Hi

Can somone enlighten me as to where in London the meet is. If I manage to get there I'd be arriving at Victoria since the bus from Oxford goes there.

I'm hopeless on the Tube & lose all sense of direction as soon as I enter into that underground world!
 
Great! I'll come after karate - most probably arrive about 3pm 🙂 Look forward to making some new friends!

You need to cross the road to Victoria rail station, then follow the signs to Victoria Underground. Catch the Victoria line to Oxford Circus and change there to the Central line to Holborn 🙂 It's only a few stops. Not sure if there is a bus, perhaps one of the locals knows?
 
Ah man, I was going to come to this, until i just checked the date and Charlton are playing at home that day, so I shall be there :( damn it.

Hopefully the next one will be on an away day or not in season 😉
 
Circle D/ Forum..

Circle D Clarifications....

Hi guys...

Sorry for any confusion but I never actually said/conf Circle D would have it's birthday in London this year, I think this was 'assumed' and put onto the calendar. I have held it two years running in London but felt this year it should be based in Kent where majority of our members are. Plus am going for the countryside side of things this year instead of the hustle and bustle of London.

As previously posted Circle D is totally seperate from this forum and something I started four years ago for 18-30's with diabetes. For the last two years we have advertised the birthday as a forum meet too, to include all you guys. I have made many friends on here and continue to advertise the forum and pop in when I can.

Each 'circle d birthday' the 18-30's age bracket gets opened to all ages as over the years I have met fabulous D people younger and older than our age bracket so is nice to include all once a year. Our four year bday event is posted on the events page and you are all very welcome 🙂

Very happy there is a London event planned...woohoo go Northey!!!

Hope that all makes sense ?!

D love...

It makes perfect sense Shelley 🙂 And it also makes sense for you to have a birthday celebration in Kent! I tried to make our London Meet as far apart from yours as I could so that those who wish to attend both don't have two in rapid succession. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to Teapot Island but will try my best 🙂

Had just decided I was brave enough to venture to London on my own, and got as far as finding wonderfully cheap rail tickets, ?5 each way, to then think I should check my calendar before booking. I have just found out the date clashes with my annual get-together with old work buddies from 20+ years ago. Much as I would love to come and have another day out with you guys, and meet some more of the forum members, I really do look forward to these annual meets too and as I confirmed my attendance with them some weeks ago, don't feel I can let them down.

Sorry, I really would have loved to have had another day out. I will try and get brave and venture even further afield in the future. Hope you have a brilliant day - I'm sure you all will.

Hope you can make it! It should be fairly easy to find I think, as it's on a big main road (not hidden away like some laces are!) although I have no idea about parking etc. as I don't drive.
