I'm not sure of where to vote for so probably don't really mind where it is . . . although maybe I need to give it some more thought and travel investigation!

I think its ok to leave this particular poll as a one vote poll, but its important to make the dates poll to be Multiple votes to ensure as wide a number of FMUKers can attend once the destination is elected.

Can I suggest that we tour alround UK we these cons in the coming years so we keep moving to a new location that we have not being to...

...This means taking out London from the list.

We have already done London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Also, I have a feeling that a large majority of our membership are Londoners? So, that may result in London being the winner, everytime...which I dont think will be a fair balanced outcome.

So lets vote for Leeds, Birmingham and Cardiff (and York)?

Those are my thoughts for consideration!

I voted Leeds because Steve instigated an invite at the last con which I am happy to accept! But I am hoping in following years we will also do Birmingham, Cardiff and York :)

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

Ah, you know what, i will change my vote to London after all I said. Beate has been practically running this forum on behalf of AYBG. She missed the out of London cons in last two years and id like to see our Queen of fmuk in our next one! other cities can do other years if vote swings that way.
