December London meet-up(s)

[SternSwiss]

Here is the current update of who is up for some wild OP66 time in December In London

Week-end of the 18th-19th has just been fixed

Date: 3.11.09

Those who told here, on the chat during games or via pm that they were up for it:

69kindagal
backdoorbetty
bazultra
cherrypie
crinkle62
cuddycat
future2112
sa11y69
saladdodger
sternswiss
stjimmy
telboy
tiddlyw1nk (only on 19th)
ucme
yeoman


They said they would try, do their best or would love to and will see what they can arrange (harass them if you meet them on the tables!):

deanreaves66
jockney (about to be promoted in the list above)
roo27
tb1rd
theguvnor



Problematic Dates:

11th (stern)
16th (Happy b-day miss yeo!)

Stern arrives on 6th and is in London until 30th



Additional Information

The first date we propose is firday the 18th of December.

Telboy has y confirmed that we can gather at his social club in South London on this date (see below for all the goodies that will be so generously offerded). We were afraid we would have to leave "early", but that agreed on keeping us in lockdown until 2 or 3 am... if we behave (which I hope is possible).

Those who come from afar (or that love the gang so much) can gather on saturday too, for some London browsing and/or for the evening. We might want to rent an hotel function room or do something else.


Invite your friends and pass the word around!!


Tel can arrange cards, chips, some free food, music, dancefloor, etc. for as many as would like to join, so it is shaping up fantastic. Thank you so much, m8.

69kindagal has very nicely offered to help people to arrange for an hotel / b.b., for those who will need one. Thanks a lot, hunny!

It all looks good.

I am so happy about the idea of finally meeting some of my best friends here!

I will regularly update this part of the thread so as to facilitate lateral contacts, give incentive to others to join and keep a log of problematic dates, so as to make final arrangement(s) smoother.


If I have forgotten you after chatting on tables, no offense, it 's my pre-alzheimer: just post here or pm me. Also if you become sure you want to join, or if sadly you can't anymore, etc.

Below is my original OP





HI all


As I have privately told to some of my friends here, I am going to sepnd most of the month of December in London.

I will be arriving the 6th and will be there until the 30th.

Now, tel, sally and betty already mentioned they would love to meet-up, have good times and perhaps play some.

So anyone interested is more than welcome to post on this thread, and then we will see what we can organize.

I will be working hard form the 6th to the 17th, but still can meet (I will likely have to go to Cardiff on the 11th).

From 17th eve onwards I am just leisurely staying around to enjoy the city.

Hope to have great times with you, great people.

Love,
Stern

nice one stern,
you dont say where your staying but the tube train can get you about easily
my local social club can give us some music and food free of charge but will need a date to sort it out,im in southfields area of london which is close to wimbledon but dont mind traveling,would be nice to meet up with you stern and any others close to london,the only thing i cant sort is somewhere for all to sleep but if some are interested im sure they can find b b or hotels cheap

[SternSwiss]

I am staying in Hackney, where one of my closest friend lives.

I can move around town, of course. Thanks for the generous social club invitation.

Looking forward a lot to meet you m8!

Excellent, m8. It would be great.

With all mentioned + Baz and perhaps jockney (who told me he would try) that could be an anthology poker night.

We are going to keep seeing who is interested for a while and then, perhaps mid-november, start trying to organize the best for most.


Actually, I am going to also post that in the beginning of the thread and update it regularly.
