Ollie, if you want to read all the stuff just search for the Boardie Convention thread from about 2 or 3 months ago. It's all there
Good point Paul, but someone needs to make the decision that it will happen. No-one outside of this board is gonna do it for us. |

Haha, for some reason I feel discouraged all of the sudden.
But honestly, I would have the time of my life if we had a convention. |

So does that mean the old thread should be dug up again???
It'd be kinda crap if someone arranged it and no one turned up! |

Yep. I think that interest should be seriously gauged though. Give people a time window, like Summer (Northern Hemisphere) then see how many people can make it. |

A strategically persistant campaign via T Chat, it worked for the Mexicans. |

I think the band are pretty fond of the 'boardies' though- and something "official", well if they're invited i doubt they'd turn it down. Especially as some people on here (and i don't mean me) have regular contact with the band.
I reckon if there was something organised, the band would be there. But then again, it's about meeting everyone else so the band being there could be a distraction from that.
Just a few ideas- but the Mexican strategy is a good'n! haha |

| I see what you mean about the band, but the band is what's mostly going to attract people from further away, so it's a bit of a Catch 22. |

Well, there were lots of threads imploring them to play there. I'm not saying conclusively that that's why they're pitching up for 3 more dates there, but every good business listens to it's customers, right? |
