7th Prestleigh Vape meet poll.

[Roscopecotrain]

Just a quick poll on what people feel they want to do with the meet going forward.
Grow the meet as we go and find a venue that is happy with the cloud chasers and try and have more vendors or sponsors or we keep it to just forum members with no vendors and keep it at the Prestleigh Inn.

I have put some feelers out for other venues but it will incur a charge for the function rooms so bear that in mind peeps.

I will go with the majority on this.

Ross.

I love our Prestleigh meets . . . . the hospitality from Nicola is outstanding, it would be rather sad to not continue enjoying it.

At the same time, having some Vendor input is also enjoyable - if nothing else we do all enjoy a rummage through whatever goodies they've bought. Is there no middle ground I'm thinking, with some ' conditions ' being attached to any future participation by a seller.

Ultimately, I'll go with the flow and where Dave is prepared to drive to as I rely on him for transport.

It's your call Ros, as much as you want to please everyone, you do all the work of organising and ensuring all goes smoothly for the rest of us. xxx

Thank you Perps. My thoughts are we keep to prestleigh inn and forum members plus a select few from the last meet (just 2) and maybe go down the route of just getting a vendor to send stuff for the meet rather than being there.

I'm with Perpetua or rather she's with me (transport purposes only) stay with the Prestliegh, warm welcome, good food and from what I remember nice rooms, the forum members who have attended so far have been entertaining and helpful whereas I felt some of the cloud chasers were somewhat selfish in their attitude, i.e. (as vaping is not against the law I will do what I want).

I must admit, I enjoyed the first one more Roscopecotrain.

I lost my chauffeur for the night at the last minute (damn kids, don't trust 'em) and was prepared to sleep rough in the car (had a sleeping bag too) but I got cold feet with the negativity from the bar. I know I shouldn't even have considered staying in the car, but I would have if the atmosphere was lighter, as it was last year.

So, maybe we should keep out the cloud chasers? I dunno..... The vendors who sponsor want a bigger audience. It's a tough call.

I just hope it can continue there. And thanks for these two years that I attended.

Just heard from the Prestleigh Inn and they are happy to have us back as just forum members as normal.
Due to people going to the Vanilla Vapes meet in London i have asked for some dates at the end of Jan and start of Feb so as soon as i have a date sorted i will start the new thread.

I will message a few vendors and see if we can get a sponsor for the meet but just to send us stuff rather than be there.

If you know of one that would be willing to sponsor just give them a shout or let me know.
