That was AWESOME

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 20/05/2019 20:43

I reckon 400 people here.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 20/05/2019 20:37

Sounds like a good turnout - how many would you say are there? Also kudos to the venue for not wussing out.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 20/05/2019 20:37

Am definitely up for a drink after - I missed the one before due to mothering responsibilities!

Becles · 20/05/2019 20:30

Julie Bindel is epic.

Mumsnet massive we need a secret handshake or sign. How about waving the small purple and orange leaflets at the end?

NeurotrashWarrior · 20/05/2019 20:29

Wish I was there! It looks amazing on twitter!

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 20/05/2019 20:22

It is such a lovely, warm, respectful meeting...and such fabulous speakers. Such role models.

From Rosa Freedman's Twitter:
""The only time the phrase 'her penis' should be used in a sentence is when a woman has castrated her rapist and his holding his penis up in the air"

Julie Bindel"

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 20/05/2019 19:22

I am here too! So brilliant to see so many women here.

Becles · 20/05/2019 19:18

I'm here! Ground floor 4th row and already had a chat with someone else 'revolutionalised by mumsnet'.

I'm wearing a black & white stripey top. Will have to run off at the end to catch my train unfortunately

GabrielleNelson · 20/05/2019 18:39

Filling up very fast! Exciting.

bettybeans · 20/05/2019 18:29

Enjoy! Will be following on Twitter and look forward to hearing about it afterwards from those of you attending. Hashtag is #WPUKLondon apparently.

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 20/05/2019 18:24

I'm in and in a white slogan tshirt with red text - will try to find you all afterwards!

NowtSalamander · 20/05/2019 18:22

I am eating where I can see location and no mum botherers evident so far, for those who are (understandably) worried about this.

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 20/05/2019 17:48

@Voice I'm at the nearby tube station - please PM me the pub name!

GrinitchSpinach · 20/05/2019 17:46

I am so envious of those who are able to attend! Please update later for those of us observing vicariously. ;)

quietbutdetermined · 20/05/2019 17:33

I am stuck on a train so hope when I arrive in London there are no further delays! Can’t see me arriving in time for the meet up beforehand though

IAmNotInvisible · 20/05/2019 17:22

To anyone relying on the underground to get to the meet up/venue, check for delays. I'm currently sitting on a train going nowhere ....

HildaSnibbs · 20/05/2019 16:29

I'm really gutted that I can't make it - just feeling absolutely grim today and can't face going out - I've emailed them asking to release my ticket to someone on the waiting list. It would have been my first one too and I was hoping to meet some mumsnetters too! Sad Hope everyone who does go has a great time. Next time...

Voice0fReason · 20/05/2019 14:59

I've lost track of who I've messaged!
There's a few of us in a nearby pub. Message me if you want to join us.

maniacmagpie · 20/05/2019 13:53

I'll be in the area nearby to [super secret location] probably about an hour beforehand, if coffee/pub is happening I'd also appreciate a DM.
