| With this year’s meet-up only just over, I feel a bit embarrassed asking this but does anyone know if it’s likely there will be a get-together next year at about the same time? It’s just that I’m mulling over a few places to go to for my next Sept/Oct break & if a meet-up is on the cards, it might affect what I decide to do. Also, I'd like to grab an early bargain as soon as Easyjet releases its flights. Any thoughts, anyone?? |

| TBH Jen, we normally meet up around the 1st of October, see Calendar below, which next year falls on a Wednesday. So provisionally we could all pencil in around that date, if it suits everybody? _________________ Mick

If a Monday was still the best day for everyone (as last few years), do you think it would be 29 September or 6 October?

| I'm not sure what we are doing, I've gone that time of year for along time, infact I cant remember when it started BUT it was a cheap break, the prices are stupid now for a 3/4 night break. After seeing the prices of the summer flights and hotels I just cant say what's on the cards but like you I like to grab the flights straight away so until they are released I wont know from my side. Debbie has indicated she would rather go about the same time as this year, so it looks like the end of September 29th time but that's not cast in stone. I'm not even sure if Debbie will want to go next year she is getting well bored with the place after all these years BUT I still love my Maga fix. She said she would rather have a couple of nights in London I DONT THINK SO So I might be on my own next year _________________ |

I'll just keep on browsing &, like you, Daryn, see what comes up.
Flights to mainland Spain & islands are usually pretty similar but, if I find a good hotel deal somewhere else, that may decide it for me. I'd still like to join you all if you decide to meet up, though, & as I usually go at the end of September/beginning of October, I should be OK re dates.

| My thoughts. The weather this year was a treat , it was only a couple of degrees cooler that it was when I went in July. In fact, it's still nice now, the season has lasted this year. But the year before the weather on the first few days was awful, overcast and rainy, we was in the room for a fair proportion of the day. So really, it would be better if the meet up was targeted for earlier in September, - although that's no guarantee of better weather, it's just a better chance of it. But then it comes down to cost. The prices for rooms once October has started drop significantly. So, for me, on the balance of things, seeing as we'll be taking a main holiday at an earlier time, I/we'd go for the first week of October, probably go for a week and stay in SP this time, so looking for departing about Friday 3rd - Friday 10th. So if the meet up was a Monday, that'd be the 6th. |

I agree re the weather, Mark. I've been going about the same time for a number of years now & it's varied between ........ lovely most of the time ........... quite bad for most of the time ............. & sometimes a mixture of both!

| We would probably go out on the 1st of October, as Mark rightly says the prices are a lot cheaper, flights & accommodation. Where we stay the prices are half of what they were in September. _________________ Mick

It doesn't have to be a Monday Jen, just as Mark has said, but we have normally tried for a Monday in the past. _________________ Mick

| I think I remember Daryn saying that Mondays were best for him because of his & Debbie's work. One of the perks of retirement is not having work problems |

| Well for the first few years we had a pre meet up on a saturday night, and the meet up on a sunday. This was then changed to a monday as Daryn doesn't normally fly out till the sunday and it's too long a day to travel and then do the meet up.
Trying to tie it all up when some people just want to fly out for a long weekend, and fly back on the monday, makes it hard to pin the meet up day down, this far in advance. |

| OK so 6th of October can anyone else verify that this would be great for them, I just want a date so I can book when they come outing in the early hours of Monday morning this year.. BUT a Monday is for the best for us as I finish work daft oclock Monday morning and knackered although Iwas still partying
So a Sunday is fine for me but Monday even better. let me know guys _________________ |
