Big DerPl Urbex Meet-Up

[urban-dorset]

Firstly, I'd like to say that I have spoken with Krela and he is happy for me to post the following idea.

I think it would be great to have a big members group meetup and the date we've come up with is Saturday 19th September, which is DerelictPlaces 10th Birthday weekend! It seems a fitting weekend to hold a meet and eat cake.

This meetup would likely include a visit to the derelict Victorian gothic chapel that Krela is helping to renovate and turn into an art and community space. This project will take several years to complete and details can be found here:-

The Chapel visit would be followed by a pub meet, and somewhere along the line we might include some group urbex photos, so bring your disguises!

Exact details are still to be finalised as, of course, it also depends on numbers.

Krela is going to create an invite only meetup forum where we can discuss things more privately, but in the meantime it'd be good to gauge the level of interest in this.

Here's hoping we gets loads of positive replies - it would be great to all meet up at once!

[mockingbird]

sounds good

 

[gingrove]

Wonderful idea! keep us informed.

What a brilliant idea,I wont be able to make it but cant wait to see the photos.

 

[smiler]

Sounds good and it would be nice to put faces to the names of folks who have given me so much pleasure by posting pics and reports of places that I probably won't get to see for myself. Thing is what if I don't like em or unlikely as it seems, They don't like me,
So I wish the idea well but I include myself out
Stay Safe.

Hi urban-dorset. I haven't posted on DP for about three years, although I do like to look in from time to time. I would like to join in the meet-up mind, health permitting, as Bristol's on my wish list and easy enough to get to from here. It would be an excellent opportunity to stay the weekend and look at some other stuff there too. As long as you don't mind an oldie dropping in.
