London Meet Up - Saturday 21st October
Hi all
A London forum meet up has been arranged on Saturday 21st October at our usual haunt of
White Swan pub, 21 Alie Street, Aldgate East, E1 8DE https://www.whiteswanaldgate.co.uk/
We will be starting at 1pm.
It is also an opportunity for you to have a drink with me for my 60th birthday which is in September, whilst fellow superfan Janice is 65 at the end of October.
So far we have a number of confirmed attendees. In no particular order...
sulky lad
Goon Squad
sheeptotheslaughter
John Foyle
Man out of time
Neil.
Nicola76
Hawksmoor
ExtremeHoney
and a few non-forum fans who we know and love.
There are a few more forum members who have not yet confirmed so it will be a day of fun, frolics and freebies
I hope you can make it.

Re: London Meet Up - Saturday 21st October
Turns out I’m in London that day to see Toyah and Robert Fripp at Shepherd’s Bush Empire so I’ll definitely get down early to the meet up. It’s in my diary!

Brilliant! The meet up is an offshoot to my 60th just so that you have your priorities right

Just let me know when you can make it and I’ll sort out the timing. Perhaps we can arrange for claret and blue smoke

Offshore - because I used to work offshore on oil rigs.
ram - because I’m a long suffering Derby fan

Re: London Meet Up - Saturday 21st October
IMPORTANT
Due to circumstances beyond our control we have changed the venue for the meet up.
It will now be at the
Princess of Prussia
15 Prescot Street
London
E1 8AZ
It’s still from 1pm and we have a space reserved.
https://www.princessofprussia.co.uk/contact-us
It is close to the White Swan so if anybody turns up there they won’t have far to go.
Apologies but hope to see you there.

That’s a real shame about Mrs SoLack but Miss So Lack is a worthy substitute. It’ll be a lovely welcome return.

Re: London Meet Up - Saturday 21st October
What a terrific day - about 25 of us turned up with a few unfortunate last minute absentees (which will always happen with a group this size).
This was by far the largest turnout and was full of great conversations, laughter and 2 types of birthday cake - one organised by a few people and one home made.
Sulky of course provided giveaways
The new venue was set out better so the consensus was to go back there.
I’ll look to organise something next year. Hopefully it’ll coincide with an Elvis tour!
