Unless I'm going to be Billy No Mates at the Newcastle Local Christmas night out, we need to break the ice and see who's out there.
So who fancies taking the plunge and having a meet up?
We could start with a tea (or coffee ) and cake meet up and see what everybody would like from their 'local'.
If people would prefer to stay anonymous in Real Life, we could always have meet ups that are themed and choose a name accordingly, then you won't have the confusion of Mumsnet name or real name. 
So let me know if you would be interested, I think the theme should be rock/pop stars. I'll be Ziggy Stardust, I'm in the mood for a bit of vintage rock.
