It was months in the making but after a lot of planning, hotel booking, flights, trains and buses the Ready Up crew and community diverged on London’s Trocadero Centre for some face time together, a bit of gaming and later on many boozes down the pub.
Gaming online, chatting on the forum and working on the site together means that we all know each other pretty well but it’s only when you sit down for a chat and squash together for a photo that you really bond with a person. It’s funny that in this virtual space we co-exist in we’ve spent hundreds of hours in each others company but there’s some ancient human hangover that means that eye contact and making someone smile in ‘real time’ still has great meaning for us. It’s a great benefit we have to being a UK community that we are never prohibitively far from one another. We can meet up and hug it out. We can, we have and will continue to.
Thanks to Shaz for organising this meet up, Zoey helping people out on the day and Joe for allowing us to crash the DS meet in the Horse & Groom pub. Check out the gallery below. Click on the thumbnails to see the bigger picture.
