Understandably meets can be nerve racking, especially when not knowing anyone/not met before, I travelled 3 hours each way to Liverpool to meet peeps for the first time for a short afternoon meet. I have to say I'm very glad I did, after the first initial hellos we were all chatting away, finding common ground and everyone was friendly and approachable. We had a stroll, went for lunch and chatted. I came away having made friends
Not putting pressure on anyone, just want to reassure. I have it on good authority that the previous Birmingham meet was exactly the same, with several laughs shared (I unfortunately had to drop out of that one following an accident in the family)
Anyone who is nervous arriving we can ensure we meet you and help you feel part of the group. I'd say Saturday is probably better if you're thinking of one day without an overnight stay xx
