Meet-Up! (UK)

Postby ljoekelsoey4 » Thu May 03, 2012 3:52 am

i think it would be a great idea for us all to meet up before pre-orientation :D giving the geopgraphical size of the UK i dont think its really possible for us ALL to meet, plus wa can do that at pre-orientation anyway. Im flying from edinburgh so would anybody else from edinburgh want to get together for a drink or some food or just a chat before hand? date preferences?

I was also thinking this could be a nice idea but I'm a long way from Edinburgh! Hopefully the 2 days in London, 12-13th July will be a good chance for people to get to know fellow JETs a bit better :)

If there's anyone in Lancaster or Newcastle, then I'd love to meet up- maybe after we've got our placements?

Last year, about 30 of us went to the pizza express the evening before the London orientation and it was class. Defo recommend organising something, it was a nice thing to do even just to calm down pre-pre-orientation nerves and to meet the other people who's lives had been flipped upside topsy-turvy by this whole JET thing.

Anyhow, I'm off to Hiosaki today to try and catch the last of the cherry blossoms!

yeh i dont think an entire UK meet up is really feasable tbh, probs best stickin to departure city, then we can have a big meet up in london for pre-orientation!

Sounds like a swish idea. I'm living in east london at the moment so if anyone would care to meet up in a few weeks time I'd be game :)
