On a few of the other boards that I use, music ones usually, there are often arranged get togethers where usually huge amounts of beer is consumed and interests are shared...

....would anyone fancy that sort of thing here...

....almost like a "Talk Magic Super Secret Brotherhood of Magick"...where secrets are exchanged and techniques passed down through generations are taught to impressionable neophytes...

...we could be MAGIC NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!

............am I getting carried away? we just get together for a pint one night I suppose!

It's a cool idea, but logistically, we're quite geographically challenged.

One possible idea is to look ahead a few months to a large convention or lecture, and arrange a meeting there?

it may be true that some of us are geographically challenged......(shropshire...HA! )

.....well, for one, I tend to be out and about with work a lot in various parts of the country so if there any small localish groups that might be able to meet up, if I am in the area, I would be up for it...

I don't know any other magicians socially and the Middlebrough Circle of Magicians get together once a month (if that) so I am in a little bit of a magical void...thats my excuses anyway

Nothing wrong with Shropshire! (But, nothing RIGHT with it either!!!! )

If we consider that Mog is in Scotland and Yankee Tom is in Devon, a night on the beer is a LONG journey. It's a shame, really.

But a convention, where we had time to book hotels/B&Bs etc would be great!

Being a family man with young children (2 x 18 months, phew!) I find the forum here a blessing as I get the feeling of being part of a 'magic club' even though I physically couldn't go to one.

I would like the idea of a club where local members could meet and bring their families

One idea I have is that if some of the members who, like me, have family commitments and would like to arrange a get together we could post in the EVENTS section here suggestions of day trips or other types of meets to see who would be interested. What do others think about this?

Please remeber the under 18's who can't buy alcohol yet, well actually don't know about other people but me and boywonder can't even buy cigarettes
yet!!
How about we arrange to meet some place at Blackpool? Have some sort of badge or something?

well if the under 18's cant buy alcohol they can always watch me... heh heh

and to be fair i dont know many scottish 15 year olds who havent bought drink!

Dont need to buy alcohol, the garage is full of the stuff..........But id never touch it (or would i)
And i dont intend on smoking, but i may decide to keep hold of some for magic

nothing to do with being cool... i can just about remember when i was 15 and yes i did buy it but i was not cool or hip or trendy or whatever words you young'uns use nowadays *sigh* can remember when all this was fields... etc etc

ok it was a misplaced attempt at humour but in my opinion even the "uncool" 15 year olds in my hometown have bought the odd bottle of buckfast now and then...


And DONT smoke!!!.... i smoked for 19 years and am now a proud EX smoker and feel all the better for it

this ends a MOG health message...


remember... JUST SAY NO!!!... heh heh

...YOU CANT GIVE A BABY BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!

...seriously though, getting back to the opriginal thread. There must be situation where the good people amongst us must travel to other parts of the country. If that is the case it would be nice to try to get together at convenient times.

Next time I am stopping over anywhere i will let you all know...if I am local to anyone and they fancy a pint and a chinwag just drop me a line (can't say fairer than that)

The two identical posts by guest were by me, computers jiggered again.
