TS South: 24-26 June 2016

Our South meet is back for 2016 with a difference! From Friday, 24th to Sunday, 26th June - we'll be visiting two of the best parks in the south of England, and staying over for two nights in a hotel nearby! Cue socialising over a pint of beer, a tasty dinner and good (often theme park related) chat! We have removed Chessington from the 2016 South meet and replaced it with Paultons, following a bad experience at Chessington in 2015.

Please confirm your attendance here!

I'll be there. After all it is South! :D Looking forward to doing Paultons this year!
 
@RussellH, @bluesonichd and myself will be there, and more than likely will be eating at the evening restaurants.

We'll be doing Chessie on the Saturday instead of Paultons but will be doing Thorpe on the Sunday with everyone. We are also booked in at Basingstoke Travelodge... for the sosche 'n' all that.

:D
 
I'll be there and I believe Dave will be too. I'm especially excited to return to a childhood haunt of mine (since Paultons was one of my first parks) but I won't help grumbling about how they retired Percy the Owl...

He was a HOOT HOOT.

 
I'll be at Thorpe but not Paultons due to a clash with TST Crystal Maze. Full plans TBC
 
I'll be there for all of this - very much looking forward to it!

:)
 
Might go Thorpe, but it's a big treck and close to the Scandinavia trip so depends if I can afford it.
 
I would be interested in going to see how Paultons Park has developed since my first and only visit 9 years ago, but alas I'm at Glastonbury

Very interested in doing the full weekend for this, if I can sort transport and accom and if work don't need me that weekend! Might be difficult to get the time off, will have to see.
 
Change of plan, I'll do the full weekend pending car share (can drive or be passenger) and accommodation.
