to wonder if there was a london meetup last night?

[microserf]

that i didn't know about (because i'm a bit crap at checking these things) but that i was actually in the same pub last night with dh and some mates?

there was a function last night at the pub we were at - bartender told my nosey mate that it was for mothers who blog to meet each other - MIGHT have been MN - anyone know?

was desperate to ditch dh and the mates once i found out, but was a bit shy to head on up...

Think there was a meet up, they were talking about it on Chat last night.

Yep!

Yes on Clerkenwell Road. Started at 7.30 and some louts rolled out gone 1 !

Yes, it was in Clerkenwell (the area).

It was here. Were you really at the pub?

I think it was a netmums meet up

God I really WAS there!!!! We were eating at the Korean place 2 doors down and popped in before and after for a drink. with myself, knew i should have gone up and checked it out if you wouldn't have minded me crashing.

Can I say, all of you ladies with the green name tags looked like you were having an excellent time.

We were

Oh yes. Huge fun. You should've come on up.

Oh no! What are the odds! It's a pity you didn't recognise one of the names on the green tags! Oh well, there will be another one before you know it. Please come to the next one.

Oh Microserf! We would have made you a green badge and give you a glass of prosecco....

It was all very alcoholic lovely, so look out for the next one and come along!

I believe we're trying to bully persuade methods and Val to organise an autumn meet-up (too long till Christmas). Keep your eyes peeled for that one.

We might consider it

PM us with bribes

IF there is another London meet up, could it please be advertised a bit more? I didn't know until last night, and I'd have liked to attend!

What might be considered a suitable bribe, Val?

Y'know, for if anyone felt like bribing you both.

There were 3 whole threads going on and on and on about it Saggy!

Maybe we could make MNHQ sticky the threads next time?

The threads were stickied to the top every weekend for weeks before the event. Not sure why we were demoted during the week. But I think it was quite hard to miss!!

I didn't realise that! But then the current Meet up thread was always in my active convos so I knew where it was :)

Reminds me, I must re-find the Summer meet up one....

Maybe we could get Aitch to mention the meet up in the round up next time?

Here is the Summer Meet Up thread for those interested.

I suppose that the thing is, for the safety of the MNers who did go to the meet-up, it can't be advertised too heavily. It needs to be something only a regular poster would know about otherwise we'll end up with every hairy knuckled trucker popping past. I'm sure there are a few journos who would have thought it was an easy way to get a story too...
