Google hangout/Skype 'meet ups'

I've been itching to meet fellow Makie enthusiasts and see others up close, but with my son still being quite young. I don't feel like I'm able to travel just yet so I was wondering if people would be interested in having video meet ups using Google Hangout or Skype?

I personally would prefer Google Hangout as I only have access to Skype from my desktop, which I don't usually get access to until late in the evening once my son is in bed for about an hour, but I can do either depending on majority.

I apologise in advance if I seem awkward I'm quite shy at first

I'm down for that, sounds fun :p maybe a weekend to try and maximise everything

Yeah I have weekends off so that works for me. Might not happen for another week or so currently sorting house/moving furniture so bit busy

Sounds like fun, I'd be willing to give it a try. ^_^

Although I haven't a clue what Skype is, nor how you do it.

However, Google Hangout sounds pretty self explanatory, so I could probably figure that one out.

Are either or both of them accessible/do-able from an iPad? If so, that would be great, and much easier for me since I do most of my web surfing, forum browsing, etc. on my iPad.

I think that would be cool to. I also have a young son so I this would be awesome way to meet other Makies lovers. I hope that I can be able to join the fun as well.
