I've noticed that a few polycounters I know are going to Animex at Teesside, Middlesbrough this year, and I thought it would be a good idea to have a meetup! This would also be great for Northerners who can't afford to come down to London, but still want to meet some fellow polycounters!
Animex Game takes place over Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th February. Monday night is apparently the networking night, so we could meet up on Tuesday night and maybe have a meal and some drinks!
I'll make a list of people who are going to come below, and keep it updated;
SCBTeessider
MrsNomingtons
Harford

If people are stuck for accommodation there are some cheaper options, and some Teessiders who could help point you in the right direction!
Also if you can afford it, I'd highly recommend going to the London meetup. I went last year, and it was great fun and I met some awesome people

Don't think I'll be able to get the time off work to go - might be able to sweet-talk my way into one of the parties for a night, though, I'll see...
Like SCB said there are a lot of accommodation options but the longer you leave booking the less cheap they will be!
I'll try and keep this updated with details of where to meet closer to the time, but if anyone wants to swap numbers feel free to PM me. If you know Teessiders like Shiv and Teessider I'm sure they can keep you informed when something's happening!
Anyway, looking forward to seeing you all there!

Would probably be a good idea to meet up at on of the talk buildings after the talks before heading because some people might want to head to one of the other places.
The polycount meetup was a success! It was great getting to know you guys, and I will hopefully see some of you down in London!
From left to right there's; SoulWind, Shiv, GameSAMinations, cheese cake, MrsNomingtons, SCB, and Teessider. Sloth452 was also here, but came a bit late. Hopefully he'll get his photo opportunity if he makes it to London!
