**UPDATE**
Although some cold drinks will be available on the day
The weather is set to be very hot that week-end, please remember to bring plenty of water with you.
Here it is folks the one you have all been waiting for.
The official 2015 Megga-meet thread.
Following the huge success of the 2014 one,
Yvonne and I have started to make arrangements for 2015.
Having listening to a few comments, from you the members,
this year will be even more orientated towards member participation.
There will be no formal lectures, but
more practical things to take part in,
but also lots of help will available on the days,
should anyone need "tips or tricks"
The time and the place.
Sat. the 6th and Sunday the 7th June.
10:00-17:00
(Doors open for "Exhibitors" only at 9am To allow them "setting up time")
The location is the same as last years,
Whipsnade village hall LU6 2LG
Just a few short miles from M1 J9
Unfortunately, there is a slight price increase this year ( Due to the hall hire cost increasing)
Its now £10 for one day or £15 for both days.
You can apply for tickets by following the instructions at the end of this post.
There is a list of local accommodation HERE should you need it.
The Venue is just a few hundred yards from the the world renowned ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
Other Local attractions include a Tree Cathedral, 100yrds from the hall,
an open working farm a few miles North, up the A5, for those with children,
(Should you decide to sell them in to slavery),
A very pretty village church 200yrs away and the fabulous Dunstable Downs are a short drive away.
The hall itself is set within a copse of trees in open countryside
with only a few village houses in the immediate vicinity,
quiet and photogenic. Last years visitors will no doubt vouch for the location.
An updated list of activities
Paul and Bazzle will be there with the reptiles, / Amphibians.
I'll be there with a couple of Birds of prey.
Yvonne will be doing pet portraits (Dogs)
Tori_T will be there with loads of lego and cups for cupography
Bryn is doing a start up guide to macro Tips and tricks (mostly practical).
The film guys will be there in force trying to convert the digital guys
Have a play and see what you think, of their efforts for world domination.
Off camera flash (People) with Bernie Raffe
And of course snacks, rolls and drinks will be available,
during the day, thanks to Ruth (Viv1969)
who again has agreed to be chief cook and bottle washer.
If there is anything else specific you would like to see or do,
Please contact either Yvonne (Yv) or myself (Chris) and we will see what we can do.
THIS THREAD should give you an idea of what everyone got up to last year, so don't miss your chance to join in the fun in 2015
