TiBB Convention/Get together for the under 19's Summer 2008!

I was thinking about organising a TiBB Convention for the under 18's on the board. I know alot of the younger members on here have alot of friends on here around their age and I thought it would be good to have a TiBB convention. I was thinking about it being in Borehamwood and maybe going to see Big Brother's Little Brother. Any other ideas for a location please U2U me or post in this thread, because it would take so long to organise I thought that it could maybe take place sometime in Summer 2008. If you have any ideas or questions then post them here. Also i'll be looking for a few members to help me organise it, who will also be attending. U2U me if you'd like to help organise. Due to there being little or no adult supervision, the minimum age is 14 if you want to come.

UPDATE: I've put the maximum age up to 19 years.

NEW merchendise avaliable on page two!

We had a convention for all TiBB people back in 2002 in Manchester

[Callum]

I'll be 14 next year, but what is the age restriction for BBLB?

The age restriction is 16, but i've heard as long as you look 16 then they'll let you in.

[Matt]

The age restriction for BBLB is 16 i think...

[Callum]

I probally won't be able to get in then :sad:
Maybe, it could be held somewhere else.

[KKBL]

im nearly 14 and id love to come but id have to get the plane over!!!:laugh3:

[Matt08]

Any ideas people have on the location can also let me know aswell. Any ideas welcome.

[Callum]

How old is everyone?

[Matt08]

I'll be 15 and a half in Summer 2008.

[Matt]

I'll get back to you :thumbs:

[Tom4784]

I'm 17 but 18 New Years day, but there really isn't much chance of me getting to manchester to be fair, So it's kinda pointless for me to post in the thread really.......Oh well, Cheerio!

The convention probably wouldn't be in Manchester.

It's in Hertfordshire and it's where the BB house is...

Near London, I believe. I've gone off the idea of having it at Borehamwood now so any ideas on location let me know!

[Matt08]

I thought about maybe having the location somewhere in Central England because then that way it's more fair.

[Rory]

Darn, too bad I'm an American from Georgia. I'd be 15 and a few months old next summer.

[Captain.Remy]

I would be in England next summer and I will be 18 !!! :thumbs:

[Stu]

Ill be 17 next summer , id be willing to come over for a while. Flights are cheap these days.

[Sam]

I'd come, sounds great.

I agree.

If it's central then I'd be able to turn up :laugh: (PS. I'm 18).

[Sam!]

U2U me when you find out what dates you are in England next year and we could maybe organise the convention for when your over here Remy.

[Matt08]

If you want to attend the convention then give me a U2U and tell me a location that you think would be good for the convention. Plus any ideas that you may have. I was thinking that we could make a day of it, because some of you may be travelling long distances.

[Matt08]

I've had another think and I thought that maybe Birmingham or London may be a good location, mainly because there are brilliant rail links into those two cities. I also believe that alot of members on here that are 19 or under live in the South of England. London would also be a great place because there is plenty to do and lots of attractions to visit. Maybe even a trip on the London eye and visiting many of the shops and other attractions.

[Lauren]

London? Would cost me nearly £100 to get down to there return, haha.

That's a rip off!! It would only cost me about £20.00 return from Birmingham with Chiltern Railways.

[Matt08]

If the convention was in Birmingham then there's quite alot to do there aswell. There's the Bull Ring and I should imagine there's lots of other attractions aswell.

[Lauren]

Only costs me around £50 for Birmingham.

[Billy]

Awwwww Id love to come, but the only way Id be able is if it was in somewhere like Blackpool or scotland lmao

Blackpool!! Oh my god, yes.
Then we can go to the pleasure beach :laugh:

[BarryScott]

I've been using my own special brand of face cream, so I no longer look 55.

BANG! - And the wrinkles are gone!

[Princess]

I'd love to come but I'm already going to England twice this year(TT WOOOOOOOO) and with exams and everything yeah not gonna happen!

[sol]

If it was held in London or somewhere in the South then I'd come cos Southampton isn't too far from London but I dunno if my uni finances can afford anything above a £50 journey, am on a tight budget! :shocked:

[gracie24]

I'd love to come. I'm 17, but will be 18 in the summer.
Birmingham would be easier for me, would cost me £100 return to get to London on the train and not sure about petrol either.
Birmingham is much more convienient for me, but I know it wouldn't be so for other people :)

[Matt08]

After looking at people's opinions I think that the convention will be held in Birmingham. If anyone has any ideas of what we can do there then let me know, any opinions/ideas welcome. The reason for this is because Birmingham is central to everyone I think and there's good rain connections to Birmingham.

[Billy]

where is birmingham

[Bells]

I’m sure people who are perhaps saying they can’t go right now may well find they can do! I’d love to come personally – meeting up with fellow forum members sounds fun. And Birmingham’s quite convenient for me as well. I’m sure as soon as there are more details we’ll hear of them...

[Matt08]

Bumped the thread for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

[CassetteFinger]

Birmingham LONG.

[Rory]

Birmingham sounds great. I'll see you all at Birmingham...











Alabama! Just kidding.

[:)tom:)]

i would like to go but dont know if i would go 2 b ham well im turningt 14 2nd jan so ill see when we get dates in but its a great idea

[Emilee]

Ill be 16 by that time.. sounds good.

[gracie24]

The Bullring is fantastic, very much a public place obvoiusly if anybody is worried about anything like that.
Plenty of shops, great food places and there is a nice open are between the two parts of the centre which would be convienient.
Loads of car parking spaces and the train drops you virtually next to the shopping centre. :)

[Matt08]

Yeh, Snow Hill Train Station is a stones throw away, literally. I was thinking that the meeting point, where we could all meet on the day could be The Bullring. I live about 45 minutes away from Birmingham (train journey away)
There's also Digbeth Coach Station for anyone who wants to come on National Express coaches. If your coming from abroad then there's always Birmingham International Airport (BHX).

Some brand new Convention 2008 Merchendise will be coming soon including a new logo, sig, and avatar!

[Matt08]

Convention Update
Just a little update on the progress of the Convention organsing.

1. The location of the convention will be in Birmingham. The main reasons for this is the good rail and transport connections and Birmingham being fairly central to everyone.

2. The convention will be held on 12th July 2008. The meeting place will be at Snow Hill Train Station or Moor Street Train Station, Birmingham. Time to be confirmed. We will probably go to the Bullring and do a few other 'teenagery' things.

We have some brand new merchendise for you to use:

Yep, they're brilliant if you want to make something modern and appealing.

[Lauren]

July 12th I'll have been 19 for 18 days :sad: Can I still come?

[Matt08]

Yeh, it's for 19 years and under. I wouldn't want to leave you out Lauren.

[Lauren]

Aw thanks :bigsmile: Sounds like it's gonna be fun!

[Matt08]

Yeh it hopefully will be, it'll be a brilliant chance for us to meet up with all of our TiBB mates that we've met over the year(s).

UPDATE
Anyone who'd like to come please U2U me and i'll give you the full details about the convention. I hope that we'll have plenty of you there to experience a brilliant day that you'll remember forever.
