Thanks for the pics Kas, and when do we get to see your ugly mug?
Its nice to put some faces to the names, Gazza looks exactly as I imagined him http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. Wish I coulda been there and glad y'all had a good time.
I think we should do the next meeting in Las Vegas, which is probably the cheapest place to travel to globally.
Keep em coming.

Please post some more in this thread, tis linked to from the mainpage http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif.
I'll post more pictures as soon as I get them , but I can tell you something about the meeting to bridge that...my story.
I visited the Elite meeting in Cologne Februari 2002 and organised the The Hague meeting in September 2002. Not necessary to say I really like those meetings.
We spend a lot of time on the battlefield, in the foyer, on forums and on MSN together...many of us for years now. Some of us even share bits and pieces of our private lives...joys, but also mishaps. For me it's only natural to meet those people face to face. When I heard Yoguish was planning a UK meeting I decided instantly to attend it. A 55 minutes flight from Amsterdam to Liverpool was within reach (and budget).
I booked a room in the hotel most others would stay and when I heard about the messed up UK public transport system...an early flight.
I had to travel to a place called Wigan. Blade who travelled from Brussels to Manchester also had to travel to Wigan, where we should wait in a pub for Scar and Druid to pick us up.
I arrived at John Lennon Airport at 10 am, took a bus to Lime Street Station and found my train to Wigan. I started to worry about being too early, because things went rather well, but I ran out of luck when the train stopped in the middle of nowhere. Sorry and good luck...bye http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
Took me 3 busses and 3 hours to travel the last 20 miles to Wigan.
Still far to early...I arrived at Wigan and found the pub where I should meet Blade...no Blade. 2 hours later (burp) still no Blade. (Ah well...he lost his way in the Hague also http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
At 15:30 Druid gave me a phone call to tell me he and Scar where waiting outside the pub for us (err...no Blade yet).
I walked outside and bumped straight into them. "Are you Kas?".."Yup, I'm Kas" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Scar with her bear like motherly instinct sort of paniced when she heard Blade was still in limbo. We checked both railway stations...just when we decided to declare him MIA he showed up. Scar...who already started to chain smoke to avoid a nervous melt down...was releaved of her sorrows.
We went to Druid's car and drove of to Blackpool. We arrived at the hotel at 5:30pm....a very nice typical brittish family hotel. On the way to my room I noticed a charming young lady with a nervous smile passing me in a hurry (could that be Yoguish?).

This is off topic, but I'm willing to say something about that...
Yes...I am glad they didn't delete it, but understand things happened in the past inhere. There is no need to explain it all again, but many made mistakes (understatement) and I still think things can change for the better inhere...I was upset about how things evolved and perhaps I overreacted (perhaps not). The reason I'm back at the Org is simple...I don't like the Net.
Ok...shoot me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

Heh ok I'll number those picki's so it's easier to refer to them.
Anyhow, my travelling was much better than Kas' http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Hopped onto train at 1:30pm, cross-country travelling switched at Stockport, arrived in Blackpool 6:45pm. Took 5 hours when it should have taken 4, but not complaining really http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Walked straight to hotel from station, an achievement since I've never been to Blackpool. Did ask once for directions and only confirmed I was going the right way... arrived at Hotel 7pm, got a taxi from there straight to the restaurant and got in for 7:30pm almost on the dot.
Walked in nervously and asked for the TW Meeting (as we were told to do) Got more nervous when the guy said, "Sorry I don't know what you mean, I'll ask the manager." Luckily he came back and showed me the table, but I'd already recognised Kas from the last meeting, and ho, sat opposite is Blade...and the others sat around on a couple different tables. Turns out I walked right behind Karsh and Drakul at the bar http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Well, anyway that reminds me - Blade I owe you a drink http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Thanks for sharing all the pictures.
BTW, was it just a dinner/meeting or was there any other activities, i.e., visiting museum, castle, battlefield, etc.)? How long did the meeting last?
Basicly a dinner meeting...most of us gathered in the hotel bar before it though....and after it also btw http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Next morning Druid, Scar (promoted to full 7Bear7 now btw), Blade, Yoguish, Gazza and me walked the Golden Mile (don't ask me why they call it "Golden" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif ) did some shopping. Scar and Druid gave Gazza a lift to the station, Blade and me got a lift from Yoguish mum to our airports. The meeting was way too short and it was a pitty many didn't show up (again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif )Ah well...can't talk to 30 people anyway...it was small but still a huge success...we all enjoyed ourselves...and that's most important.
The next meeting will be different though...more details soon.
