A brilliant pub, we always make a visit when we go to London. If you could schedule your January 2019 meet up for Saturday the 19th that’d be handy :wink:

Hopefully see you on the 19th of January!

Hi @AlexaAC I did try to summit my Host a Meetup application on Wednesday, however it appears I could not select Friday the 9th of November (as it was greyed out).

I’m also struggling with adding my photos from our meet up, as apparently the photo size is too big for Connect to handle. It would be great if our photos could be resized automatically by Connect, to the desired format & size, instead of telling us to resize & try again :wink:

Oh, I didn’t pay attention lately. I am sorry that I missed this meet up. I am looking forward for the next one. :slight_smile:

First of all, apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but let me explain why.

I am keen to get more involved in Local Guides activity, and there doesn’t seem to be an awful lot of noise from the UK around Connect. I am interested in going to a London based meet-up, but there doesn’t seem to be anything forthcoming. I figured that posting here might garner the interest of @IrenaS and anybody who signed up to this thread previoiusly.

I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes and barge in taking over running something that’s previously been working perfectly well, so I wondered if there are any plans for something in the near future, or whether I ought to host something myself? Plans are extremely nebulous right now but I was vaguely thinking of meeting in a pub for drinks and food, then heading off to do some group photo shooting for a little while, probably on a weekend.

Thoughts? Interest? Comments?

The other thread I started on the subject seems to have gotten a bit lost quite quickly, but it’s over here:

Hi @hawkida

You are absolutely right… Most of the London LG’s do not bother with Connect for all the reasons previously stated.

With G+ being killed off shortly, we are currently announcing about London Meetups via Happening London on Reddit:
