FF 2009 Skegness Weekender - The only vote worth voting!

[ben]

Ok people, seeing as we are getting nowhere with the last vote, way too many options and dates - I'm going to make it simple.

We have one location - Skegness
And TWO possible dates:

18th-21st September - Normal family event
25th-28th September - 18+ "Disco Inferno" Weekender

For details on both see - http://www.butlins.com/your-breaks/Skegness/September/2009/3/

For everyone who has been before, you know the score - but, for people who have never been, basically this is a great trip away to meet loads of new people, drink (a lot!) and generally have a riot up in dear old skeggy.

Why am I posting this you might ask - well, I've decided I've missed so many I now wanna join in the fun so I'll be flying in from Arizona just to make it - SO - no excuses it's too far from anyone else

Let's run this poll for 1 week - then which ever wins we go with (assuming we have enough interest at all).

But seriously guys, this is a fantastic event - so hopefully we'll all be able to make it the sensation it always is.

Oh - and as for voting, if you can make (and want to go to) both dates, please vote both (not just your favourite) and if you can't make either or you're still a "maybe", DON'T VOTE!

Im up for either but the chances are that i will be on my lone So if anybody wants to share accommodation PM me.
Does anybody know if the 4 sharing means 2 beds.

Does anybody know if the 4 sharing means 2 beds.

If you click through on the booking, then you will get room layouts.

 

[craigb244]

I can do both... more then happy to share so we can save a bit (i just dont want to be left miles away in the ghetto like last year )

 

[Eklipze3k]

I'll share with anyone - just need to know how much to pay and by when

 

[Focus Owner]

if you dont plan on going but dont mind be put down as a maybe incase my situationc
changes should i vote?

due to going to uni in september?
if so it would be 28th

 

[ben]

No - if it's a maybe, don't vote.

 

[smokeyjoe03]

I can book either off work and my g/f doesn't start uni until October so either is good. We Need a holiday between camping in July and Lanzarote in December

 

[ben]

Jolly good - we're getting some momentum here.

I'm not sure which I prefer - the earlier one means I can get to Tokyo in time to meet my mate (29th) - but the later one means I get a bit longer with the missus in Phoenix ..... :chin:

 

[Aircooledbug]

Oh god I think the first one would win! lol

 

[ben]

Oh god I think the first one would win! lol

Normally I might agree, but seeing as I live out there anyway

Edit: Oh and missus will stay in Phoenix for 2 years, she's not coming back with me

 

[Aircooledbug]

I think I might pop along to this. Havent been to Skegness for about 6-7 years. I used to go there every year. And plus it would be good so I can see some good family friends who own a B&B just outside Skeggy.

This is not really fair on the family side of things, Because either way the 18+ will still get to go and have a good time where as if the 18+ win the vote the familys cant go because some are under 18..

That's exactly why there's a vote

 

[ben]

That's exactly why there's a vote

Well said

At the other end of the scale, some members WON'T come unless it is 18+ .... so it works both ways.

 

[james2609]

My birthday is 26th Sept, so I HAVE to vote 18+

 

[Eklipze3k]

My birthday is 26th Sept, so I HAVE to vote 18+

Mine's 1st Oct, so ditto

 

[RhysB]

I can definitely do both, but I'd be more towards the 18+ side.
But, it would be alot better, and a bigger crowd, if it was a family weekend. That also means that the slightly older people can bring their children with them rather than leaving them at home for the weekend

 

[Focus Owner]

i guess a family could come to the 18+ and the significant other could look after the children while the other gets rat arsed.

2 rooms may be required aswell as 2 cars
