@barefoot could I ask a favour of you please. Could you contact a few B&Bs and the travel lodge and enquire about prices per night as several members have intimated that they may wish to stay overnight due to travelling times ??

OK. Time to start firming up venue and date.
It seems unanimous that Reading and a Wetherspoons are favourite across the board. Also a Saturday is the preferred day of the week.
So far we have the following members as confirmed attending,
@Mr Laurie
@Anarchy
@Berlinda
@barefoot
@SwordsPandaGirl
@Blackjack
@Sandstone (yet to confirm)
@illusionist (yet to confirm)
if any other UK members wish to attend please just let me know either on here, via private conversation or any of my contact details a few posts above.

How about either Saturday 11 June or Saturday 25 June?
If people want to go to a Weatherspoons, I suggest The Monk's Retreat - I think it's probably the nicest of the three Weatherspoons in Reading town centre. It's an easy, short (5 mins) walk from the train station. It's next door to the back entrance to Marks & Spencer, so if you get lost, ask anyone to point you in the direction of M&S and you're sure to find it.
In terms of hotels, I'm really phone-phobic, so don't really feel up to ringing round lots of places. I think it will really stress me out. Sorry! I reckon the info is probably all available online but it will be difficult to get an accurate quote without certain info eg date, whether you want to be able to cancel it or are willing to go with non-refundable, whether you want a single or double room, whether you want breakfast included or not etc...
Typically, when I've stayed on a Saturday night without any offers on, Ibis/premier inn/travelodge etc have been around £50+ on a saver rate (ie if you cancel, you won't get a refund) and without breakfast.

Oh that's a pity @illusionist
Any chance you can Uber instead of tube?? I've only used them a couple of times but the service was good and they're so much cheaper than other cabs.

Dear fellow UK members. I respectfully request that we postpone our get together for at least six weeks, possibly two moths as my health has taken a bad turn in recent weeks.
As many will know because of my trauma history I have been a dependant alcoholic for nearly twenty one years, as a result I have been diagnosed with, epilepsy, heart problems ( tachycardia ) and have suffered numerous strokes.
As a result I have had a major seizure last week and am injured now to the point tat I am unable to travel alone, as I have no one to travel with me for my own safety and my seventy one year old mother is not well enough herself to accompany me.
As I have no carer apart from Mum( who I must live with as it could prove fatal for me to even travel alone these days).
I wish to request, if possible that we postpone our get together for a few weeks, months due to my health issues please.
I do not want to cancel this as I feel personally these meetings are extremely important in aiding a single member in their personal recovery journey.
If interested members could please respond to this thread I need to know if they are happy to postpone, or if there is another member happy to take over the organisation of this meeting ???
