West London meet up?

33 replies

thefirstmrsdewinter · 18/01/2019 22:45

Does anyone know of a feminist social in west London or would you be interested in being part of one? I volunteer for a feminist group (people can vouch for me) but so much takes place in central London and beyond and it would be nice to know some people to travel with or look for at events. (Obvs not asking for any sensitive info here.)

Romantic yes, I'm in the same boat. If you want to join us you can pm me. I'm not sure where we'll meet but it's likely to be north of the river.

Can I join a SW London group? I can't get into central London.

Thanks ignatius. Smile I had a 24hr feverish bug and a week of mild malaise/dramatic lounging. I ventured out today thinking the worst was behind me but apparently I've reached the explosive gagging tickly cough stage - ? I was like patient zero in one of those pandemic horror movies.
Thanks pearl.

Bumping this up as I noticed a few posters had been asking about a London group.

Hope you feel better soon, MrsdeW!

I'm freshly infected with the lurgy so if you're waiting for me to reply I'll be in touch in a few days.

Hello west Londoners. I've set up a shiny new email address and emailed MrsdeW. Looking forward to meeting up as soon as we can get ourselves organised.

OunceOfFlounce · 21/01/2019 21:15

I'm out of London for the moment but back in the west often. Would love to come along to whatever if I'm in town at the right time.

(I used to post more often in the summer. I mostly lurk/bury my head in the sand these days).

BigGreenOlives · 21/01/2019 21:12

Lydia and MrsdeW, I've emailed MrsdeW my email address for this purpose - Reading is a bit too far for me as well.

AgnesBadenPowell · 21/01/2019 20:10

I'm in west London and have been thinking about starting something locally. I'll send a PM.

Thanks for the info Liverpool. I'm not as far west as that but good to know for future reference. :)

Lydia, Olives, I'll send you my details. Lydia, if you have an email address you just use for this sort of thing as suggested by Liverpool, I don't think there is a risk of being outed up to the moment you turn up in person (tell me if I'm being naive). Or let me know if you don't want your address to be included in the group email.
Just to clarify, I don't have any plans to organise anything as such (though others may :)), this is more an opportunity to meet and talk about our thoughts about current issues and if anyone plans to attend an event it would be an opportunity to find a travel partner. In my experience feminist values are powerful common ground and although I know and like my friends, neighbours, people in my book group etc, many of them aren't really on the same page.

West London sisters - there is a Reading group in the works, if that helps?

BigGreenOlives · 21/01/2019 10:15

I was there on 30th but left before the pub/bar. I’m in

SorryAuntLydia · 21/01/2019 10:13

I’m interested in finding some other real life west London GC women but a bit nervous at being outed.

LoafEater · 20/01/2019 21:17

I'm in - West is Best! I would love to meet with some local women. Count me in whatever you figure out.

Marmelised · 20/01/2019 21:05

Would love to be part of a Resisters groups albeit very conscious that I am pretty uneducated in feminist theory. I just have 30+ years of doing my best to live up to feminist principles, and bringing my daughters up to be independent women, to offer.

pearlkent · 20/01/2019 18:35

Also happy to do an email chat to start with. Once we get going we could contact you LiverpoolReSisters for further guidance, thank you!

Katispancuddly · 20/01/2019 18:08

Happy for an email chat

LiverpoolReSisters · 20/01/2019 18:07

pearlkent you can DM us here or email [email protected]

Anyone emailing each other, we suggest you create a new Gmail account for GC purposes.

Great to see more people are interested! How shall we go forward? I can pm my email address - ? I'm never sure how to organise a group chat without there being issues around sharing each other's details and I'm not the most up-to-date on suitable platforms. Anyone?

pearlkent · 20/01/2019 15:22

LiverpoolReSisters - is there any other way to get in touch with you, as I'm not on twitter (probably not a good start!) unless any of the others on this thread are?

Callmejudith · 20/01/2019 15:19

I would love to join. I’m very much a lurker though I did go to the Venice and Linda case and got quite tipsy with some mumsnetters in the pub afterwards

LiverpoolReSisters · 20/01/2019 14:42

Well, looks like there's a few of us now - enough to form the West London ReSisters?

Do get in touch with @ReSistersU on twitter, we'd love to help. :)

pearlkent · 20/01/2019 14:18

Marmelised - wish I'd got talking to you! I did chat to a friendly woman and her daughter sat next to me, but felt too inadequate to spark up any other conversations.
