Weekends would be better for me, purely because of university

okay so we're looking at the weekend of Saturday 13th September then?

do we want it to be friday and saturday? Or saturday and sunday? (Im suggesting we do the main activities one day so that those that aren't staying over won't be missing out)

I'm thinking we could do a day like...

- meet in the center of blackpool (probably blackpool north train station) as early as possible (can you all please check the earliest you can arrive in blackpool asap!)
- If we can meet in town at 10am then we might be able to sneak in a visit to the sealife center en route to the next bit (if not we could do it on the 'short' day as a treat for those staying over.)
- Spend like 5 hours at the pleasure beach
- Go for a walk on the beach and possibly pose in our tails for photos
- Head back to the hotel and tail-swim in the pool before the light fails, this way we'd only need to book the pool for a few hours later in the day

(this plan works better if we do this on the saturday and have the 'short' day on the sunday or do everything on the friday with the short day on the saturday)

Sia- I get sent to Scotland for work :-) my best friend lives in Glasgow so I'm always happy when I get sent there!!

Arghh September is out for me as I'm going on holiday with the boyfriend :-( I couldn't afford two breaks or time off in one month. I'll let you know though if anything changes, work should sent me to Blackpool!!

[SummerRogue]

I don't know whether I could make it It depends on whether I get a dealer table at mcm glasgow or not. I wouldn't have any money otherwise

[Mermaid Mhara]

Oh my gosh I so wanna come! I'm going to try my hardest

[Vixy]

I would really like to come but I know I'll be running around a campsite/forest one weekend dressed like something from a Persian or Arabian Knights fantasy novel.

Would early october be better for everyone?

[Kamanaka]

Early October works for me :-)

[Mermaid Lilium]

any other votes for a weekend in early october? Vaughan? Vixy? Sia? Summer?

mum is getting me a printout of what dates and times the park is open this year cause it changes as it gets towards november when the park shuts.

Also, there's a huge dancing fountain on the park. Would anyone be up for posing in mer gear in front of the fountains as a group? We can give a copy to the PR team cause I'm sure they'd love that for their facebook page =) We might even be able to swing a photo op of getting us in mer gear on the kids log flume but i'd have to talk to park ops about them doing a risk assessment lol they probably would have to pose without the ride running or something, or just a shot with accessories and no tails, just leggings or something haha

I will be going to scout these things out when I'm on the park for something else in july =)

[Mermaid Mhara]

I'm up for any date!!

OH MY GOSH THAT FOUNTAIN YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES MERMAIDS NEXT TO THE FOUNTAIN. IN BLACKPOOL. YES YES YES.

I was a major Blackpool holiday goer growing up haha :')
Sad I had to stop going, makes me want to come even more this year!!!

Are we also planning a bigger more structured one in a certain location with maybe talks and such for next year?

We'll get this one out of the way and see how it goes, but I would be hoping to plan something like that for next year x

I can do Saturday or Sunday in October, most likely just the Sunday because of my new job but this sounds brilliant! I might just pull a sickie and stay over ;D

Any time from August onwards works for me, September or October would be really good, I'll keep an eye on this thread!
I don't have a tail though, or even a monofin yet, but I'd still love to come along to a mini MerFest. I'm really excited for this already!

[Mermaid Mhara]

Don't worry! All you need to be is a Mermaid at heart hehe ^_^

How many of us is that deffo coming now? I count about 5, any other takers? I'm so excited already!! hehehe

[Mermaid Melanie]

hey guys for those who are in the south east, like I said I was going to be, I'm heading down to london on the train tomorrow, arriving about 3.30 in shoreditch and leaving at 7pm on thursday.

I will be busy during the day tuesday and busy wednesday morning til the exhibition is all finished being set up and then it's the private view Wednesday night from 6pm at the Brick lane gallery (you're more than welcome to attend, no ticket or invite required!) The exhibition is then open to the public thursday - saturday evening. =)

I'm free to meet up with people other than those times I mentioned i'll be busy, and I'd really love to meet some of you, especially if you know cheap but great places to grab dinner in london ;D. Going to be having a touristy day on thursday before I leave and maybe a little tomorrow once I get my case to the hotel in case anyone local wants to play tourguide to show me cool places that aren't neccessarily the obvious tourist places!

If anyone wants to meet up my mobile number is 07789 957017 and my personal facebook is www.facebook.com/stargirlphotography
I will be able to check my email and facebook via my phone but probably won't be able to see MN msgs and replies as i'm almost certain that the wifi in the hotel will be expensive (easyjet's hotels so you can imagine LOL)

[Jadestone]

I will in the US for August, but hopefully back in England sometime in September/October--if I'm here in time, I'd love to join a meetup! I won't know my return date for sure until closer to september, so don't factor me into planning--I'm more likely to make it if it's later in the year, but since it's unsure as of yet I don't want to mess anything up, haha.

Hey guys! I have been totally absent, we are into our busy summer season at Merlesque so apologies! But if any UK mers are interested, there is a big mermaiding weekend coming up - there's the Folkestone Mermaid Festival on the 19th - 20th July down on the South coast and also on the 20th July one of the Merlesque mermaids is appearing at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire, for those of you who are a little further north! More details on our facebook page and blog - www.realmermaids.co.uk/blog (there's also a voucher for £3 off tickets to the Blue Planet Aquarium on Sunday if you're interested).

If you're coming to the Folkestone Mermaid Festival, check out the main stage at 7pm when we'll be performing our comedy mermaid cabaret act, with alternative takes on some well known mermaid songs
