Soapboards Meet

Rimmer, Chloe O'Brien, Luna and I met up back in November 2005.

I think that that was the first documented Soapboards meet.

It was great putting faces to the names - and they are all great people

Please everyone remember internet safety rules when meeting people you don't know off the internet for the first time.

Meet in a public place

Tell someone about the meeting

Go with a friend initially if you feel safer.

Just be sensible really, you may speak to a person on line a lot, but not everyone is honest about who they are or their motives.

Be safe.

x

Thanks for the advice I wondered if these meets were a regular thing that happened as from seeing people post everyone seems so closely bonded.

No, there's only been one meet.

We talk about it a lot but never get round to organising it :p Quite a few of us live in the same areas so it wouldn't be a major drama trying to organise it. Its just finding time.

Lucky you I feel like I am the only one on here from my area!

Yeah Id love to meet some people but I dont think we can ever make up our minds

I still have no idea if people want to meet up this summer?

How long have you been trying to arrange the meet for?
Is everyones schedule very busy? people going off for the summer?

:lol: me? for like forever?

yeah we thought that, and thought that there would be a bit in the summer where people would be free

I am free all summer. If anyone wants to meet me, then feel free... :D

did we agree on cardiff?

Yup, I think we all did.

I think I'm going to have to wait until I'm in Uni until I come to a meetup :/

yeah it will take 2hr 30 mins - 3 hrs to get there on the train

why where are you?

London, but my parents don't know about SB, and they like to know where I am. They'd ask too many questions and they'd probably say no. I know you've got to be careful meeting people off the net, but I'm 18, I'm responsible, and I highly doubt you are all a bunch of kidnappers or murderers etc so I don't think I've got much to worry about meeting you lot. :lol: :p

Your not too far from me!

Small world! :D

:ninja:

I trust you all, I have quite a few of you on facebook. I've seen the pictures of you drunk, out with friends etc so I know you're not going to kidnap me.

I'm in Newcastle over the summer so I probably won't be able to get to Cardiff without paying a rdiculous amount for a train ticket.

September is when I'll be able to get to Cardiff. I'll be back at uni by then so it won't take long. I'm only about 40mins from Abbie on the train down there.

Very small world!

lol why have we never met up Abigail? :lol:


you see im going to exeter so I dont know then depends where we can meet and stuff.

And in the summer if I pop up to sunderland to visit my gran I could meet up with people who live up that way, I can do newcastle very easily?

Newcastle to Cardff is 80 quid return (~6hrs). Stoke to Cardiff is 35 (~3hrs)

I don't actually know :rotfl: You're only 20mins by road.

It's random how we compare weather on here yet haven't met up.

You can get to me on the Metro from Sunderland. Change at Monument or Newcastle Central. Not sure how long it takes. From me its about 30mins into Central.

I usually get off at Momument to go shopping :p
lol well I will be going up there at some point just dont know when

lol! and the thing is I would say we can meet up when you come down to uni but this time I will be going to uni even further down south!

When are you going to uni? I can move in from 1st September but don't start until 24th. I have no idea when I'm moving back. Might pop down to see a friend near Coventry over the summer.

Everytime I go through your train station I always think of you and how close we are logistically.

awww lol, you go through crewe? its a sh*thole! thank god I dont live there I live in a small town next to it.

Im going for the 21st I think

Unfortunately yes. The trains are dirty and horrible. They've redone the station though, looks much better than September last year.

yeah I still think the train station is a mess
at least the virgin tarins are better

I must be thinking of a different station then. I've been through so many I lose track of which is which.

Train stations in the north are much prettier than the midlands.

which train station are you thinking of?

id love to go to cardiff but dunno if its too far? although ive just looked and on the train it would only take 4hrs and would only cost £28 if i booked in advance (would be about £70/£80 otherwise!) so i suppose thats not bad! dunno if its too far for a day though. plus id have to go when im back in canterbury as my mum would wonder why i was going to cardiff otherwise just for a day lol!

You see if I do end up in exeter I could meet up in london or plays like bristol and stuff

I'm up for a meetup anywhere up northish (e.g. midlands, yorkshire)

I can get to Cardiff for £7 and that's without a railcard which I should be getting soon. So as long as my mum agrees, count me in. And if she would be happier that she came to make sure that I got off the train in the right place or anything then it wouldn't break the bank.. so hopefully :D

Hmmmm anyone still want to meet up ? :p Like I dunno, next month maybe lmao :p I get paid Thurs, so have the money and really wanna do something :p. Cardiff maybe?

I dunno... if any of you fancy it/can afford it... then replyyyyyyyy :p xxx

I can't next month. Would be great but I haven't got time really :(

Awww :( Shame :(. Anyone else?

I am willing to go a bit further.. so long as it doesn't cost too much.. preferably somewhere where I wouldn't have to get accommodation.. but I'm open to suggestions, if there's a few people elsewhere who want to do it?

I can! I mean cardiff will take me 3 hours though but when exactly?

I was thinking about this earlier as I'm on school holiday now. My mum said it was ok when I asked her about it a while back.

Yay :D. Well I can do any time next month apart from next week :p.

Lol well Im on holiday sooon AND I have a dance show in septmeber so it might have to be before then?

I can't do the 20th as that's results day and a couple of days next week.
