SN Meet up again

175 replies

Davros · 13/10/2004 10:28

Have lost the last SN meet up thread so have to start another.
We were talking about meeting on 12th Nov, maybe at the Royal Academy in Piccadilly. Its poss to meet there in the large cafe as early as we want and have coffee/tea and then stay for lunch if we want. It is self service with quite a good variety of food and prices.
OR someone has said the 11th Nov would be better for them and we could go back to Suze......
Anyone intersted? What do you prefer?
(Ignore MN is cliquey threads and no-one speaks to me threads )

Its The Royal Academy, Piccadilly. Big self-svs restaurant at the back. Arrive any time between 10.30am-whenever. Early birds can have tea and cake and move on to lunch or just come for lunch.
Lou, DO bring Spacey, I'd love to meet her and I am going to persuade Maomao to come (but can't use the phone now, waiting for Dr to call me)

Start a thread urging her to come davros , I've encouraged her to come with me, but she is a delicate foal, quite shy and trembly.

I have just e-mailed thomcat saying how will we know who we all are. Maybe we could wear a mumsnet virtual mothers t-shirt?

jakbrown · 02/11/2004 15:47

Think Davros will have to wear an embarrassing hat!

Dingle · 02/11/2004 16:14

Is Fio still going? What is the nearest tube station please?

lou33 · 02/11/2004 16:32

I'm easy to spot. I'm an almost 38 year old ex goth who looks like marilyn manson, though with a bit less make up.

lou33 · 02/11/2004 16:32

we could all wear clown noses

Have just been fashioning a fabulous, embarrassing hat from the many, many empty Twiglet bags lying around here after half term. Should be easy to spot each other as we'll be the only ones under 50 (just in my case)!
Green park is nearest tube.

Davros will be wielding a red marker pen as well

Thomcat · 02/11/2004 17:33

Would it help if I wear a blue jumpsuit and celotape my face back as though falling out of a plane at 120mph?!!!! (See DSA skydive thread).
In fact I look a bit like that little yellow face there!

We'll know who we all are, I have seen pictures of Lou, most of you have seen pictures of me at some point, and you've seen Lottie as well.

I'll be there early so look out for a 33 yr old woman, strike that - girl, with a dark brown bob, longer at front than the back, with a 3 year old little girl in a black McLaren buggy. (Althought I would much rather be on my own when I meet you all so I can focus on you lot not her so might actually leave her with my mum after all, not sure).

blossomhill · 02/11/2004 19:11

Doesa noyone know exactly who is going?
I am coming but will need to get there and leave early due to school pick up.

jakbrown · 02/11/2004 19:37

I'll be there early, lurking behind a paper. But will have to leave at 1.30ish to get back to Brighton for 4...

blossomhill · 02/11/2004 19:56

Jakbrown - I am definitely going if you are

lou33 · 02/11/2004 20:03

Looks like I will be there, dragging a quaking spacemonkey in behind me.

Chocol8 · 02/11/2004 22:47

Thom - that conjoured up a brilliant picture! Can you imagine peoples faces to see you all dressed up in red noses, jump suits and sellotape? Excellent!

How many of us are actually going then? x

That's how I feel RnB I just wish I knew someone to go with. Feels a bit daunting going on my own!

Ct - you were on my mind so much I posted your name twice

blossomhill · 02/11/2004 23:06

RnB - what time are you getting there? I have to get there and leave as early as possible for school pick ups. My 2 are at different schools so it is a nightmare at times!

fio2 · 03/11/2004 06:52

sorry havent been on MN in ages my real life actually took over for once!

I am ging to put ds in nursery for the day and bring my dd with me, if thats okay? that way I wouldnt be worrying about getting back for her school bus. It would only be a one off though, I wouldnt be able to do it again (but then again you may be glad about that! )

jakbrown · 03/11/2004 08:29

FAntastic!!! Would love to get the train with you RnB, glad you're coming Blossomhill.
I'll probably get there for 10.30? (ok rnB?) but will have to leave about 1.30/2

lou33 · 03/11/2004 08:52

Hopefully i will be ther about 11 ish. Bh watch out for that rnb, she looks nice and friendly, but she won't tell us her secrets!

fio2 · 03/11/2004 09:01

where are we meeting?

Dingle are you going? I could meet you on the train and we could help each other with directions!
