Posted by Jakob I think I'm going to post a new thread with a poll, asking what day people'd find best to have a meet on. (There'll also be an option for 'no, I can't/won't' or something along those lines). Then depending on what responses are received, possibly do as Sonikgirl suggested. |
Posted by Akadma I dont have a lot of insight on the topic. I would like to attend a meeting at some point, but clearly they need to be figured out. Sundays work, doesnt matter which Sunday it is, your going to have some people show up or maybe none. Not everyone works Mon-Fri with weekends off. fortunately I do, but I have long weeks, and my weekends are valuable to me. So when I could be out exploring (or lack of..), I dont want to show up to a meet and hear about how good it was to explore locations that are now demolished (jealousy..). It would be good to meet a few urbex enthusiasts, do the whole "tell us about yourselves" deal, and go out and explore, but to where?? PPP? YR? radar? Besides, I dont know how excited I am to explore locations in larger groups. So heres what I think.. have a meet where you can get a bunch of people together, over coffee, do introductions, find out who clicks with who, say a few words and part ways. This will allow users on here to put faces and personalities to usernames. And when something big comes up, factory shuts down, school relocates or whatever, then that will be a reason for a "MEET". Discuss dangers, obstacles, etc.. Otherwise, what is the purpose for the meets? I've been to group meetings before, but not for urbex.. so please enlighten me if Im completely missing the purpose. |
Posted by Jakob I really want to, and should be at this meeting. I am going to make my best efforts to make my way down to Halifax for this Sunday, however my chances are not looking great. My car is off the road currently, alternator died and it lost its inspection. Are there any explorers in the Valley who intend to or would be interested in going to this meet and may be willing to take someone along (i.e. me)... |
Posted by Jakob I might be able to take the Acadian, actually... Received a loan from a family member. |
Posted by symphoniaa Thanks for opening this up publicly! This was the kinda thing I've been looking for. If you're looking for new members, I'm in. (I'm completely noobish here) The thing is, I would just prefer to become a bit more situated here, and get to know people better before I show up at meetings in person. But once that happens, I'll be showing up on scheduled meets for sure. Since I live in Dartmouth, Just-Us is a swell location for me. |
I'd suggest you start by checking out the UE Data Base, and maybe you'll get an idea about the kind of locations you find interesting. |
