Venue suggestions in the comments please - especially from venues themselves, if you’d like to host.

On the Agenda

  • Postergate. How to spread the word without getting in trouble
  • Choosing categories. We’re nearly there - just a couple of suggestions to weigh up.
  • Answering any questions about forum features and direction
  • The plan for commercial, charity and political posts.

Not sure of dates yet, but wouldn’t it make sense to choose The Capitol for this one at least?

Capitol sounds good to me for one at least.

This sounds like fun… I can only do the 24th at the moment but if I can’t make this one, then definitely another one…

17th or 30th for me, I have the London to Brighton ride on the weekend of the 24th/25th
Happy to have a little gathering just for drinks and a chat before then. Nothing too formal :slight_smile:

I will be in Forest Hill tonight. Could meet in the Signal for a casual drink, say, 7:30 if you or anyone else is around. @thirstforwine, @Pauline too?

I should pay more attention to threads. I thought this thread was about a meet up in June.
Last night was not June :disappointed:

I’ve added a few conversation starters (“agenda” seems a bit formal to me) for the next meetup - see post #1 above.

It’s a wiki post so feel free to add to the agenda as you see fit.

I want to choose a date that admin @thirstforwine and moderator @anon64893700 are both able to make so let’s choose either the 17th or 30th. Also would be great to meet @Michael and @Londondrz in real life after all the online conversations.

Has a date been decided yet guys?

A staff member from The Capitol popped in the other day & I asked if we could reserve a table/tables for the next meet up & yes we can, so when the dates decided I’ll do this :slight_smile:

Not sure on @anon5422159 feeling on The Capitol, we met there the other night and it was quite a lot busier than it had been on my previous visits. Not sure how much we will achieve being there. Not that it’s bad, just a little noiser than our last location.
Still hope I guess.

If another local venue is needed we can do Sylvan, Signal, Perryvale, The Hill etc & I’ll still be able to book a space guys @anon64893700 @anon5422159 @thirstforwine just let me know x
