Meet and greets

by Sealpig Sat Jan 16 2016, 13:32

Has there ever been a meet and greet on this forum? Like a human/ staffy play date? Just wondered, because after hearing about you all and your pooches, it'd be nice to see a few members together!

by **Goblin** Sat Jan 16 2016, 16:15

^ I was thinking that it'd be nice to meet you all as well.

by **-Ian-** Sat Jan 16 2016, 20:47

It would be nice. Historically it hasn't been allowed on the forum as it has lead to issues in the past but I don't foresee that happening again.

The bigger issue would be where seeing as we are from all over the UK and indeed further afield

by **AussieStaff** Sat Jan 16 2016, 20:51

I'm not going to a rainy cold country!!! Laughing

so post pics pls! Big Grin

by **-Ian-** Sat Jan 16 2016, 20:55

I was thinking we could all come to yours Bek seeing as it's flippin cold here just now Laughing

by **AussieStaff** Sat Jan 16 2016, 20:58

Sure, of course! A cool 26c forecast today brrrrr! Tongues

Plenty of room for everyone and snags & steaks on the barbie for the pooches! Big Grin

by **Mistys Mum** Sat Jan 16 2016, 20:59

Misty is packing her suitcase now!
I'd love to meet everyone too!

by **-Ian-** Sat Jan 16 2016, 21:01

Stuff the pooches, I want the steak Laughing

by **AussieStaff** Sat Jan 16 2016, 21:44

by **Mistys Mum** Sat Jan 16 2016, 22:52

I want the sun Laughing

by **AussieStaff** Sat Jan 16 2016, 23:07

Its not a bad place to live Laughing

by Sealpig Sun Jan 17 2016, 09:16

Rio would get his sun tan back! He's currently his pale pink self to the left Laughing

by Guest Sun Jan 17 2016, 09:19

I'd be up for it too, if we could find somewhere slightly closer than Sydney (but stil 26C)

by **Rachel33** Sun Jan 17 2016, 09:26

I'd love to, but couldn't bring Bug as she would more than likely have a melt down Sad

It'd be the same with Rio, but we could always just pop along and meet others with their calmer pooches Smile

by **Rachel33** Sun Jan 17 2016, 09:47

Definitely! Imagine all of those Staffies in one place Love Struck

by **AussieStaff** Sun Jan 17 2016, 09:56

Oh Rio look at that tan, you'd fit right in here !! Laughing

How fab, I'd love to see pics guys and perhaps some pooches would be missing but what a great catch up it'd be anyway, imagine all those cuddles !! Hope you can somehow tee it up - although think you're all scattered all over the place ?

Oh. Well that rules us out then.

Laughing

by **Goblin** Sun Jan 17 2016, 10:46

maybe we could meet in small groups and then see which dogs get on with which? Gizmo doesn't love every single dog on sight like he did as a pup.

by **Niffer** Sun Jan 17 2016, 12:51

Great idea but logistically very hard to arrange I would think.

Maybe a post showing where everyone lives so maybe could form walkie/meet up groups in the area where they live? It'd be interesting to see if anyone lives in Leicester lol wave

Hahahaha oh my goodness - what a lovely tum just like my boys !! Laughing

by **stella** Sun Jan 17 2016, 13:55

i think this was an idea that was brought up a few years ago and nothing ever came off it,a central place in the country was obviously the best thought area to meet,it would be a lovely thing to do,Beks name the date and we'll be there Laughing

by **Mistys Mum** Sun Jan 17 2016, 14:33

I'm really looking forward to meeting up with you all!
I vote for meeting in Surrey.. I'm sure Ian will second that! Laughing

But seriously I really don't mind where it is, I'm happy to go wherever just so we can have a meet.

by **Jenc** Sun Jan 17 2016, 15:57

It does sound like a fun idea Big Grin

by Guest Sun Jan 17 2016, 18:18

With a bit of planning I could do Essex side of Surrey, if you see what I mean, so near the M25 (but not too near!). Or maybe round that M25/26 junction so for Jen?

by **AussieStaff** Sun Jan 17 2016, 18:38

I vote Sydney, according to the section where our dogs blog its next to Essex near London!! Laughing

by **Rachel33** Sun Jan 17 2016, 19:02

Well, I'm in Devon if you all fancy coming to Dartmoor Laughing

by **Inez Maria** Sun Jan 17 2016, 19:04

I would be up for a pub Laughing

by **AussieStaff** Sun Jan 17 2016, 20:40

Inez!!

by **Goblin** Sun Jan 17 2016, 22:01

Gizmo just tried to dig his way to Aus via the carpet in my bedroom, so I'm guessing he wants to go see Koda first.

by **AussieStaff** Sun Jan 17 2016, 22:56

Uh-Oh Gizmo you have to be good to come to Australia !! Don't you go teaching Koda naughty habits again Laughing

Yup... I can vouch for that Laughing

by Peter Stafford Mon Jan 18 2016, 01:01

You are also welcome in Brazil, just ask Gizmo to dig at an angle Laughing

No seriously, Kiki would dig it!

by **AussieStaff** Mon Jan 18 2016, 01:19

Brazil, wow I'd love to go there - on our way !!! Brazil it is team !!! Laughing

Blimey Liz do you know where I am or did you have to google it!!! Surprised

by Guest Mon Jan 18 2016, 08:01

I googled it!

Ok, it looks like we've got a plan. We start somewhere along the M25 then move down to Devon, stopping at a pub or two on the way. We then all get digging to arrive in Sydney sometime after lunch. Then Koda joins in the digging and we make Brazil for dinner. And in that scheme of things, a hop down from Leicester, Scotland or anywhere else should be a breeze.

Sound about right?

by **Mistys Mum** Mon Jan 18 2016, 09:38

That sounds like a plan!!

by **-Ian-** Mon Jan 18 2016, 15:07

I'll sit here and co-ordinate Laughing

by **stella** Mon Jan 18 2016, 15:12

umm Isle of Wight too please Laughing

by **Mistys Mum** Mon Jan 18 2016, 16:08

So when shall we book our ferry and plane tickets bounce

for?

by **Mia05** Mon Jan 18 2016, 18:04

oh god I couldnt bring mia for 1 the dog issue and 2 not sure her legs would hold great in practice tho id love australia I reckon and a bbq sounds nice . also loving the pub option cannae beat a pub

by **Jenc** Mon Jan 18 2016, 19:34

Nice pub in my village as long as you can dodge the 8 geese!!! Laughing

by **Goblin** Mon Jan 18 2016, 20:07

Being born and raised in London, as far as Gizmo is concerned, the second you breach the security circle (M25) everywhere looks like Game of Thrones past the wall.

He is willing to brave the wildlings and dierwolves to venture into the Not-london. I told him that the streets are paved with bacon and he suddenly perked up.

by **AussieStaff** Mon Jan 18 2016, 20:55

Streets paved with bacon, Kodas digging now!!!! Laughing

by BriggsX4 Tue Jan 19 2016, 09:29

I guess GALWAY is out of the question - too many PUBS, SO instead of "walkies" it would be "crawlies" in and out of pubs and bed early... ha ha...Sadly Roxy prone to having a swing of beer, if she can reach it..loves to knock the bottle over and have a quick drinkie !!!

by **Niffer** Tue Jan 19 2016, 13:44

Sounds a fab idea but too far away, don't drive- shame Sad

by **Goblin** Tue Jan 19 2016, 17:47

I can't drive either, so am train dependent. Sure we can find somewhere.
