Hi folks!

Just had a brilliant time at the meet, getting on for 40 people there and all wonderful!

Ok, most of you haven't a clue who I am, I am from UKV where I met Alan, he took me under his wing at the last SE meet, then there was Vapefest where I met Julie, and tonight I got a lift home in the Dolly bus - so, so kind of her. Sorry if I seem to be gushing but I'm just soooooo pleased to be a part of this wonderful vaping community, and thanks so much to Alan for arranging the meet, it was da dogz!

It was lovely to meet you twiglet and you are very welcome to a seat in the Dolly bus any time. So nice to see yourself and several other new ladies attending. Can't remember all the names but Lisa and partner and Saturnaelia I remember. Lovely to see you all.

I am very grateful to Alan for keeping his snot to himself and not spreading his germs by making the girls endure his snogging antics!!

millerkev wins the prize for the best dressed northerner

So sorry that Bluefish and beautycat couldn't come. I did miss you both.

We are getting to the point where we are becoming a victim of our own success. So many people coming now we are outgrowing the pub!

I had such a great time as always. We are such a nice bunch aren't we?

[beautycat]

Glad you all enjoyed it, did they have a raffle?

Yes, we had a raffle, but as usual I won nothing lol

The only winner I remember was Jon the new guy who came in the Dolly bus. He won juices.

[Phoenixflame (Julie)]

Ash also won a prize in the raffle and so did John the photographer, and Phil, he picked out his own name ! Also someone who I hadn't met before, I think his name was Andy.  

For anyone who doesn't come to the meets I want to point out that we don't ever have to pay for raffle tickets, everyone who is at the meets name goes into a hat. igottheremedy would you please pass on my thanks and appreciation to ukecig store for doing this for us.

One of the best bits is that every meet we seem to get a few interested people,from the time I walked in,I instantly got talking to someone because I wore my football teams top and a voice came over from the bar saying "your a Palace fan so am I" I then sat down near him and his wife and they soon asked where they could get a e gig for their 30 a day smoking son,even the bar manager asked as his father was a heavy smoker,so a couple of interesting conversations were had and hopefully a couple of people helped,

Think I must ask our sponsor igottheremedy for a few starter packs to take on my travels,then I must get down to the shop in Wembley to pick up my Provari soon (by the way missed Atif last night,good to meet more of your staff though)

In the pipeline now,Mini meet sometime at UKe cig store,their shop sounds like its coming along great with a juice bar being put in and customers coming in from dawn too dusk,I also want 4-6 Vendors too take too Sutton where we had world vaping day as he has a large marque suitable for a mini fest and of course we will be back as usual in six weeks time.

The big one is still in the pipeline too and Uke cig store are slightly ahead of me now working on this,but we might pull it off yet

Once again BIG THANKS too all that came,you guys keep this interesting and exciting for me and that makes organizing this one of the nicest jobs around.

A great night as always........& as Alan said, we also created quite a bit of interest from other punters in the bar.......It's a small world .....I was approached mid "pointing Percy at the porcelain" in the gents, by a really nice guy by the name of Tony.....Transpires he's a member on the forum & was having a beer with his girlfriend & noticed us all vaping. He has only posted occasionally, but I managed to tempt him over to our little crowd & everyone made him welcome & gave him plenty of advice & encouragement. Hopefully, we'll be hearing a lot more from him now & also see him at the meets. A special thank you to our sponsors, UKe-cig for their very kind gesture towards me....I'll let you know my thoughts guys.......The female contingent is gradually taking over us boys & it's great to see, especially members from other forums who joined us......It was also a chance to meet up with past members...Cheers Ash & you remained surprisingly vertical.........Thanks for all your help & advice blakey & for the atty........& of course, Alan, for all his hard work.............my head hurts.................

Thanks for a great night all. Was lovely to meet you. Thought I had all that I needed vaping wise but after seeing a Microstick in the flesh I really really need one
Looking forward to the next meet already

[Saturnalia]

Thank you everyone for a great night out!

I didn't know anyone beforehand, but the drink was flowing, the juice was vaping and everyone was so nice and interesting and fun that I felt like I was among friends in no time. Big thanks to Phoenixflame (Julie) (Julie) who took me under her wing and introduced me to everybody.

I now have serious mod envy though, I got to see some seriously cool pieces of kit and some very impressive vape clouds being made! I forget who it was who had the Aurora, and who had the squeezy tank? And Blakey's silver matchbox style mod was just gorgeous.

I'm looking forward to the next do already.

[Pam O]

Sounds like you all had a great meet, sadly I couldn't make it this time, maybe next.
