Hi to all of you who were interested in a London meetup.

The original venue pulled out, which threw me into a bit of chaos. Also, a lot of the venues I tried to book refused me because they had better offers from office parties and the like.

Anyway, I think the best solution is to organise something a little less regimented. For example, we simply meet up somewhere where we don't have to hire the room, or have a minimum bar spend or any of that nonsense.

The date will be Saturday December 4th, meeting at Trafalgar Square for the arrival of the Christmas Tree, and then onto a venue which has room for a bunch of us to meet, but won't necessarily want money for the room. (They might ask for a deposit to reserve space in case no-one turns up).

What does everyone think?

Sounds good, that day is a good one for me, cheap day return from Ipswich. And I can bring the kids (even if we have to drop out when you go to the pub). I'm really looking forward to meeting some people before Starfury: Serenity.

Hey guys!

More news about London, I have booked a room in The Griffin pub on Charing Cross road which will allow us our own private bit of the pub and mean that we don't have to trawl round the capital looking for space enough for all of us on a Saturday night. Also, they serve food til nine, so good vittles aplenty.

Hiya,

I'd love to come, I'm also a londoner. I think it sounds like a great idea

Thanks Doubleshiny, this is sounding better by the day. Now, do I wear my kinda brownish coat or the lovely new chinese embroidered jacket? Decisions, decisions.

I'm going with khaki flack jacket with chinese embroidered lining.

Best of both worlds?
