If this meet can be within striking distance of an airport, I'll try to come to.

One possible meeting place could be Birminham International station. It is linked to Birmingham Airport and there is ample parking nearby with good links to the motorway network.

Terry UK.

a little too fasr for me.

Perhaps we could have meetings North and South.

i work nesar Heathrow Airport and live near Bracknell - so anythere near there or Thames Valley would be nice for me.

Birmingham is about 1 1/2 hrs drive for me

A short drive by American standards. We have folks driving and flying in several hundred miles to this weekend's MoM. We've had them fly in from England, Canada, and half way across the USA. Takes a little effort on everyone's part to pull off a MoM. You won't regret the effort, and you'll meet lots of nice folks.

Greetings!

I was more heartened by the later posts, I did think at first that the meeting will consist of myself only! I am taking on board the suggestions made, with one eye on the airports for Ireland visit, I have had suggested somewhere near East Midlands Airport, but have to say that Birmingham International has got the rail link as well as the airport, plus it is just down the road so to speak! It is in the midlands so as to be fair to all in the UK rather than fitting everything around the London area. Indeed we are all well spaced out across the country. Can I ask if a weekday or weekend date (possibly September or October) would be in order?

Cheers!

I am retired so I can make any day. However, since I would be traveling to Birmingham International station by train, Sunday is not a particularly good day to travel as the timetable will have fewer and slower trains.

As a group of strangers, how do we recognise each other?

I know I did rather announce that I would try to set up a suitable meeting for all of us in the UK, but to be perfectly frank and honest I seem to have cold feet on the project. I think that I might still be able to get hold of some kind of venue but I do not feel that such an expense would be justified for the few members (in fact only one indicated something definate) whom could be able to have the time and the money to travel long distances- and then when we do meet- we will all be able to chat and maybe swill down the lemonade or whatever- but that's about it!

Obviously I have run out of ideas chaps.

Suggestions and comments are most welcome.

Things seem to have cooled off with this good idea, of a UK MOM. I agree with Kristoff, reference the distances. Britain is a small Island, and having visited most of it as a service engineer I know this more than most. Some days I travel 800 miles, working in the middle. I'm not all that good at organising events, but Birmingham seemed a good location. Good rail, air and road links. I live 200 miles further north, and would attend if the date was right for me.

I hope something can be arranged.

Lancashire based wannabe here. I've only recently come to the realisation that I want to become a eunuch. Currently my plan is to just leave the idea hanging for a few months just to make sure it's definitely what I want and not a phase I'm going through - I never act hastily especially with something so drastically irreversible!

If anyone has any material or anecdotes on what sort of treatment I can expect in the UK it would be greatly appreciated. I'd be willing to go private if the NHS won't help (although they treat MTFs so I don't see why not) but I'd like to avoid going abroad if at all possible.

And finally, hi! It's nice to meet all you lovely... well I was going to say "chaps" but that's not entirely appropriate is it? The English language needs more gender neutral pronouns!

Welcome aboard Senjougahara,

There is much info here and we are a friendly bunch of (ummm people)

Hope you find all you need, ask as many questions as you like...
