Anyone got any ideas about a summer 2012 meet?

 

I's say Brum again or Wales.

 

Can put up at least 10 people at my house and there's a new Premier Inn 6 miles away which has it's own pub/restaurant and another decent pub/restaurant ten minutes walk that does very good food for excellent prices...

 

Anyone up for it?

Hi, BB,

 

Hope you're well.:-)

 

I'll keep an eye on this thread, if it ends up in Cardiff and we're well enough to be there at the time, we'll come.

 

All best,

H.xx

Yes, BB, cheers for your kind offer.

 

We've been better (IB to ESA migration :madgrin: amongst the usual mithering/paperwork) but you've just got to hope it all turns out all right in the end, eh?

 

Take care, it would be lovely to meet you some day & buy you & a few other helpful CAGgers a pint:-)

 

Right, back to watching Cymru v. Ffrainc (from between my fingers....!)

Cardiff is a great night out and there are plenty of decent cheap city centre hotels including a travel lodge next to Walkabout :-)

Barstewards!!! Are you appealing? Do you know about the Benefits and Works website? We subscribe and it's the best £20 I've ever spent, though you can get just the guides for a tenner... with their help got transferred into the support group without a medical and OH's DLA renewal indefinitely, though the mithering starts again in a few years' time with PIP b*******... if I can help out at all please give me a shout...

It makes no sense... DLA upped my award on the strength of the form alone! The reason they gave was that I'm a danger to myself and others all day!!!

Actually, the only CAG meets I've been to have been Birmingham August 2009, 2010 and 2011. I rightly use my disabled person's rail card for discount on my travel, booked a room to share with other members to cut cost to a bare minimum and, apart from hotel breakfast spent for the three trips about £20 on food, £80 on drinks because I bought a few bottles of wine, £30 on taxi fares from train to hotel and back. ... For example: 2009, train fare £50, taxis £10, room for two £60, breakfast for two £20, internet £10 (which I didn't use). 2010 after my coma: train fare £50, taxis £10, room and breakfast for two £80. 2011: Train £50, taxis £10, room for three for two nights including breakfast £189.

Hi, nice to hear from you again... Hope your dissertation was successful and the proof reading was up to scratch... Unfortunately even big and diverse community groups such as CAG have a life cycle/time-scale of any other comparable online communities. We can but try to understand such things and either move on or further diversify. That is up to the powers that be...

 

I lurk in the background and come out to help when I can...

 

THB, since my disabilities got so much worse I spend more time on those groups, though never losing site of this group...

i can understand what you are going through on your disabilities, i myself am just about to be made redundant through ill health retirement

 

can you remember in the old days of cag, we were a commnunity, everybody had an equal say.

if anybody made an error in their posting we had people like PT, john chriss, or peter barred educate us with good manners.

that how people started to learn things

now if you post in error you get people straight down your throat with abuse and a knowall mentality. you cant even air a voice or criticism without being moderated

the spirit of the forum has now gone, i doubt we will ever have that sense of community/family back again

 

once again

 

lots of love and all the best

Hi Babybear,

I have read lots of your post and always feal like you have given great advice, As you can see from my posts I haven't been here long but if what you're saying is true then it's a real shame and I have to admit I have seen some posts from peple who have jumped down peoples throats for the slightest error, there is no need but like Caro says they are know it alls!. I hope that this site doesn't dissappear because of a few nasty people.

 

All the best to you.

Any and all CAG meets have been and gone without a lot of us at least being informed...

 

There is no Birmingham meet this year as far as I know...

 

However, there have been other meets during the last year and especially three months; and the last three years in fact; in various parts of the country which were private. No worries, up to them...

 

It was the same in 2010 when I came out of the coma. As mentioned a callous b'tard made very ungracious comments about me of which it should have been lucky to not get a libel/defamation/slander suit slapped on it...

 

I was ostracised even though I made an innocent enquiry/joke and was absolutely viciously and vehemently slated...

With the greatest of respect, I should have been in London today giving evidence to a parliamentary session. Due to ill health I was unable to attend, however, I did make a video for the session... I also appeared on the Sunday Politics Show and the six o'clock news... I am in no way negative, in fact the complete opposite, to the detriment of my own life and health...
