Advertisement Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Hi theno23, Take a look here Chinese New Year in London?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
farnz Posted January 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 15, 2012 Steve, I'm interested. If it helps, in the past we've used the Chandos as a meeting venue for CNY and other meets because of its convenience, reasonable food, acceptable 'refreshments' and it enables members to pop in and out as the mood and weather takes them. (Of course it doesn't mean we'd necessarily have to do the same this year.) Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theno23 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted January 15, 2012 Sounds like a good idea. I know the Chandos. Any idea what's a good time? I've been a couple of years ago, but don't remember the details. - Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 15, 2012 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2012 Ooh, I'd have thought lunchtime or early afternoon so people can shoot the dragons in the morning, stop for a bite and a natter and there'd still be time for some photos afterwards. What do others think? Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted January 17, 2012 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2012 I'm interested, Year of the Dragon. Some establishments are giving free cocktails to the dragons. ... drunken cavorting dragons . The Chen Brothers who hold the Guinness World Record for the highest pole jump in the flying lion dance should be performing in Trafalgar Square. Due to redevelopment work I think the firework display is in Trafalgar Square (not Leicester Square as in previous years) at 17:40. Bob.

farnz Posted January 22, 2012 Share #9 Posted January 22, 2012 Fortunately tube engineering works in London will be light on Sunday with only the Piccadilly, District, Overground, Waterloo & City, DLR, and Bakerloo lines affected. (I would add a weblink but I did this last time and confused everyone because I hadn't noticed that it's a date-relative link; so it would be correct today but viewed tomorrow it would show Monday 30th's disruptions. The information's available from the TfL site under Live Travel News>Tube,DLR Overround tab.) Has a notional time and place been set yet ... ? Pete.

theno23 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted January 22, 2012 No time set yet, midday at the Chandos? I'm happy to do a bit of coordination, but even more happy for someone else to do it - Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Bachmann Posted January 22, 2012 Share #11 Posted January 22, 2012 I'll be around and pop into the Chandos a few minutes past noon to say hello. Hopefully I can find everyone - the group as it can get quite busy. Shall we designate a corner upstairs for easy meeting? Upstairs can also accomodate a larger group without having to spread across multiple booths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theno23 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) OK, I'm about to send people contact details, so shout if you want to go and haven't said anything yet. - Steve PS - just to make it easier to see, meeting place is The Chandos at 12:00 (midday).

Tim B Posted January 28, 2012 Share #14 Posted January 28, 2012 My movements are still a little uncertain, which is why I haven't previously said anything, but I am hoping to be there. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bachmann Posted January 29, 2012 Share #18 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) A fine little meeting - the perfect reason to come in from the cold for refreshment. Does anyone have a few favourite shots to share? Edited January 29, 2012 by DanBachmann Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theno23 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share #19 Posted January 30, 2012 Don't think I got any interesting shots (not processed the card yet), but had fun talking to everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnath Posted January 30, 2012 Share #20 Posted January 30, 2012 Nice to meet up with you all... As for photo's...very slim pickings I'm afraid. China Town was heaving...absolutely no chance for a novice like me!! At least the card didn't fail...although I almost wish it did. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
