Exactly how I feel!

ShotsFired · 04/12/2018 17:01

I prefer riverside because broad street always seems a bit dangerously deserted. There's always life in and around riverside.

JellySlice · 04/12/2018 16:57

Broad st or Riverside carpark?

ShotsFired · 04/12/2018 16:56

In fact I can see the venue from where I sit and can report that all is quiet. Not a soul or any obvious plotting nearby.

Obviously there may be blue hair hidden under woolly hats etc Wink

I am about 30 seconds away as I type! Just finishing a quick drink and then I'm heading over!

Grin at Hefzi's mum

Hefzi · 04/12/2018 15:39

My DM is going (and I didn't even tell her about it) - she thinks MN is the tool of the devil, but if anyone spots a super-annuated hippy looking a bit vague, that's her. DF wanted to go too (he's chuffed to have been called a TERF) but my mother told him that he wasn't welcome as "women need their own spaces" HmmGrin

Envious of all of you going - have a great time.

I have to apologise in advance as I will be the one yawning. DD had me up at silly oclock and have been outside working all day. I know as soon as I sit down I'll be yawning away Blush

I cant wait, especially as I missed the Basingstoke meeting. Just trying to work logistics of getting into Reading by car at the tail end of rush hour - the M4 is a nightmare...

WSPU · 04/12/2018 15:34

I’ll be there. Can’t wait. Ill Be looking around trying to identify mumsnet feminists!

I've developed an intellectual crush on so many people it's getting to be embarrassing. Grin

Oooh it's come round already!

I have been far too excited by the WH debates - I shall be 'listening' in on twitter.

Oh, has it sold out? I'm sort of pleased on behalf of WPUK, but sad for others!

If anyone has a ticket and won't be able to go, please post here so someone else Prawn has a chance to attend :) ta

Beep beep women! Warming up this thread for later. I'll try to post.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 02/12/2018 11:19

I'm dead keen to go but finding it difficult to email the WPUK site about returns.

arranbubonicplague · 02/12/2018 10:35

Keep an eye out for returns - there are so many bugs going around that it's not implausible.

Zintox · 02/12/2018 08:40

Oh dammit it's sold out.

Zintox · 02/12/2018 08:35

I only just saw this! Really want to go. I know Julian Norman and she is excellent.

AornisHades · 02/12/2018 00:36

SH's Twitter break was an LM type break then?

arranbubonicplague · 02/12/2018 00:30

As seen on Rosa Freedman, commenting on screenshots about what looks like a concerted attempt to organise against the Reading meeting:

look who has made a reappearance claiming to have personal connections in Reading public institutions (as part of a a broader effort to silence women from speaking). Shavua Tov tweeps.

LangCleg · 01/12/2018 10:06

This is going to be a really useful meeting!

JellySlice · 01/12/2018 09:40

I've bought a ticket, but how and when do I find out where to go? Please PM me if that's a more appropriate way to answer.

Sounds interesting

Since having my kids I always feel that any event without a small amount of squeaking in the background is somehow too quiet, theone Grin
