Right, in agreement with our leader (GR) i am asking everyone purchasing or considering the purchase of a forum t-shirt to add to this with a view to a meet up at an event.
so what we need if interested is.
[ul][*]Area of residence, (rough area if worried, however from looking at the romance thread that wouldnt be a problem).
[*]Ability and willingness to travel, i.e. what area would suit best.
[*]What events you have entered, to give a guide of the best time.[/ul]
Send it through and ill try to sort something out, we could have guest inputs from our busier members!
Me first, Im based Windsor way
Id travel anywhere
And im doing Eton 17/05, Blenhiem 06/06, Windsor 14/06, Steelman 05/07, Antwerp 70.3 02/08 and hopefully club relay 22/08.

Surrey based (near Epsom)
Pretty mobile
Doing Eton Super Sprint (16/4) Banana Man (12/7) London OD, HSBC Charity one in September (swimming relay leg)
We could have a few fund raiser's.......auctions, raffles etc. And of course, the awards, for most embarrassing disaster during a race, most shameful excuse…….etc…I’m sure we could think of more.
.....given our schedules and stuff, i'm wondering if an end of season bash might work?
Willingness to travel --- Anywhere, just depends on day etc.

I suppose travel isnt an issue but performance maybe! Let me get my first under my belt in around 10 days I will know.
So doing......
Wellington sprint 16th may
Langport sprint september.
About 2.30 hours for the likes of me, i'm game, expecially like the free entry bit.
Is there a camp site close, now that would be a laugh.
Or entrie fees go to team laws?
Loving the sound of the forum buddies charity meet, but just wondering if I can get a freedom pass from the wife. Used up a few freedom points already this year.
That sounds like a plan. Would be up for that.
In the words of the immortal hannibal and the A-Team,
I just love it when a plan comes together....
The London Duathlon might be another option, the weekend before, for those that aren't doing Bala - surely IMG would do a charity deal there, too?
Obviously willing to travel to meet you all.
Oh, what the heck, I only live 15 miles up the road so count me in anyway - I can always crawl round!
Would be a right giggle
Can i swim in my mankinee
As I've been training for the MD (this caused all the 220 boys to beat me recently in the sprint in Lichfield!! I would of won if I'd been training for this distance!!) I need to complete this event..
Could we do another event weekend? or perhaps orgainse another date and a 220 only race? something currently outside of our calenders?
Otherwise I thinks it's a bloody good idea.

But in a previous thread (or email!) I committed to Mr C'head's "Forum Wave" on 20th September in Stafford. That pledge still holds.
I'm not (unless I make miraculous progress) not planning any events until September (except for some cycling TTs that is). It will take me til September to learn to swim well enough, and I'm hanging up my running shoes until I've had no pain for a month.
I might well come and spectate though (at any events prior to September) - Ironman UK for example as it is only 40 mins drive away.
