It's looking good!!  Please keep me up-to-date re. when & where etc.  No problem for me if it's in Palma Nova  -  I'll get a taxi like last year.

Glad you managed to make it, Mark  -  you got a good deal after all.      

I've also been searching for details of Oktoberfest but haven't found anything either   -   not in SP or Paguera.  All the sites I've found have only mentioned last year or before  -  even the Calvia Council site.

Looks like its the 10th October in Paguera http://www.calvia.com/web/plantilles/jstl/Calvia/plt/general_Eng.plt?KNOTICIA=898&KIDIOMA=3&KNODE=2

Just to confirm Im happy with either resorts, actually SP would be nice for a change, not been there at night before. But chat amongst yourselves and Ill just join in where ever you all decide.

We mooted SP a while ago mate, but good for a change.  

The Oktoberfests are on in Palma and Playa de Palma for a whole month, the Peguera one above in Daryns link is 10 - 19 Oct so we won't be there for that.

Although SP is fine by me for the meet up, does it seem daft that us 6 staying in PN/Maga area would need to get 2 taxis each way, 4 taxi trips? Whereas Jen would need just the return for herself? We could all chip in and reduce the cost of that then?
Not sure what Dads plans are, he's staying in SP as well.

Well 3 weeks to go maybe we should make firm arrangements just in case ehem beeech decides to pop along lol

I really don't mind if it's SP or PN.  No need at all to chip in towards my taxi (if in PN) but that was a nice thought, Mark.

I'm back in Alexandria 25th and 26th Sept. meeting in London on Friday 27th and I think they have booked me on a flight from Gatwick on Sunday 29th around midday so I'll be available for misuse from Sunday evening, I thought Santa Ponsa had been agreed for "The Meet" that's why I booked there.

It's true that SP was mooted as the venue for this years meet up many months ago, as night problems in Magaluf were being reported, and a change from PN was thought to be an idea. Especially with the beer festival supposedly on there again.

But there wasn't any confirmed numbers of people going at the time.
As it's turned out, there's not many going, and the bulk of those are staying in the PN/Maga area.

But I don't mind either. Ruby Tuesdays has been mentioned in previous years as a good enough venue, and the two previous years at the Orion bar have been ok as well.
What bar would we use in SP? Apart from Ro and britchick, (who aren't going lol) I don't think any of us know the area well enough to recommend a bar?

There are loads of bars in SP (on the front & up on the "strip")  -  but as I didn't visit any in the evenings last year, I couldn't recommend anywhere.

Yes, that's sort of what I mean Jen, we could all sit down somewhere and then go "we don't like this" and go somewhere else, and then someone who arrives late (that'll be Mick ) won't know where we are, etc etc

Im sure BC mentioned a few for us

I'm booked out on Easy Jet from Gatwick on Sunday at 12:40, Fergus Plaza Sunday Monday Tuesday, so see you all Monday night.
anyone want a drive out on the Monday?

Look forward to seeing you matey  

And me & San, we are looking forward to seeing you as well Dad's.   Dad's have you shaved your beard off mate, just in case we don't recognise you again?
