London "Off-Line" meetings

Folks,

This was something I wanted to suggest for quite a while, but kinda never got around.

I would propose a "ZG Off-Line" meeting for the London area on the evenings of the first thursday every month, however other days are fine, if anyone would like to propose any.

For the Summer/early Fall I would suggest the Old Thamesside In near Clink Street on the side of the Thames near London Bridge (where a lot of lines of traffic/travel can be caught), but counter proposals are welcome.

In the winter the Thamesside Inn is pretty quiet, so it may be worth keeping the meet there, but we can review the situation.

Good idea T. I'd be up for that.

 

Excellent, me too.

 

Folks,

For August the first Thursday is the 2nd, if that is agreeable.

The reasoning for Thursday evening is that it's in the week, does not interfere with Friday nights etc.

Ciao T

 

Will pencil it in, man.

XX David.

 

i don't post on zg a great deal these days but live 10 mins on train way so would love to come along. btw - what time?

I'd also like to come along (it's on the way home!).
Am building up courage to start Aikido preamp (have beautiful PCB but slightly nervous about power supply) and would be grateful of a little help!

Folks,

Time I'd say 18:30, which should give those of us who work/live a little further away enough time to get there.

And of course, all are welcome, if someone feels Londers on the Tent People (HiFiwigwwam) or Pinkfish would be interrested, invite them....

Ciao T

 

Hmmm, that's quite an early start. Will you be staying for a few hours? Might not be able to arrive until after 8.

 

Folks,

We can make it 7:30, what do others feel, for me no problem to go late....

Ciao T

 

Sounds good to me.

Thorsten, I've put something up on PFM using your initial post:

It sounds quite good to me, if it is within walking distance of London Bridge station. But I can't stay all that late since it takes over an hour of traveling each way and I wouldn't like to leave it 'till the last train.

 

Simon, it's only once a month so if you miss the train my sofa, floor and spare duvet are at your service.

 

So, for the newby, are people wearing printed circuits in their buttonholes, or other means of identification?

 

Blue light on the head and a beautifully smooth glowing complexion are the things to look out for.

Oh, and soft hands.

 

Folks,

Seems we are go for this week Thursday, for those who have not found the Venue yet:

Map is here:

The place gets mixed reviews, usually the Beer is okay and the view over the Thames on the outside deck is spectacular.

Ciao T

 

Why not wear a lathed CD in your button hole? Better imaging - ie you'll stand out in the crowd

 

I cannot make this week, but intend to come to September's.

Edit: d**n, holiday first Thursday of September and prior engagement first Thursday of October. Thursday 1st November then

 

So is this happening at 7:30?

 

Folks,

Confirmed, we will be starting 7:30 tomorrow, on the deck outside the Thamesside in. Whoever is there first, please grab a Table outside (lest it rains).... For everyone, look for a geezer who looks something like this:



That will be me, this week probably with 3 day beard.

Ciao T
