Well obviously i will be at the Southampton one. I will try London in April but it's not a definite, will know nearer the time. Same with Birmingham 🙂
 
Looks like it will be lonely in Leeds

I can't do the April London one as I'm already booked for something, but I'll aim to do the one in November - I missed it last time as I was at a meeting all day!
 
I will hopefully try and get along to another one somewhere (public transport permitting).
 
I am looking forward to the meet up in London, probably in Nov and March, depending on progress with my recovery. Are these at lunchtime or in the evening

We normally start at around 11 am until around 4-5pm, but people can drop in when they want and stay as long as they want - it's all very informal, we don't have guest speakers or anything, just a chat! 🙂
 
Norwich for me. Not a fan of that Wetherspoons (it's actually a Lloyds so has a club rather than pub atmosphere) but I'll still be there if that's the consensus. Compleat Angler or Coach And Horses would also be good options being just as close to the station (the latter being a brew pub being a huge plus as well IMO)
 
Thanks for the info about timings for the meet ups.
I am now planning to make it to the April London meeting and I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet up with people who have given such good support online.
 
Great to see a Norwich fan Bob! I suggested the spoons as know that's a frequently visited meeting place for folks on here. But I'm certainly happy to meet elsewhere 🙂
 
I usually pick a Wetherspoons as they tend to be quite big places and food and drink is relatively cheap, but happy to go to an alternative if they are likely to allow for an unplanned number of people turning up! 🙂 Sometimes we get 3 or 4 people, but we once got 35! 😱
 
You also know what you get at a Weatherspoons. Nice buildings, good beer, Cheap food. 😎
 
Leeds or Manchester for me I think. The Manchester date is perilously close to a friends 40th so depends on whether she opts for that weekend or the one after, will see if I can pin her down!
 
Northerner if you want any venue ideas Scarborough has a JD Wetherspoon which is across the road from the train station & also on the main high street with lots of shops etc. If you want to check it out it's called The Lord Roseberry.
 
I love Scarborough Gill, but the problem is that it's quite hard to get there for a lot of people. Nothing to stop you from arranging your own meet up there though, for more local folk! 🙂
 
Norwich would be my local one, but unfortunately I am working that Saturday, plus it is my wedding. Anniversary and youngest daughters birthday...
