Will see how my schedule is, shame you arn't popping by Copenhagen on your little tour, bit too short notice for me to pop over the Amsterdam or London ;-)
Agree with the Rt. Hon. Kahless - chains are your friend. Wetherspoons is a safe bet - cheap and cheerful (and kind to the budget of any students who may be going, I'm sure!)
Hi all! Made it to Amsterdam safe today! Also, I'm still looking for suggestions on where we can all meet up in Amsterdam, London, and Edinburgh I've seen a few in here, but the more the better.
I've made a thread for the London Meetup - picking places can be a nightmare, and I thought that it might make life easier for everyone else if it weren't cluttering up this main thread; those attending, feel free to use it or ignore it.
I will not be in the EU. I have been to London before, therefore I've decided to offer a suggestion. I would suggest the Sherlock Holmes bar, across from parliament. Also London city hall has very good food.
I am not sure if those places have the space you require; they are the only places where the food was good enough to remember.
While I am there, I would love to plan some casual STO meet-ups where players who attend can meet each other, grab some dinner (everyone will need to pay for their own expenses, though) and chat about STO and Trek.
Confirmed locations and dates:
Amsterdam, Netherlands - Saturday, June 15th
London, England - Saturday, June 22nd
Edinburgh, Scotland - Saturday, June 29th
Note: All 3 dates and locations above confirmed!
So... anyone interested? I would love to meet as many of you as possible If you are, reply and let me know for which location, and any ideas for where would be a good spot to grab some food AND can accommodate a (potentially) large group.
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
I'd love to in theory, sadly I'm working on the 22nd and 29th or I'd be there. That said if you happen to pass through Yorkshire give me a yell

Seconded... and if you're driving from London to Edinburgh you'll come pretty close! Or have a flight stopover in Leeds/Bradford airport and we'll all fill the airport bars!

Oh and if you looking for cheap for space to meet and talk where no one cares who you are you need a WEATHERSPOONS there are plenty near the major train stations and a few next to thames use google.
I sooooo want to come ... but as I am under 16 ... that may be difficult. Does anyone know ticket prices (train) for going to London from the North West?
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

Good idea! I will make separate threads later today or tomorrow for the other cities and close this one out to a link to each one, including yours That way those who can actually make it can post in the respective thread with their suggestions.

Don't forget to treat yourself a traditional 'fish and chips' when in london. And if it's not wrapped in a newspaper it's not traditional :P

Hello Brandon.
Might I suggest The Hogs Head public house which is in Londons Leicester Square. I have been to other game meets at this location (back when I used to play EVE Online) and I know that the landlord is very welcoming of large groups of people as there is a large upstairs section that can easily hold 100+ people.
The food is good and both that and the drinks are all reasonably (for central London at any rate) priced. The atmosphere is good and the location is easily reached by all forms of transport, not to mention the big cinema nearby and bountiful supply of smaller shops and restaurants in the immediate area.
Enjoy your time there and also, will there at any point be an official meet taking place in Munich, Germany as I am moving there in 10 days time and will not be able to attend any of the UK meets.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that to the list of potential spots.
There is a VERY, and I mean very, small chance that there will be an additional meet-up in Germany, but it would be in Berlin if there was one. I am waiting to hear back from a friend in Frankfurt I am going to be visiting, but if I do go there, I wouldn't be able to do a meet-up due to conflicting plans. If they are not available for my visit, the small chance I am referring to is a trip to Berlin with the German STO Community Manager. But, that's really all dependent on my Frankfurt plans, and even then, I'm not sure if we'd be able to get a good enough deal to get out there. I probably shouldn't even post this as I don't want to get hopes up

You are most welcome. I hope you enjoy your time both here in England and Scotland, I'm sure you'll find people quite welcoming. As for the Germany meet-up, do not worry if there isn't an official one, I'm sure I could find a fan organised one Happy holidays fella.

TEN FORWARD FLEET
I'll be in London for your visit
Places to eat? I suppose it depends on your likes and dislikes but you may want to think of a simple chain restaurant like Wagamamas.
I'm sure there will be some that say it's not classy enough but I rather like them
In any case, it would be nice to meet you finally after the few STF runs we did together before you got all famous
Would've been more perfect if I could actually go, but I already promised to take some friends to see Star Trek Into Darkness.
Cheers,

Why not a place where he can get food local to London / England? Just curious.
I am not sure if those places have the space you require; they are the only places where the food was good enough to remember.

WHY WHY WHY LONDON
England is a long country
so why not Birmingham.
that would have made more sense
but hey ho.
Oh and if you looking for cheap for space to meet and talk where no one cares who you are you need a WEATHERSPOONS there are plenty near the major train stations and a few next to thames use google.
Have fun
I hope STO get's better ...

Would have loved to have a meet up here!
(Of course, totally understandable that you wanna have some free time/hang out with friends/whatever. But still... *sob*)
