Official MAP Meet 2012

Heh..got seperated by some lights but I hoped you'd seen the signs for the M1 by then.

Cheers guys really enjoyed the day. Really nice to meet nice people (that are often so different from how you imagine them online).
Found some great stuff to take home and ruminate over. And also got a nice crop of bicep bruises from Simon and some bruised forearms from Bassai as a nice reminder of the day. Such nice guys.
MAJOR props to Mitch for organising things and the instructors for donating their time. Apologies if others helped out but it seems like Mitch's baby so he gets the pat on the back for delivering it.

 

That's a very polite way of saying "Thanks PASmith for abandoning us in Nottingham... but luckily we were able to find our way back to the M1 without you!"

But seriously, I'd like to echo what Lorelei said. What a great afternoon training!

Ok, so I've got a ginormous purple bruise on my right arm (in the shape of Mike Flanagan's hand) and my wrist has swollen up into a rather strange shape, but I really enjoyed myself, and I think I learnt a few things too (apart from just what a few more MAP'ers look like behind their avatars.)

My only regrets are that it wasn't longer, and that I couldn't try every single demo due to clashes. But I'd like to add my thanks to everyone who kindly gave up their time to teach us, to Mitch for organising it, and to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable event.

Can we please make it a regular thing?

 

What a bunch of reprobates ...........SorryI coudnt make it I was at a wedding ....guess where I wanted to be !!!!

 

nice to meet the guys (and girls) off here. Thanks to mitch for organising everything, and thanks to simon for taking the first class! Good day was had by all i think and its good we raised money for a good cause and got to have fun at the same time.

Next time Zaad i promise i will suplex you

 

You can see what a hard day's training it was by how bow-legged some of the people on the front row look.

:whistle:

I can't help it if I've got ginormous hands.

I won't take the credit for that one.

But I probably will for that one, if its up near the elbow, if it was you I bashed on the forearm for a takedown.

Moving swiftly on...I thought it was a great day. A good opportunity to catch up with some old faces and meet some new ones. I both enjoyed and got something out of all the sessions I took. My only regret was that I couldn't do everything.

Again soon please Mitch!

Mike

 

Finally made it home.

It was great to meet some more Mappers. I really enjoyed training with both familiar and new faces. The classes I tried were great fun and really interesting. Mitch's mankini was the showstopper though.

 

Hi All,

Thanks - lots of ideas to play with. Enjoyed it and only regrets are that it wasn't all day and that I couldn't stay for food and chat afterwards...

Next time can't come soon enough...

 

Duly noted!

Wish I could've made it.

Next time!!!

 

Um guys.
I totally forgot that Steve was supposed to be there...
He didn't get the wrong weekend did he?

 

Mitch destroyed me, Robbie and Sampsi on Saturday night. I seem to have lost three hours.

 

Unfortunaltly I started my new job at the same time as the meet, I'm gutted to have missed the meet but needed this oppertunity. I'm now a grown up with a real job and full time hours

Sounds like you guys had an awesome time and i'm really jelous of you all! I'm going to be doing a bit of traveling around the uk soon so I'm hoping to be able to hit up map members for some training and craic in coming months.

 

Perhaps a meet in 6 months time...?!












Tenner says something will get in the way of that one, as well!!
