lanetomlane Posted March 14, 2013 Share #50 Posted March 14, 2013 Going to be a busy weekend. Shard meeting on Saturday, then Bristol Sunday. I'll probably drive into London on Saturday then a quick trip down the M4 for an overnight in Bristol. Anyone else thinking of attending both meets? If so anyone interested in dinner on Saturday night? _____________________ Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted March 25, 2013 Share #52 Posted March 25, 2013 There is a chance I may have to fly to Seattle on Saturday the 27th, in which case I wouldn't be able to make either London, or Bristol. I'm hoping not, but should know for sure sometime this week. _____________________ Regards, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick De Marco Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share #54 Posted April 7, 2013 For those who want to go to the top of the shard and enjoy the view apparently it may be necessary to book advance tickets. I have checked and there are today (8 April) tickets available from 1pm. I suggest we book some for 2.30pm, if possible, and meet at 11am to 12 in the pub for lunch and then walk around outside first. Does that sound OK and if so would anyone like me to book the 2.30pm slot for them and bring the cash on the day (5p short of £25) or shall we all try and book individually for 2.30pm? Better decide soon before bookings go. For those who don't want to take the view I suggest we meet again at the bottom to continue photographing the interesting local area.

farnz Posted April 7, 2013 Share #55 Posted April 7, 2013 Nick, Lunch, stroll and then the Shard at 2.30 sounds great to me. How long does £24.95 get you at the top? If you'd like to PM me your bank details I'll transfer the money so you're not out of pocket or if you'd prefer I'll print off a nice new £25 note and bring it on the day. Your choice. Pete.

Nick De Marco Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share #56 Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks Pete I'm happy to order and pay on behalf of others so long as I can get the money back on the day If I can have a list if definites if who wants a ticket booked my 4pm this Wednesday I will then book after that and collect the money on the day - and if anyone says they are a definite and I buy a ticket for then then they don't turn up I trust they will be good enough to send me a cheque! I will pm everyone who has indicated they are coming later today too to remind them if this. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted April 8, 2013 Share #57 Posted April 8, 2013 Hi Nick, I'm a definite, I would be happy if you could add me to the list of people you're getting tickets for the Shard as you mentioned. See you there! I must teke my tele lens as the views look spectacular! Let's hope it will be a clear day. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted April 8, 2013 Share #58 Posted April 8, 2013 I am not going to make this now. Have the chance to go round Dungeness nuclear power station and being allowed to take a camera! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick De Marco Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share #59 Posted April 8, 2013 What a great opportunity Andy I love Dungeness How do you manage that? PM me, I would love to try it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted April 8, 2013 Share #60 Posted April 8, 2013 Nick have PM'd you. EDF Energy are re-opening the visitor centres and also conducting tours of some of their nuclear plants. They were shutdown after 9/11 for security reasons. I have done the public tour of Dungeness B (Dungeness A is being de-commissioned now) and it is an interesting tour, lasts around two hours and you finish the tour in the reactor building looking down on to the reactor pile cap. Maybe a future Leica meet venue! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
