  • Dave W Probably to Manchester on the day.
  • Weirdy Train from CPM
  • Lankku - Train from Leicester or Loughborough, change at Sheffield, arrive at Manchester Piccadilly

Cameras

If you're bringing a digital camera, or a video camera, please let us know here. In addition, Owen would appreciate any video of your journey, your time at the meet, and so on, for the Meet 2011 video, should he have time to actually make it. Considering the 2009 video hasn't been made yet, though, then that's perhaps not all that likely...

  • Born_Acorn - DSLR, which is installed with the HD videoness.
  • Geo Ghost - DSLR (Nikon D200) and possibly my DV camera if I have it.
