4th March 2012 London Meet

[Graham]

Pity Graham ... maybe next time.

Sheffield is my home town, but I've not been for about two years now. I'll be staying with an old school friend and at least hope to meet up with Paul (Jinky) who I've known for years online but never managed to meet. If the weather's not too bad, we might get out to the Peak District, but I'll be leaving again on Thursday, so I won't have too much time. Also have to visit the elderly aunt (94 years young).

If anyone fancies a trip to Cornwall, we'll be near Penzance from the 21st April for 4 weeks. 

  I'm sure your going to have a great time!

  I'll have to arrange a meet in Derby one day.....We could just say "Meet outside the chip shop at 10.00"!
                           Graham.

Is that am or pm? 

  Oldboy...am/pm it's all the same to me!

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news but the weather for Sunday in the London area looks poor, keep your fingers crossed

I'm afraid all the free coffee has gone, Graham used up the whole  year's allocation on his visit!

Ah well, we've had some adventurous weather days before - and it's as much about meeting other people as getting pictures 
Speakers Corner might get a knock if it's too wet - but plenty of other places to visit - like Leadenhall - that are relatively dry.
And when has Eileen never had a raft of 'what's going on' info at her fingertips

I will double check with Mrs B that we have nothing arranged for sunday, that I should know about and confirm things later!

[Sarasocke]

Whatever the weather, I'm looking forward to seeing you all!

Irv - don't you dare not meet us! 

If Speaker's Corner gets a knock, can we meet Alan somewhere else?

Anyway, sort it out amongst yourselves - I'll be at Victoria at 10.30:) I'm already flying to London tomorrow morning so I'm off till then. I've got Andrew's mobile number as well as Del's so I should be able to find you.

Andrew, what time and whereabouts is the initial meeting point?

[irv_b]

Hi All,

i'm doing this whilst the broadband is still working (long story for Sunday).

Due to engineering works, i am having to travel up via coach to Victoria.
Might i suggest we meet at little Ben](just outside Victoria Railway Station) for about 10:30 - then wander down to the South Bank for a bit - before jumping on a tube up to Hyde Park to meet Alan and get some abuse off the soap box bandits at Speakers Corner.

South Bank at Westminster is about a 20 minute walk.

I think my coach back home leaves Victoria for about 19:30, so i'm good up until then - we can update places to visit as the day goes on etc...

I see ya there ^^

[ABERS]

It's lashing down here, so sorry won't be coming, and I've been looking forward to it. Hope you have a good 'un.

Sorry I had to cancel too, went bowling last night and aggravated a back injury.  Really didn't fancy lugging a rucksack around with kit in it...

[Delamanda]

It was wet, it was cold, but it was jolly good fun!  Thanks Andrew, Carol and Irv for a great day.  I think this just about sums it up!

[picsfor]

Yes, it was a great day - despite the rain.

Now about to process my picture from the day - sorry, pictures 

I hope to have a couple to post - just a shame the weather hampered things a little.

[jinky]

Shame about the weather. I`ll have to malke one of these London meets when down seeing my daughter one of these days. Having cancelled my planned trip to Focus on Imaging this year I`m looking forward to meeting up with Carol at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park when she moves on to Sheffield for her next bit of her visit to UK.

[irv_b]

Yes the weather was crappy yesterday but the company was good and we had a laugh or two! I hopefully will be able to get some shot up soon once I reviewed and edited them.
