Im based in Central London Mon-Fri and North London on the weekend but can be flexible so whatever the masses say. Would be good to put faces to nametags and meet up with like minded people..

Erm from what I remember maybe 15-20. It coincided with Dan Pearce being in London during that time. It was a really fun day.

Would also be interested.

Is it a case of picking a date and a pub and turning up?
Or if a smaller crowd, perhaps a meal instead?

I will be in London January 28th for 6 nights, and would likely be available to attend if it's within my visit window.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Cheers gang.

Would people be interested in being part of a TRF London whatsapp group for things just like this? I seem to have a whatsapp group for everything these days....

If you do anything between the 7th and 14th of July I will be hanging out in London, by then you can take shots at me about our loss in the cricket.

The last London gtg organised was an exclusive VIP event. Nobody (expect those who got invited) knew if it actually went ahead.
Funny enough the organiser got the banned from the forums.

Yes, way too long. If there's ever another they are well worth it. I've been to many and even my wife says they're a blast.

Who would normally organise these things? A longstanding member perhaps? I'm new to the forums, but it would be great to attend a London "meet up."

I did, with the help of the locals. But I had been a part of a handful before and after the London GTG. You need to set a location, date, & time, be willing to adjust to others schedules and hope for the best.

Over time some GTGs have gotten bigger, involving more logistics. With that came some problems. My GTG participation over the years was much less problematic and always a pleasant experience.
