lollipopgirl83 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Haha...unless you spend the eight hours before the show waiting with MFCers! But this would be great! I probably couldn't go though. Time and money issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Altenatively we could say...because Mika is UK based? But no, neither of those answers would be true. I guess, because WE ARE based in the UK it is easier for us to do it in the UK but if any members from other countries wanted to do a convention as long as they ran it through Admin or Mods it could be looked at I am sure. Members from different countries have already got together on many occasions...I guess it is just the title that is different..and anything that is done under the MFC banner needs to be properly organised :thumb_yello: I agree 100%. When I worked for a well know supermarket, we had Christmas parties. These were partially funded by the company, but organised by the stores' social committees. They were not allowed to call the social committee anything with the company's name in it, due to the goings on at the said parties, which could bring the firm into disrepute.

kath Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Great stuff Kath , I love it when a plan comes together Oblivion here we come Thanks Fred..is that the extent of your support !!! I haven't read all of this thread yet, but I am up for it. At gigs we usually just don't get enought time to talk to each other, unless you traipse round service stations in the middle of the night. You mean thats not normal then!!!!/// I agree - Glasgow was great because we had the weekend - but a whole daywithout Mika distracting us - great!!!! Love it!!! No hun, only four of us having full breakfast at 2.00am in a motorway cafe. Yes....but one was dressed as a penguin!!!! OK folks..it is Friday night, bacardi is kicking in....my lap top is being painfully slow..........I am retiring to the Oldlings which is the safest place for an Oldling to be on a friday night. I will return with my sensible head on tomorrow and hopefully I will have heard from Alton Towers. I will answer (or try to answer) any questions then:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think this is an excellent idea and I would love to come, but I'm afraid it won't be possible...the cost of travel, school work...nope, there's now way I could come. But I'm sure you'll have tons of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haeschen02 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 That sounds like a great idea. If I can somehow manage to come I'm absolutely up for it . I have no idea where and what this park is but it sounds like fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sienna Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sounds interesting....but I have no idea what Alton Park is! Is it far from London? Hotels? How do I get there? What is a convention? Why at this place? And many, many more questions…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Alton towers (google it) is a theme park in central England. (Stafforshire) It is a fantastic, fun place. It has conference facilities. We just thought it would be a good place to meet up and have fun. A convention is a meeting ( a bit like a conference). We would have a program of events. To be honest it isn't the best place to get to on public transport but there are buses that run specifically to there. It has it's own hotles but there are also local guest houses.

Definitly interesting! I’ve promised myself to try on driving in the UK one day, maybe this is the right opportunity? How far from London if you go by car? In hours. …never been driving in left handed traffic before… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scut Monkey Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The UK would make sense as the place to hold the first convention, the majority of the MFC is concentrated in that area and many European and North American MFCers travel there too. The summer may also be the best time to hold it as more people will have time to go to it. Whereabouts in the UK is the theme park? Would somewhere closer to London be more convenient for MFCers travelling from other countries? It's an awfully long way away from Oz anyway so I won't be able to come.

Finkster Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hah, I wish I could go. Most likely wont happen for me, but I hope everything works out for all of you! I'm expecting tons of pictures and reports. Maybe even some texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mika (eventually) comes to Oz we'd love to have you at one of our get-togethers. And who knows, if there are a few people coming we might make it into something bigger. It's still a long way away so we have time yet to see how these kind of things pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoots14 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 How did I miss this thread?? What a great idea... I would love to be there. Unfortunately, coming from Canada, it might not be in my budget. I've been thinking of travelling to see him when the next album comes out, but unless he's going to be at this convention I think I'd better wait and travel for a concert instead. (Not that I don't want to meet all of you...!) I do think it's a fantastic idea, and will be tons of fun. I'll put a little plug in for the next convention to be held in Toronto or New York!

Well Alton Towers is between Birmingham and Manchester, both of which have international airports, so coming from other countries shouldn't be a problem and they have the buses running from them to go to AT.

For some reason I thought that the theme park would be in an obscure part of the country. OK then, the travel sounds convenient enough. How about accommodation, are there cheap options in the area?
