View Full Version : Moving the day of the SelKent meets...?
Is there any chance that the Selkent meets could be moved to Tuesdays? I know its been raised before but now that summer is coming I'm booked on Wednesdays (unless its raining) until October and I still really really want to come along to the Selkent meets.
I would even ride over on Phantom!

As I said last night, I cant see this happening
That would work for me too...
Neither can I... I think generally everyone's pretty happy with the Wednesday meet, or certainly was when it was mentioned before.
It's not like it's every week! It may be possible to get it a week out of sinc if it's clashing with something you're up to Kate.

hey we could always start a rebelion and ask for a new group :D the surrey massive?
Don't care Tuesday night the other half watches Holby city, so I wouldn't be missing much. You could always turn up to one of the Essex boys meets, they are meeting on Fridays now.
sexysi
hehehe, Surrey Slackers? :twisted:
I know its a bit cheeky to ask, and its unlikely to happen but I figured you never get anything unless you ask.
Problem is, if its sunny on a Wednesday evening, I'm booked. I would be able to get out of it every now and again but not on a regular basis.
Damn, I hate it when skating and biking clashes!

are you crazy, I wanna go for a ride on sundays, amd not to mention I like a lie in so no to sundays!
We had this exact problem with the essex meets, we had a few rideout regulars who could never make wednesdays, so on a trial basis we're trying fridays....
I can't see the selkent meet moving as its pretty well established now
I wouldn't want to change it to Tuesdays - I am a great fan of Holby City too.
Tuesdays have always been been a great night for telly - ever since the days of Michael Elphick's 'Boon'.

cant you tape it?
Boon young man, Boon.
Mid / late eighties - basically consisted of Michael Elphick (recently seen in Eastenders as Kat Slater's Paodophile uncle - before the actor died anyway) and a mulleted (and very young) Neil Morrisey riding about on motorbikes - i think they were dispatch riders or something similar.
Had a great theme tune.

I seem to remember you showing a keen interest in skating too, so its just a matter of time before you start doing the street skates so you won't be able to make Wednesdays either!
How about Mondays?

sexysiInline skating/Blading basically skating as fast as you can around london. Its a bit like a rideout but with more of a buzz
Okay... so why do you have to go skating *every* Wednesday?
The Wednesday meet nicely breaks up the week for most of us, it marks the downhill point of the week!
SelKent is not restrictive, it only meets once a fortnight... which allows most people plenty of freedom to do other things around it, and in the week inbetween.
Hey just a thought as a compromise for all of us who want to keep it on a wednesday and those who want it on a tuesday...
how about doing an alternation ie meet one wednesday then the next meet is a fortnight on the tuesday then a fortnight on the wednesday etc?

Guys, it's an organised night skate for hundreds of skaters, so it's not possible to move the day. It carries on until the end of September. See more info here
www.londonskate.com
Both me and Kate are marshalls so atendance is kinda required of both of us. Which is why I didn't come to the meet last week. If the meet stays on Wednesdays, chances are I'll only make one or two this summer.
but then those of us with things on tuesdays dont get to go either...
hence my suggestion if it comes down to it for alternating every fortnight so we ALL get to go sometime...

fine in theory but would get confusing after a while... was gonna alternate essex ones between wednesday and friday but not worth it..
or failing that since most of the skaters seem to be near to it why not go to the guilford massive meets?
then you get to go to a meet at some point... again just another thought to try and accomodate everyone...

Lol. TSM, you are welcome to go on the FNS if you so wish, unfortunately that isn't possible for me.
John and I are involved in the organisation of the LondonSkate, its not something we can just drop, we are responsible for keeping safe a few hundred people and can't just not turn up.
Personally, I like Lynw's idea, that way it would be possible for me to make it as it would be one skate a month that I would miss and I would be able to plan ahead and arrange cover.
Guildford isn't really a possibility for me as I have absolutely no idea where it is except it isn't particularly close by.
I like lyn's idea as well.
I know we have hard core members that come to every other Wednesday, but there are several people that can't make Wednesday at all and going by the poll at least 7. These people are missing out on the Selkent experience, Is this fair, well maybe not. So maybe a compromise is due. That way the hard core members could meet new faces and the newer members could join in on the experience.
After all we often start a poll up a week before about who's coming or not, so we will always know when the meet is on. When's the next meet :shock:
As for stuff on tele, If know-one has got a Video/Dvd/or any other recorder, I'm sure one of the members can record the program and then tell them about it on the forum :lol: :wink: The following day.
Is tele that important!!!!!
sexysi
My only point is that SelKent is conveniently placed on Wednesdays, and was put there to keep it away from the early week, and not to interfere with the Soho meet on Fridays.
It only happens every other week which isn't a huge commitment, and is long standing enough for people to have planned around it for over a year.
So are you saying you have to marshal every week for this skating thing?
No not at all, not everybody skates. Some people pick up their kids etc, wash their hair, you know. Just that look at the poll over half would prefer Tuesday, so Why not compromise. Or are you a closet Holby fan and you want to sit in with Helen and not miss an episode.
sexysi
So are you saying you have to marshal every week for this skating thing?
Pretty much, yes. We have to have a certain number of marshals and the bigger the skate the more marshalls that are required. The marshals all have tasks to do for example I'm a back marshal, of which there are usually only 2 and I'm responsible for ensuring vehicles such as taxi's, don't drive into the skaters at the back of the skate. If I didn't turn up then someone would have to cover my place and we would be a marshal down.
A compromise would be great and I'm happy to go with the consensus, its just that if it stays on Wednesdays I won't be able to appear very often and nor will a few others.
Is tele that important!!!!! sexysi
er no... dont have one, not getting one either... everything I watch is downloaded onto my pc... and will get a projector eventually...
and the tuesday shouldnt really make too much of a difference... and it would allow those who cant come on the wednesday...
and its not just Kate and Thor, Dawn has said in the past Wednesdays are difficult for her... so there are some that cant make it...
I just thought a compromise would be better than having people excluded until the winter....
but whatever gets decided, the old adage applies... you cant please all of the people all of the time... because theres always going to be someone who cant come no matter what day gets decided... :?

1) The poll hasn't been up for 2 hours, so we shouldn't draw conclusions from the early votes - that are likely by the people most interested in moving to Tuesday.
2) I can't stand Holby City, and Casualty is a load of rubbish too (ever since Claire Goose left ;) ), and don't even mention ER. Scrubs is quite amusing though :lol:
3) Helen's very welcome to watch any of the hospital dramas, but is fully aware that I will amuse myself with something else while she does (no wise cracks or misquotes - thank you).
4) Helen doesn't have a video recorder, so can't record, or view what she missed on Tuesday. Poor girl! :cry:

Having said all of this, when Selkent started up 2 years ago "As the Oakdene Massive/Oakie Dokes" we were meeting in the Spring/Summer every week. This would leave us open to running a every other Wedneday/Tuesday meet. But every week. I know the poll is very young, we shall see in a couple of days.

Bloody well done :thumbsup: ... losing weight by diet alone is one of the hardest things! And losing a stone is a significant achievement. Good for you!
Not all chocolate is bad though, so there is hope for your desires. High cocoa, plain chocolate is quite low in fat - which is why most British chocolate is bad for you. In fact, probably contains less sugar than the fruit smoothies you're now on!
I've put on a stone since last year... mostly noticeable in muscle loss and expanded waistline... time to adopt radical strategies again! :evil:

weird diet but it came out of a book which linked sugar sensitivity to depression. And it seems to be helping with that too... :lol:

Yes they are, but the implication is that people who would prefer to move the meet to Tuesdays are creating new accounts just to be able to vote.
I resent the implications and yes I guess I am a little touchy about it. I posted the query because I enjoy going to the Selkent meets and would like to continue being able to attend during the summer months. If the meets stay on Wednesday then fair enough, just means I and a few others will not be there.
Kate. don't worry about it, If say next week we have a meeting on wednesday, then afterwards I will stick up a poll about, if anyone wants to come down on the following Tuesday, I will be there as I don't like Holby and I don't mind meeting every week, After all Soho meet every week, even through the winter. Can't see the problem in this :wink:

So consider my other compromise..... have you checked that link?
It was basically if the meets are every week in summer, keep the fortnightly wednesdays and have fortnightly tuesdays in between...
then everyone who can go on a wednesday can still go and you and the others who cant go can go every tuesday fortnightly...
Surely that has to be the simplest compromise all round?
By the way, I have not re-registered. I have had a "shell" login for ages, Anyone remember the post about left handed bikes etc etc.
I havn't voted on the poll twice either.

Sounds good to me :thumbsup:
Sounds good to me :thumbsup:
was that to the compromise no 2? lol
btw is your skating thing only over the summer? Im assuming this is only a summer problem which isnt really a major problem if we compromise... and therefore not a problem in the winter...
Either compromise is good for me - the alternating Tuesday - Wednesday or weekly Tuesday - Wednesday :)
Yeah, the skating season is April to October so during winter it doesn't conflict, whcih is why I've been at most of the Selkent meetings recently!
We seem to shutdown at winter as we have to ride out to the countryside and it's colder, I don't mind coming every week on different days, I suppose the best way to find out is to post 2 polls.
1) For next wednesday
2) For the following Tuesday.
