Hey, who around the middle and northern regions of the UK (ofcourse anyone else too but it might be too far to travel) would be up for a mini meet of boxes and food/beers ? If we can't share our love for boxes and the ones we have, what can we do ?

count me in DOCS, i am willing to trave anything up to 50 miles or so for something like this, come on guys lets get this one signed and sealed, it would be a blast

can't understand why there's no interest, if this was USA im sure there would be, seems like us UK guys don't have the passion for things like this, (shame) come on guys surely you gotta want something like this

Indeed LL, makes me wonder...

sorry lads but im at the dentist

Feels like pulling teeth with UK members. There just isn't the passion.

i think it;s a real shame we can't organise this meet up, seems people just can't be arsed these days

I'd be up for it, but I'm based in sarf Lahndan...

Well iso, it'd be great to meet you if you could make it. I'm sure we could put you up for a night

Sounds a blast count me in work permitting

a lot of the uk people are down south, i can get to france and back several times in the time it takes to get to manchester etc

there's always a way round it, we could have it in the midlands, or we could do 2 meets, one for north, and one for south, like DOCS says, im sure we could accommodate come on guys lets sort it, it would be fab

i really thought this post would get a lot more interest how many UK members is there on here??
how much interest as this post had...hardly any surely if we all pull together we can sort a great box meet up, this spring/summer would be fab

Lav Loo you forgot the price of juice in rip of Britain, it would be around £120 in my Vdub van.

35p a liter in Morocco, Up the revolution!

sorry to see your effort for this meet go to waste lav, from past experiences meetings are great, not only do you finally get to see for the first time your fellow members but you get to know them personally, and who knows but you could be come really good friends after that.

by the way i just notice you are the new MOD. when did that happened? good for you lav

ye it's a real shame DT, i have been wanting a meet for a good while now, maybe i should vacate to the US
oh and the mod thing, ye i was put forward for it a while back, and today i receive the job

hahaha just be nice to people and you'l go along way,

hey what you saying here...im always nice to people

Yeh shame we could'nt arrange something, I guess theres just not enough love.

why dont you lot come down south, meet half way like to london or somewhere? sorted!

it's possible ANDY, lets get the ball rollin then

3pm may 8th trafalgar sq.


thats the date, get your D cells charged!

trafalgar square, bang slap in the heart of london city
how about piccadilly gardens right in the heart of manchester, i could hop on the bus and be there in half an hour

hey guys where ever you guys end up having it, remember to take tons of pics and videos.

well if we can sort something for a meet DT, i promise to get tons of pics
but to be honest i think there's more chance of knitting fog than organising a meet over here

i would try my best to attend but be down to where when and if i had the reddies atb daz

How about my house lol you could all meet and get to see the rarest m90 in the world lol

hey thats an idea! who else wants to come?

I think the problem with US in the UK is that transport is just so expensive. I know people in the US who have driven from NYC to Florida, just to see someone for a couple of days.

That just would happen here. Train, car or flying; it's all expensive. I'd be willing to attend a meet but at these prices..?

One idea (rubbish it if you will). Chip in (for petrol and rent of a people carrier; send the money to someone like Billy (for example) because he is furthest south; do a pick up in London and Birmingham; then drive on to meet the Northern contingent in Manchester.

Before you shoot this down, remember that our US buddies wouldn't make this sort of thing a problem.

*our US buddies wouldn't make this sort of thing a problem.*

Yes i agree but our US buddies don't have the M23 M25 M6 the M10648etc: to deal with.

Brighton beach would be OK with me!

PS: Nearly forgot WE and the dearest trains fares in Euorpe.

uk is not as enthusiastic as other countries,for a number of reasons..
The costs of travel is ridiculously expensive,the weather is horrible..99.9% of the time its freezing cold,snow,ice,rain,most years the best we get is cloudy and grey to moderate,year after year of being skint,living in crappy grey rainy cold country,it takes away the passion..
And the english are more reserved type folk,well i am anyway,i'm more of a soletery type of fellow..

I think English peopels eat black pudding all day and eat tea

We drink tea!!

I've been to brighton with my boombox a couple of times. Sitting on the beach playing music is a fantastic way to relax.

brighton beach is cool for such a thing! i dunno could just have a couple people meet up near the west pier or something when the weathers good that would be cool.

ill probably take my boxes out more this year so ill be hanging out if anyone wants to join me and call it a meet!

Penge, Billy

Looks like we have a mini, mini meet then guys. When the weather gets better (April, May) I'll PM you both. Any Surrey boys up for it? Isolator42? Bendycat?

I know there is a couple of Londoners on Boomboxery so I'll ask them.

it would be cool if bendycat made an appearance with an old skool bmx too that would be awesome! ill bring a bike as well.
