it!

I guess this forum does not have a multiple option poll function. Oh well.

I usually spend a few days in London during August and hope to be there from Saturday 15th August this year, returning home on Thursday 20th. I actually fly to London on Tuesday 11th but I may be proceeding to Belgium on the Eurostar for a few days before spending the rest of my holiday in London. Just on the off-chance that I'm around at the same time as the majority choice of date, I think I would be interested in meeting up with a few Wrong Planetlings.
