Default Does the Britmovie forum ever meet?

I used to belong to a website for my car - the Nissan 350Z. They used to hold regular meetings for their members – though I never attended because although their forum was useful, I can’t really talk cars.

So I was wondering, do members of the Brit forum ever meet up and talk films?

I have met a couple of forum members and they didn't appear to be mad axe-murderers...though as Bats would probably be able to tell us, you can't judge a mad axe-murderer by their cover.

No, really. A few of us have probably met up at screenings or other film related events. I know I've met a few people who are Britmovie members. But with over 5,000 members around the world it would be hard to get everyone to meet up in one place - cyberspace is often the best place to meet

If there was a scheduled event then I'd certainly be interested....

Me neither, but if they did I would probably be too shy to turn up unless one of the favourite topics was invited as guest speaker (Jenny Agutter).

Likewise, but Steve Crook has a beard and Bats supports Chelsea so I should really avoid those unsavoury types.

You don't want to worry about that Donna - people here seem to like you for who you are - not what you 'know'...anyway, we are all experts on different stuff..


I have never met anyone on a forum. I normally stay completely anonymous. On another forum I post on - this upset a few people that I had become very friendly with and I was sad about that. But I enjoy having somewhere to go that is separate from my 'real life'. It adds a pleasant extra dimension - free from a certain amount of responsibility. I don't know if I'll ever change my mind or whether anyone would want to anyway. I suppose, the question for all of us, given the above description, is whether Steve crook is going to be there..

Is that a hint?

I've just arrived home from a fantastic time with the gorgeous Jenny. I'll have to wait until I get down off Cloud 9 before I post about it though [the censored version ]. Be some time around Christmas, I expect

All the best

But if I am there will that make you want to go, or want to stay away?

At the moment the only one I know I'll definitely be at is our annual A Canterbury Tale location walk on 31 August. There are some BritMovie members who have been on those in the past.
