Jcraf and I feel that it's high time for another forum meeting in London. I think the previous forum meeting in London was the very pleasant Primrose Hill meeting in August 2017 although I'm happy to be corrected of course. Our proposal this time is to meet in The Garrick Arms in Charing Cross Road at about 1 o'clock on Saturday 16th July for some refreshment, possibly a bite to eat if desired, to re-acquaint with members we haven't seen for too long and meet new ones, generally laugh a lot, relate anecdotes, tell outrageous lies, admire cameras and lenses and, when the mood takes us, partake in a gentle stroll-and-click in central London. The whereabouts of the stroll-and-click will be determined on the day depending on how many attend, the weather, what the horoscopes are advising, the results of analysing some fresh entrails etc, and we'll take things from there. But mostly how we're feeling at the time and on the day. If you haven't made it to a forum meeting before then you'll be made to feel most welcome and you'll be able to spot us in The Garrick Arms from the collection of cameras and lenses on the table(s) so I hope you do manage to come along. We've had a meeting at The Garrick Arms before, when StS briefly brought his mum over from Hamburg, and the venue was reasonably well received so I hope it won't have changed too much. It's on the east side of Charing Cross road parallel with Leicester Square. Jcraf and I look forward to seeing friends again and meeting new ones. If you'd like my mobile number in case something goes wrong then just drop me a PM and we can swap numbers. If you already had my mobile from a past encounter then it has not changed. We'd be grateful if you'd very kindly post a reply stating your intent to come along if you are so that we can get a rough idea of numbers. If something occurs to force us to change arrangements such as a rail strike, Covid, the Garrick closing down etc then we'll advise the details in this thread. See you in the Garrick! Pete.
