Social: Ladies meet up

LadyMayBelle

Right..

This suggestion came up from the boards beers last Saturday night in Balham. There's quite a bunch of Irish boards.ie now living in London, and quite a few are female..whatever about ye lads, some of the ladies suggested a meet up all for themselves...:D

Let's find out the interest level first. There was about 5? of us who were up for it anyway.

Central London or thereabouts is prob easiest for everyone, but naturally if everyone is from the NW, we can reconsider, same if the bulk of people are from the South.

So, let me know if:

a) you are interested?
b) would you prefer afternoons or evenings..please bear in mind that a beers may involve travelling home late alone at night. While it's not ruled out by any menas, consider grabbing food and drinks after work? Even an afternoon coffee and cake?
c) Any other things ye would suggest we could do..cinema, craft nights, shows, cocktails, quizzes, whatever.
d) where about's ye are and where best suits to meet.

And lads, we aren't ignoring ye completely, we shall undoubtedly have another beers in the future!

Will post in the ladies lounge and please feel free to share the word on forums that might pick it up.

Definitely up for this I'd meant to post a thread earlier in the week after talking to you at the weekend but was distracted by events of the last few days...

I'm happy with either afternoons (Sat/Sun) or evenings but would probably head away reasonably early in the night given the distances required when travelling home.

Sounds like a good idea to me

It might be worth considering keeping the actual date & place private, so that you can invite people who you've met or who someone has vouched for along without having to put up with the chance of one or more lads acting the maggot and coming along thinking they'll be able to crack onto all the women without any competition...(Though in saying that, I'd have thought a couple of comments about moon cups and the like would be all you'd need to get rid of that particular type of twit!)

Count me in!

I'm happy to meet weekend afternoons/nights or any weekday evening (bar quiz night ) and don't mind what is planned, I just like the company and the chat

Dr.Giggles

I know, you were there with us one second, and then gone! I was worried about you but didn't have your number. Glad to see you're alive and kicking missus

LadyMayBelle

Yes - Monday

Ha, the old mooncup topic..many an awkward moment at boards events

Stargal

Great idea, kudos for coming up with it! Count me in (for everything except the mooncup discussion....). Beers sound good to me - maybe we could do drinks this time and then if it works out and none of us turn out to be a serial killer we could do something like afternoon tea, cinema, quizzes or whatever the next time around?

I'm Highbury/Stoke Newington so either city centre or northside suits me best, but like a human-sized homing pigeon, I can get back to my gaff from pretty much anywhere so not too pushed. Afternoon or evening works for me too, don't mind which.

Yay, already looking forward to this!

I wasn't able to make it to the beers this weekend, but I've met some of you before so you should be able to gauge my level of weirdness anyway. Count me in, sounds like fun and I'm interested in trying out whatever's going -beer, tea, cake, quiz, table tennis, Disney films, mooncups... I'm down south, so central might be best to suit everyone.

Sinall

Sounds like a great idea!

Jack B. Badd - we can accompany each other on the journey home!

LadyMayBelle

Yes - Monday

I'm gonna (selfishly) throw out the weekend of August 26th... I know it's bank holiday, but I guess a few of us are around?

silvervixen84

Yes - Monday

Righto, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I have 3 spare tickets for the first eviction night of the new Big Brother this Friday 19 August.

It's at Elstree Film & TV Studios I'm aiming to be there for 6.45pm

Hi bul87, welcome to the London forum!

The thread for the next beers hasn't been set up yet, but I'm sure it'll make an appearance soon for a meetup sometime in September

LadyMayBelle

Yes - Monday

I've a weekend free this one coming and half thinking of visiting here :
http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/ , mainly because of this: http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/whats_on/exhibitions_and_displays/the_stuff_of_nightmares/index.html

I'm gonna go anyways myself even if it is over run with kids, and it's right near Bethnal Green Tube. And then maybe here: http://luxurylogistics.co.uk/2011/08/16/blitz-vintage-store-epicenter-for-vintage-fashionistas/

I'm happy to meet anyone who has similar interests and a traipse around Shoreditch.

EDIT: My plans have changed due to a family member coming to stay last min....next time!!

I've just moved to Bethnal Green and would be on for doing this however I'm getting married in September so until that's done and dusted I won't be available.
Have been very bad about going for the last few Beers ( sorry) but this Wedding takes up so much time.

LadyMayBelle

Yes - Monday

oooh a wedding, how lovely! That's cool, I am gonna go anyways otherwise I'll never leave the sofa Quite a few of us are out east now it seems which is cool (no disrespect to the NW's!)

Scarinae

No luck with the 26th for me since I'm going up to Aberdeen to see a friend, I'll try to keep an eye on this thread though and I'll def try to come along to an event soon!

can we come? what do you mean we're not invited? that's no way to make friends. i'd invite you if it was mine!:pac:

silvervixen84

Yes - Monday

Righto so, is it the 26th (Fri) or the 27th we're meeting up, and does anyone have any suggestions - I'm happy to wander out east if it suits people better

LadyMayBelle

Yes - Monday

Well, typically, I have to back out as my dear Dad is popping over for a surprise visit (found out on Tuesday)..so meet away but accept my apologies

Dr.Giggles

Hey, is this going ahead? I'm up for it this weekend anyway

Mc Kenzie

what are ye thinken a doin,?? cinema coffee or is it a day time thing?

silvervixen84

Yes - Monday

I had a whole big long reply ready last night and then boards crashed on me, I got annoyed and left it!

I'm happy to meet anyone tomorrow evening, say 7/8 for a few hours - but not for a big session. Since everyone is scattered, somewhere central is most fair. Maybe The Ship and Shovell as was suggested for the Sep beers?

Edit - another suggestion from the off topic thread is Gordon's Wine Bar

queendee7

Sounds like a plan to me How about early October to give people (i.e. me) a chance to get organised?
