Is there interest in a London meetup?

I’m surprised there doesn’t seem to be much London or UK activity and wondered whether anyone out there wants to help me change that? (Or point me in the right direction if I’m missing it.)

If there’s nothing planned I don’t mind trying to play host and planning something in the near future: I’m thinking perhaps a get together for food, followed by a short trip around some of the sights for photo opportunities.

Full disclosure: I got the email about Connect Live 2019 and it sounded interesting so I’m kind of planning to up my activity levels around these parts.

This is something I’ve wondered for a little while myself now! Very rarely see local guides or contributors from around here! I’d be interested in a London meetup potentially depending on date and times of course!

I’ve subscribed to this thread to see what other interest it attracts. Feel free to post some info like locations/dates etc if you decide to host it and ill see if I can attend!

So far it looks like it’d just be the two of us… It looks like some meetups did happen last year but there’s nothing on the horizon in the future.

Is there anybody else out there in the London (UK) area?

I’m visiting London towards the end of April, and I would be interested in joining a meet-up if there is one!

I’d be keen for a meetup in April, haven’t been to one in a while!

Hi everyone. A brief update: After writing this I discovered that a meetup happened in November. Not wanting to step on anybody’s toes, I got in touch with the person who had posted about it. She said that a number of local guides had moved elsewhere and invited me to join them on their forum. Having done that, I haven’t really felt I wanted to get involved there as the meetups are not local guide focused, just general London get togethers.

Therefore, I think we’re back in business! I am planning to organise a meetup on 13th April. How does that date sound? Any suggestions as to what and where would be gratefully received, but initially I’m thinking: meet for a quick lunch somewhere fairly central, then head to somewhere to do some intensive fact checking, maybe focusing on wheelchair accessibility, and taking pictures along the way.

I won’t arrive in London until the 19th, so best of luck if you meet on the 13th!

How long are you around? I’m busy over easter, but would 27th work for you?

@hawkida I leave on the 26th, unfortunately :disappointed:
