Here are the details for Saturday February 5th.

We have the Johnson Bar all to ourselves in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street from 7pm to 11pm

As its a private party under-18s are allowed (and OAPS for free if accompanied by both grandparents!!). Here's a link with a review:

To see the room look on this site and choose bars then "Johnson Bar" (why am I amused by Johnson? I think it's The Big Lebowski):

And here's how to get there:

U&st=2&pc=EC4A+2BU&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf

As its a room to ourselves, we'll be able to hear anyone doing a quiz so if there are any takers go for it. I've written about 50 quizzes but they are all of a general/pub quiz type and not sci-fi. I can't really write one either because my knowledge of sci-fi doesn't extend much further than wanting to napalm Ewoks and remove them from existence.

Let me know if you're coming along.

I'm there, and looking for as many people as possible to help celebrate my ?????th birthday on the 6th.

General knowledge quiz is fine by me - I love doing quizzes, and please don't let the fact that I'm a member of MENSA put anyone else off doing the quiz!

I know the Cheshire Cheese very well, it's the oldest continuously running pub in London, in fact in England I believe. I also work in the legal profession, and it's directly opposite the Law Courts, so I've been there a few times.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 5th.

Claz,

Very sorry, I wanted to be there but my wife now has to be out for the weekend so I'm home with the kids.

If it were just my eldest I'd bring her along but I don't think the little ones would get much out of it.

I'm sure all will have a good time, I'll be thinking of you all.

No problems.

Family comes first.

Any browncoats from Nottingham here? They tend in that fair city to bang on about how old their public house tradition is, and Ye Olde Jerusalem was certainly dusty enough last time I checked.

Always curious to find new old pubs...

As this thread has been inactive for a while, I'm just checking that the London Shindig is still on for 5th February, to help me celebrate my birthday???

I think I'll come - assuming I can organise it. I won't know anyone but its fun to meet random people. It just happens that I'm in London on business on Friday and Monday so this is an excuse to stay there over the weekend.

Anyone fancy doing touristy things on Saturday or Sunday? I'd like to go to the Science Museum and maybe some shopping too.

Shindig is definitely on. I was going to post a reminder tomorrow.

Quiz is organised, might even be a prize for first and last place.

Guess I know which prize I'll win then!!

Is there going to be a special prize for me and the other person who are having our birthday that weekend??

I'll try and line up a male companion for you.

Can people try and let me know if they're coming along?

I'll try and remember to bump this to the top next week.
