Mers from the British Isles!

[Celaeno]

Has anyone been to Pells Pool in Lewes? Do they allow fins?

[Samantha Sleeman]

Though I will add for the sake of southern mers that I met up with Vixy the other day and we were talking about once i've gotten at least one event in blackpool under my belt, that I might organise something in cornwall with her help. When I have the chance and the money I'll be going down there to visit and check out possible locations for it =)

I would like to attend the one in Cornwall as I live near Bristol and would be perfect because I am so jealous of the American meet ups this is exactly the thing I was wishing some one would arrange if wou can do it ;-)

[Celaeno]

I am totally willing to travel anywhere in the UK for a meetup!

Just a reminder for the blackpool event, if you want to come, be sure to add me on fb on my personal page: https://www.facebook.com/stargirlphotography (just msg to say who you are) and i'll accept and then add you to the event page, for some reason it still won't let me set it to public!

[Mermaid Lilium]

actually! Scratch that!

Figured out what I did wrong, I now have a public event listed: https://www.facebook.com/events/1618537451738623/ Feel free to rsvp and invite your friends along too =) If people are needing a place to crash, add my personal fb page and let me know so we can work things out x

[Elvenhaired]

Apparently you don't need to send out friend requests, just type an @ and next to it the name you want to invite I just found it out ahahhaha

Is anyone going to the Folkestone Mermaid Festival this weekend?

[Ondine]

Is anyone going to the Folkestone Mermaid Festival this weekend?

Yes, Merlesque are performing there! We'll be doing our cabaret act and storytelling as well as meet and greet and taking part in the parade

[Celaeno]

I replied to your post on Facebook about it! Missed the Brighton mermaid parade, so I definitely plan on making it to this one!

Hey guyys! I just had a meeting with the head of marketing from the sandcastle waterpark about hiring the pool for september for the meet! WE ARE A GO!!!

we have the choice to hire it for the friday night 8-10pm after our day on the pleasure beach themepark, or on the thursday night for a few hours starting at 4.30pm as they close a bit earlier on the thursday.
(I'm covering hire fees, but if people want to possibly swim both evenings, i'd have to ask for people to chip in like £10 to cover the hire fees for the extra evening, and I'd have to check with the waterpark but I couldn't see it being an issue to use it both nights)

If you're interested in coming, please rsvp on the event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1618537451738623/ and please get sharing the event and invite any mers you may know!

And they're super excited about the idea of it becoming a much larger annual event

[Celaeno]

That's so exciting!!! I wish I were able to make it to this meetup. I really really hope it does become an annual thing, I would so be there next year!

Also just to make people aware of here who might not have seen on fb. The event for the 11th has been postponed til the spring cause no one could make it to this one. It'll be a small UK mer focused meet.

Aaaaand I'm definitely planning a larger event for next September/October. Like a UK merfest. I'm going to be bringing in some guest speakers so if people can start making any requests for who, that would be great

Oo I'd hope to be able to come to Blackpool next year but it depends on how my business is going (my self and my fiancee are setting up a tabletop gaming cafe in Weston-super-mare)
