Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 A big Hello to Aastha `90 and Ram `97. It looks like everything's going according to schedule for The First UK MGIMS Meet. Boy , am I excited ! I am also sure that this meet would be great fun. Dear Saranya aand Ayesha, any specific dress code ? My guess regarding the venue -- either Oxford or Sheffield. Wherever the venue is, we need not worry regarding directions. There is a website named greenflag.co.uk --- Just type in the starting and the destination postcode. Lo and behold ! you will have a step by step direction accompanied by a map. To locate a place , use multimap.co.uk PS : This is not an advert !!! Ravi `91.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Actually Ravi- AA route map and multimap are very good too. PS looks like some one is jumping the gun re dress code- what if there is only you,me, Saranya, Ayesha and of course Aastha?? I woudl love Oxford personally- less travel time but am game for any place that makes it easier for the organisers.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 To all UK MGIMS alumni, Kindly get in touch with Ayesha. Her tel. no. is displayed in one of her previous messages.Or e-mail Saranya. I hope I don't sound pushy.....But earlier the better. Because booking arrangements for a place can be made. October may turn out to be a crunch time if all good places are booked. Regarding time of the meet, it should not be a problem. It need not necessarily be lunch time, as Sadhana has mentioned. I have driven to London a couple of times and it does take a good 4 hours to get to M18 (Sheffield / Doncaster) from the South, especially on a weekend. Are you all happy with the date ? I presume Ayesha and Saranya hear a " YES " ......... Depending on the arrival time of our MGIMS alumni crowd, the time can be amended to anywhere between 1400 hrs to 1700 hrs. Ayesha has been working hard to get in touch with everyone here.It seems that many people,listed on the MGIMS UK Alumni ,do not check their E-mails regularly.Ayesha has e-mailed to quite a lot of people but there was hardly any reply. So please folks, if you contact her it will be of great help.Don't forget to mention your ETA ( Expected Time of Arrival)!! Regarding the date, 23rd October Saturday is tentative. Lets all go by general consensus ,regarding the date. I cannot emphasise more on the importance of verbal communication. Once our Organiser has a confirmed list, a statistical analysis could be done to fix a date as well as a time. One more thing , a quick guide to reach Sheffield from various directions. 1)From South : A1 is the best. So its A1 - A57- M1 junct 33. 2)From Birmingham, Coventry : M6-M42 or M6-M69 -- M1 junct 33. 3)From West : M60 -- M67 -- A628---A616---A61 4)From North : Lake District/ Glasgow : M6 - then join from west route. 5)From North : Edinburgh : A1 - M18 - M1 junct 32 6)From Leeds : M1 - junct 33 7)From East : M62 - M18 - junct 32 - M1 junct 33 Personally, If I was travelling from North, I would prefer a train journey. Sheffield is one of the North South mainline junctions. So plenty of trains available, even on a weekend. If you are driving, you'd better install a radar device !! What for......?? .................. ................. .................. ................. TO EVADE THE SPEED CAMERAS !!!! Ravi`91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thanx for the directions, but ... From London, I think M1 is the best and the shortest with no speed cameras. When we go to Harrow/ Wembley, we join M1 at junction 4 or junction 5. It takes around 3 hrs driving at a speed of 75 miles an hr. A1 is definetely a longer route from london to sheffield than M1 becos A1 is more to the west. I have checked it with Great Britain A- Z road map and also with www.greenflag.co.uk. What do u say Ravi?? Ayesha '96 > > To all UK MGIMS alumni, > > Kindly get in touch with Ayesha. Her tel. no. is displayed in one of > her previous messages.Or e-mail Saranya.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Full points to you , Ayesha. The directions given were based on my personal driving experiences. M1 is faster, but very very unpredictable regarding when you will get stuck on the motorway. When you are stuck on M1, then you remain stuck on M1 for hours and hours. A1 , though it may be longer, is pure driving pleasure.Traffic is much less compared to M1. If you are aware of where the speed cams are, then you can cruise on A1 . I have never seen vehicles stalled on this road. The A1 is more towards East (age, borough, Nottingham, Grantham), and not west. You can check the maps again. It extends right upto Edinburgh via Leeds / Newcastle on the east coast. M1 is central and M40-M6 is west. Ravi`91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes Ravi u are right..that's what I wanted to write..EAST..but by mistake I wrote WEST.. U have a point there..M1 can be troublesome with long tail-backs but usually on Friday evenings, Monday morning office rush hours and on bank holidays. But whatever ur prefreerd route, pls check with the traffic and travel news on the radio, b4 embarking on the journey. I DONT CARE IF U COME BY FOOT, CAMEL, HORSE, SHIP, AIRPLANE, JET OR HOT AIR BALLOON..BUT PLS COME AND PLS LET ME KNOW IF U ARE COMING.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Dear Ayesha, I have informed Suresh and Agam (1985) today about our meet. He will give you a call soon. Let us leave the date and venue for open discussion from our UK alumni, like Aastha has mentioned. General Consensus sound good to me ie. vote of the majority. So please , this a repeated request to all our folks in UK to get in touch with Ayesha, so that a date and venue can be decided according to what the majority prefer. To be more truthful, the organiser's job is a difficult one. Its not the same as arranging a picnic to Mahakaali dam or Bhor Dharan. If the majority vote for Leicester, then the venue needs to be booked quite early. We all know that Leicester is a small India within the UK. Everyone will be celebrating various functions & religious festivities. If we get late in deciding the date/venue, then all the good places are bound to go for a six. If its not Leicester, then the organiser + you can decide. SO: DON'T LET OUR EXPECTATIONS FALL, GRAB THE RINGER, AND GIVE AYESHA A CALL.. PS. Leicester has good punjabi food. PPS. O' Saranya, Where art thou ? PPPS. Which Batch in MGIMS has gone for the maximum number of picnics, I mean the whole batch and not discrete groups. ? Can anyone please fill me ?
