    MATMEET 10 - CANCELLED

    Post  Admin on Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:22 pm



    As you can see, Matmeet 10 will happen over the weekend of 26/27 May. We're in West Cornwall for this meet which means From Newquay down.

    We'll choose the best day and spot during the week leading up to the weekend. For those travelling, get your campsite bookings in now!!! Word is, many campsites, B&B's, etc are struggling to get bookings so deals may well be available with a spot of haggling.

    Use this thread to negotiate car shares/tent shares, etc.

    As this is our tenth meet, it might be a nice idea to get some professional photo's taken as we did at Matmeet 5. Obviously the photographer would need paying so if people are up for chipping in a fiver then we should be able to sort that so let us know if you're interested in that idea too.

    Also, we could do with some land based filming so if anyone has a friend/partner/spouse/parent/child with an interest in filming then bring them along! Otherwise, we'll go for the usual rota.

    Finally, this may well turn in to a trans-Atlantic festival of inflatability with our US East Coast mat-surfing brethren looking to synchronize a meet of their own. A combo-video would be a nice anniversary gift to ourselves wouldn't it!

    Let's have thoughts, plans and ideas from ya'll!

    Cheers

    Camcorder Queens!Unless it's this good,I don't see point of filming.Bet even this bloke looked at pic and thought,"it seemed way better than that"!How about getting Rolf to do a quick sketch,or Will Self to write a rapid novella of events?

    Don't reckon I'll be there,but if there's swell,will be riding before work...

    If Holywell's on could you take an hour's break at some point if we had it there?

    Basically early Sunday is ideal if we're to get both you and Cookson there. Other people need to give their preferences for the day.

    Matting Giants,

    I have to repectfully withdraw from MM10. It clashes with my daughter's newly re-arranged birthday party.
    Needless to say I'm a bit gutted, but I hope you have fun Smile .
