Update: Date has been picked! The meeting will be held the weekend of August 27th and 28th. Sign-up link can be found below.
Update 2: Official sign-up has been closed. You may still join us but you'll have to organize food and such yourself.
Official sign-up closes Sunday June 5th
After the sign-up is closed you can still come to the meeting, but you will not be calculated in our restaurant booking and goody-bag.
As some of you might have heard on Teamspeak - or seen on the PSDH Facebook - last week (May 5th) we had a small real-life PSDH meeting with a few of our members and guild leaders (me, Nova (+ hubby), Refur, Quget, Shalashia (+friend)). We had a pretty good time and started discussing about doing an other meeting, in the UK so more people have an opportunity to come over.
It would be the great if lots of people could join us, we'd first have to determine a date on which everyone is able to come over. I'm thinking a weekend in June, July or August would be the best, so everyone had time to prepare and most of you have summer holiday by then.
I think Gemgenie said we should go to Nottingham,
but I'm not 100% sure about this. Will come back to this later.Yes Nottingham. It's central to the UK. Good transport links (East Midlands airport is local with a bus service straight from the airport to town). Storm and Shiroki both live there, I'm about 30 mins down the main motorway then 20 mins on the tram into town. Good pubs, good food and some history/touristy stuff to do if people want it.
Also has one of the better Rock nightclubs in the country which could appeal to a lot of the Guildies .... we will just tell Novs she has to come lol wink emoticon....but in seriousness it runs 3 rooms with different types of music so there should be something for everyone if we decided to finish the night there. Otherwise we could just hang out round town.
Best of all because it's not "down south" it's a bit cheeper than London
Phase 1 - Please pick the dates on which you are available:

At the end of next week (around the 19th) we'll close the poll and pick the final dates.Phase 2 - Date has been picked! August 27th & 28th!Next up we have to organize a couple of things, like travel and hotel. When you're 100% sure you're coming please post a reply in this thread and also specify with how many. We need to know this so we - later on - can reserve a table somewhere for food and a drink, plus it's nice to know how big the group is going to be.
Even if you didn't participate in the date picking you're still welcome to join us!Since some people have to travel from far and not everyone has a car or their public transport connection is not optimal, I'd like to start a carpooling list.
Post a reply in this thread if:
- you're traveling by car, have some seats left and wouldn't mind a travel buddy
- you want to come but public transport sucks and you're looking for a ride
Please supply the following information:
- What is your starting location?
- How many people (can you take)?
- How far are you willing to travel to pick someone up?

RestaurantWe'll be trying to book a table at
Annies Burger Shack. This place as a big variety of burgers (beef, chicken and veggie), so it should have something for everyone. According to Gem this is a really nice place, the food is good and it's not too expensive.
