Hi,
this year, there was suposed to be an Autistic Prde gathering at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, and there were suposed to be rooms booked, but something happened, and it kinda "bombed" and didn't happen today.
so, to make sure this doesn't occur, we need to plan ahead, and I'm starting now (i know its a bit soon, but, well, never mind).

First thing is, what do you guys WANT to do? do you want to go round a museum? go to a park? movie maybe? just walk around?

second thing, is transport an issue? can we organise transport for people? find bus routes? train times?

What day is best for everybody? is a staterday or sunday the best time?

We all need to work together this time, as I suspect half of the reason that it fell apart this year was that all of the presure was piled onto one or two people, and if things happen with those people, it tends to fall apart, which seams to have happened here.

so, sugestions?

my sugestion is that it is somewhere cool (as in temp), with not too many people, and although a museum is a good idea, I'm not sure that everyone would take to manchester museum of science and industry.
Well Mel is coming down manchester (I live there) and AFAIK, so is Pikachu  and one other, don't know on that, but its more a goth thing.
I'm kinda a bit goth...
any other ideas for next pride day though?
it seems there are a fiew of us here...
Anyone around the manchester area fancy coming down town this coming APD? all ideas welcomeSmile


Although, if I am to be able to come down meet anyone, it would have to be before 6pm, as I'm currently on an electronic tag, and a rediculously early curfew, and heh, I really cannot be doing with another 8am visit from the filthRolleyes
I'll come ....if the meeting place is somewhere I can be comfortable in .
I'll come if I know long enough in advance.Smile
Definately, let me know if anything actually goes down this time.

Who is organising things, if anybody at the moment? I am from gunchester myself, and I would help if theres anything I can do.
