smithy270492 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Hey guys figured would start the ball rolling early... and feels wrong to have an LFCC thread without a meetup thread! so 2016 we had a lot of people meet up on the Thursday, arranged amazingly by zonky :) mostly it was those of us that had paid for hotels prior to the thursday date cancellation, so we were stuck in London with nothing to do... so we met up instead and personally i think it was a great day :) so im wondering, anyone else planning to get into London a day early in 2017, and be interested in repeating a thursday meet up? obviously this is separate from the saturday night meetup and quiz arranged by Mr. Pirate... i will let him do his own thread for that UPDATE:: There Will now only be a proper organised meet up for the evening on the Thursday. The daytime plans have been scrapped :) However John1980 and Zonky are meeting at 12pm in front of the London Eye if anyone is free and wants to join. Zonky hopes that showmasters announce pass pick-up times for the Thursday like they did last year which saves a stressful pickup during the actual con weekend. But the Thursday evening is all set! It is being held once again in the Crown and Sceptre at 7pm. This will be held in the cellar. Lots of room so invite your friends! :) Please if you can let Zonky know if you are coming to have food in the C&S. Either on this thread or via facebook if you haven’t already done so J rough estimates for food numbers about 2 weeks in advance. There will be music, geeky chit chat and party shenanigans. Everyone is welcome :) Edited June 9, 2017 by smithy270492 update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioVl Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'd love to! Instead of using the Thursday meet-up to fill the gap left by the cancellation, I'll probably plan my vacation with the meet-up in mind. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Name Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If I do book a hotel (which I am strongly considering, but won't be for a couple of months) then it will be for the Thursday as well so I'll be up for it. If I don't book it then I can always meet up anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebster118 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Am planning to go to London for the day as before, but will need some time to check in and freshen up, as well as possibly getting an early night for Friday. Do plan to go to Forbidden Planet so might meet there if this goes ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do plan to go to Forbidden Planet so might meet there if this goes ahead. yh not planning to arrange proper details till nearer the time for obvious reasons as we dont know numbers, etc. this year we met at a pub, had a drink, then made our way down to forbidden planet... before back to pub at olympia. if plans remains similar, people can tag along for which ever bit they like, or all of it if they wish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Of course. It is a long way off, and there's a smal chance I may not even be able to go to the event. Just a case of wait and see for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I decided to go totally old school and have a little chap knocking up some woodcuts and etchings, he's a master of disguise so promised neither he or all his equipment would be noticed. At least they can't be hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryMcGarrett Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well i have to say that this year's meet up was ok. It had some not interesting moments like the Forbidden Planet which for me was a waste of time and money but the pub is ok. This year i've met my winning team for Saturday quiz so i can say that it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 W Forbidden Planet which for me was a waste of time and money *chokes* wha? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! Forbidden Planet is the Hall Of Mightyness! Going there at lunch time today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
