How first Meet-Up impacted me

Hello my local fellas wishing you all a great week

Being a local guide is writing honest review, posting proper photos and accessibility information that makes you good local guide.
After being on a meet -up i realized there is so many other things you can learn if you have an amazing lg friends.

I was really eager to meet all my lg friends with whom I was in touch only on connect where we use to interact only on each other post.

World was battling through COVID and it was very tough for everyone to move out and to travel at a mutual destination. Many of the lg’s tried including me to set a meet-up but it wasn’t successful. After a very long wait we got a hope and look like we got a chance of making this happen.

The major role was played by our connect moderator @NareshDarji . I believe if he wouldn’t be there i guess this meet up would never happened. He really took a great initiative and manage everything really well.

The meet-up was going to held in Gujarat and I live in Mumbai. So I had to traveled nearly 500 km that is like 7-hrs journey via train. I dint want to give a second thought I just booked my train ticket and was ready to be a part of this meet -up.

Firstly we all met at the meeting point We had a delicious lunch together. We all wore a same local guide t-shirt and did photo shoot.

We started our meet- up towards science city we already had booked an online ticket so we took a direct access to the entry gate.

As science city has 12 things to explore it takes nearly 2 days to complete the whole tour. so we decided to take tour of 2 major attractions that’s aquatic gallery and robotics gallery.

Tips how to organised a successful Grand Meet -Up.

I have took a lot of tips from** @NareshDarji **how to make a successful Meet -up. He explained me how to organised each and everything. What are the important points we need to take care.

Accessibility Tips
As one of our Guiding star** @Tejal **Ben really gave a good knowledge on accessibility. She is also an accessibility champion. It was really great to learn how we should add all the accessibility points.

Photo Tips
One of our senior and the oldest lg @TravellerG was present in this meet up. As we all know his post and story are always been amazing on connect. He has organised en-number of virtual meet-ups on photo shoot. I really got a lot of tips on Photo shoot.

There are many other stories i have carried from this meet-up. The most important thing is we enjoyed this meet-up like we know each other from very long time and we really dint felt we all met for the 1st time.

Thank you so much for making this meet -up wishing all my local fellas to meet you soon.

Happy Guiding
