MartinEB Posted July 9, 2011 Share #61 Posted July 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am hoping to join this gathering - it is good to see that a number of people from further away will be there. Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Hi MartinEB, Take a look here London Meet. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
spylaw4 Posted July 9, 2011 Share #62 Posted July 9, 2011 Great if you can make it Martin. I have now made us a reservation at the Norfolk Arms for 1:30 - 1:45 for lunch for about 12 people. I am asked to update them as to numbers as soon as I can. So more (or less) will not be a problem. I have put the location link here in case anyone is late and simply wants to come at lunchtime. The Menu is Tapas style so one can eat as much or as little as one wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted July 10, 2011 Share #63 Posted July 10, 2011 I will definitely make it. I was not sure what was happening that weekend but I am now free. See you at the museum at the appointed time! LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted July 10, 2011 Share #64 Posted July 10, 2011 Me too. Coming in to St Pancras on the "Bullet Train" for 0920. Will take a leisurely stroll down to the Museum. Now what bag, film, underwear should I use......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roydonian Posted July 10, 2011 Share #65 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi,I'm staying in Broxbourne for 3 weeks occupationally and would like to join your London meeting. As soon as I open my mouth everybody knows I'm German, but hopefully you don't mind. Looking forward to meet you, Carsten from Hamburg, Germany I live further up the same rail line, so we might end up travelling on the same train. Off to Belgium for a few days tomorrow, but I will check the forum on Friday to make sure that the plan has not changed. Best regards, Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolotse Posted July 10, 2011 Share #66 Posted July 10, 2011 I live further up the same rail line, so we might end up travelling on the same train. Hi roydonian, which rail line are you going to use, will it stop at the Theobalds Grove Rail Station? Otherwise I'm thinking of using the Underground starting at Cockfosters. Take care, Carsten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted July 10, 2011 Share #67 Posted July 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I didn't think I'd be able to make the 16th, but now I'm able to......so I'd like to join you all.

spylaw4 Posted July 11, 2011 Share #68 Posted July 11, 2011 Hmm! - looks like I may have to up the numbers for lunch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanvo1982 Posted July 11, 2011 Share #69 Posted July 11, 2011 Fortunately, the underground will work on 16th of July. Otherwise, I don't know how to go to there from the Waterloo station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roydonian Posted July 11, 2011 Share #70 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi roydonian,which rail line are you going to use, will it stop at the Theobalds Grove Rail Station? Otherwise I'm thinking of using the Underground starting at Cockfosters. Take care, Carsten I will be taking the train from Stansted airport to Stratford. This will stop at Tottenham Hale (where I will switch to switch to the underground). This train will call at Broxbourne at 9.25, but not at Theobolds Grove.

Seeingeye Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share #71 Posted July 11, 2011 Fortunately, the underground will work on 16th of July. Otherwise, I don't know how to go to there from the Waterloo station. Hi Vo The quickest method would be to take the Jubilee Line to London Bridge and then change on the Northern Line to Moorgate, from where it is a short walk. I'll be coming into London Bridge myself, so it might be possible to meet up there if you wish. Send me a PM if you want to make an arrangement. Make sure that when you buy your ticket you get it with a Travelcard option so that you can use the underground without having to pay the extortionate single fare each time.

lanetomlane Posted July 11, 2011 Share #72 Posted July 11, 2011 Hmm! - looks like I may have to up the numbers for lunch! Hi Brian, would you be kind enough to include me as I'm 99% sure of making it. Museum of London, 11:00am on Saturday the 16th; right? Look forward to catching up with everyone again. ____________________________ Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Tim B Martin EB Roydonian gravastar photoallee MPerson Nick + Ripon Ernst PasMichael (?) - are you still on? AndyBarton This makes 15 + 2 possibles.

spylaw4 Posted July 11, 2011 Share #74 Posted July 11, 2011 For those that are unfamiliar with the area you can find a Map here. Unfortunately it does not lead one through the maze of the Barbican Estate so beware if you venture therein! If anyone wants to come by car there are public carparks in Aldersgate Street, Silk Street, Beech Street. Going from the Museum to the Norfolk Arms will probably mean that we will have to go to Moorgate tube, thence to King's X/StP and a short walk. Barbican Station looks like it will have no services at all on the 16th.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted July 11, 2011 Share #75 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Brian, sorry, should have mentioned that Eileen will not be coming on this one. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she sings in a choir and they are giving a concert on Saturday evening and so practising on Saturday afternoon. ___________________________ Regards, Tom.

biglouis Posted July 11, 2011 Share #76 Posted July 11, 2011 Not to put a damper on things but my weather forecast app says it will be raining most of the day. Of course, you can't always trust forecasts as Michael Fish knows only too well. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you can't always trust forecasts as Michael Fish knows only too well. LouisB If the Met Office from this far out says it's going rain, that normally means it will turn out fair in my experience. Should the forecast does actually prove correct on this occasion, we will still be covered.* We'll be in the museum during the morning and on St Pancras station during the afternoon. Of course, there would always be the opportunity to test the weatherproofing (or not ) of our cameras and go for some reflection shots in the puddles.

earleygallery Posted July 11, 2011 Share #79 Posted July 11, 2011 I should be at the museum but have a prior engagement in the afternoon - if it turn into one of 'those' days I'll come and find you in whatever pub you've found later in the afternoon!
