Just bumping this for those who haven’t seen it

Really excellent line up, looking forward to hearing who fourth speaker will be. Glad like other posters have said that I can actually make this one.

Going to book into a youth hostel so don't have to rush across London to catch last train and get home after midnight.

Great to do feminism IRL, inspiring Smile

Ooh, just got a ticket too. Sooo looking forward to meeting some of you.

HildaSnibbs what a great first meeting for you!
LambChops I’m so sorry to hear that you have lost some friends over this issue. I am sure you will find a great sense of comradeship with the people at the meeting.

This will be my third WPUK meeting, so excited! For anyone concerned about going, I have been very impressed with the organisation of the meetings, and the speakers have been outstanding.

LambChopsMcGee · 06/04/2019 22:39

I've got my ticket! So excited. I missed out on RadFem 101.

I need this to look forward to as I've lost some real life friends over this debate thks week.

Iused2BanOptimist · 06/04/2019 22:38

Yay. I've been longing to get to one of these meetings and always scuppered by work etc. But I've bought a ticket and I'm coming. Smile (Wish it wasn't a Monday though)

KatvonHostileExtremist · 06/04/2019 21:29

I'm in! Toot

Popchyk · 06/04/2019 21:27

Yep, it is a stellar line-up. International stars and everything. Star Star Star

Wish I could go. Nowhere near London unfortunately.

trumpdump · 06/04/2019 21:20

This is the best line-up yet!

Any rumors on the 4th speaker?

TeiTetua · 06/04/2019 21:17

It's predictable that there will be attempts to disrupt this event, so let's hope the people running it have a plan.

Not wanting to get at anyone, but feminists shouldn't say "you don't know me from Adam". It should be Eve--I've heard a friend say that.

Mumfun · 06/04/2019 21:17

Very excited and got my ticket! Never managed to go to any WP or FPFW or SFW meet before !

HildaSnibbs · 06/04/2019 20:23

I've just bought my ticket! Longtime lurker on this board but never posted before. I'm a bit nervous so if there's a meetup beforehand count me in...

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 06/04/2019 20:18

JessicaWakefield - i was a bit worried about going to one (not WPUK) but as I was crashing at my brother's house he opted to come too

He was a little intrigued but initially came more out of solidarity. However, it blew his mind and he's been interested ever since (despite being one of only a handful of men and having to sit through a fairly graphic section on AGP..)

Thank you, that’s really kind of you. I’ll have a little think about it and talk to DH, he might come with us! I have just had tests of really high cortisol so I have to be careful not to stress myself too much!

GabrielleNelson · 06/04/2019 19:51

Jessica, I can understand that. I went to Radfem101 and (oddly) there was no protest at all. Don't know why. I was all psyched up to walk past the protestors and I didn't need to worry!

Obviously that can't be guaranteed this time. But I would think that the organisers have paid close attention to the experience of running previous meetings (WPUK didn't run that one in Bristol but as it was all filmed they'll have seen it) and will have good security.

I don't know if it would help given you don't know me from Adam but I'd be happy to meet you and go together. (Just got my ticket! Put it on my calendar and realised I have a very early start the next day. Oh well. I'll cope.)

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 06/04/2019 19:43

Oh I really want to go... I have anxiety though and have to shamefully admit some of the protests at other events freaked me out. The idea of being stuck in a stairwell with those people scares me

truthisarevolutionaryact · 06/04/2019 19:39

Great lineup - ticket booked!

NowtSalamander · 06/04/2019 19:39

Ticket booked! The line up of dreams.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 06/04/2019 19:37

Already seeing familiar names - so looking forward to seeing you again! Smile

JackyHolyoake · 06/04/2019 19:36

I look forward to meeting you Pencils ...

PencilsInSpace · 06/04/2019 19:34

I'm going! Smile

WSPU · 06/04/2019 19:28

Oh and what a line up!!

WSPU · 06/04/2019 19:28

Can we do a Mumsnet meet-up? Lots of us were in Reading.

MeganChips · 06/04/2019 19:21

GeordieGenes I’m going into Victoria too. That’s perfectly doable.

JackyHolyoake · 06/04/2019 19:20

I've got my ticket!
