Buses or taxis
You can get a taxi or blag a lift from the central bus station. The Booker/Lane End one (032A) is most likely to be the best choice.

You either want the Turnpike Corner West stop or the Lansdell Avenue Stop. The Judo Centre is in Barry Close, High Wycombe, HP12 4UE

Rail
The station (with trains roughly every 20 mins) is on the Birmingham to Marylebone line, so you can get intercity to one of those locations (or Banbury) and then switch.

Size, shape, sex, fitness and flexibility aren't a requirement. Come and meet the people you talk to online and see them in a different light.

We look forward to seeing you there.​

 

The Just Giving page is up and running and I've made the first donation.

You have loads of time, but make the donation now.

Donation is for the Saturday MAP Meet only.

 

The awesome just got more awesome.

Smurf returns to the mats and will be teaching a session.

 

Awareness is what it's all about and hopefully you'll get answers to your questions.

Do it. Make the donation and tell the world you are coming.

 

Sadly I can't make it this year....

Sorry not to be able to meet you in person Hannibal

 

Some information on EDS.



If you can get off your butt and attend you'll have attended something really special.

If you can't make it please do make a donation. Even a small amount really can make a difference.

I'll do some live streaming, so you'll get the chance to see the sessions you'd want to witness if you were there.

You really can make a difference.

Dan made a difference and the 2017 MAP Meet was in his memory.

 

If you ever can make it, there would be space in my home for you to stay. It would be the least I can do to help out a long time MAPper. and I always look forward to making new friends

 

It would be great to see you again if you can make it Folks here might be able to help with accommodation and travel if it will help keep your costs down

It would be great to see you there if you could make it Ned
