Alcohol before bowling. That should be interesting

Do they provide helmets in leisureplex?

More came to the bowling than the poll suggested. Very rare. Usually only half if even less turn out after voting!

Karaoke Night (just to keep itsallabouttheL happy :P)

I was amazed. at first glance when I rocked in I thought ye must be down the other end, thinking there'd never be that many!

Perhaps times are changing, maybe a lot of people want to expand their social circle - I know I certainly do.

+1 there is less of a stigma attached to meeting "peoples off da internet"! I wil defo show my face at the next boards beers

That's one of the reasons I would be slow to go to one. Defo a stigma attached still.

I don't agree with that at all. The internet is such a big part of everyday life now I think the "stigma" of meeting people you only know from it has disappeared.
I woul have agreed with you a few years back but not now. It was my first time at a boards meet up and I'm glad I went. It was great to finally put names to faces.

corkcomp

Karaoke Night (just to keep itsallabouttheL happy :P)

would agree there, and once ya meet up with folks once the internet thing isnt an issue then. id be slightly apprehensive about meeting a big group of strangers, the fact that they are from boards wouldnt bother me:D anyway, what better way to get to know people that over copious a few beers

Yeah, dunno though, as I said it is a factor that would make me slow to go. Although I was considering driving to Portugal for a Rover Coupe meet with lads off a Rover forum, I didn't feel any stigma with that

Oh please, this is 2010, not 1910! So are you saying myself and the people I met last night are weirdo's? Because nothing could be further from the truth - everyone, even possibly me (!), are normal, everyday human beings. Come to the next meet-up - you'll have a great time!

NoDice

I'd also be slow to go! I keep thinking sure fcuk it I'm going but keeping backing out last minute.
