GRCade London Meet up! 15 attended! Could Skarjo take oestrogen then fight Serena Williams to the death?

[Choclet-Milk]

A Pride parade and an Adele concert?

Who picked this date?!

[Grumpy David]

Wait the festival Darkrula referred to wasn't the opera the Pride Parade?!

[floydfreak]

The meeting location pub should be fine and not that crowded IMO.

No, there's a big festival in Hyde Park!

Let's just admit that there's so much going on in central London on that date that it's probably best to go camping in the middle of the Walthamstow Reservoirs.

Nah let's go to the zoo!

theres always something going on in London; i think youre being a bunch of pansies

[Choclet-Milk]

I mean, several people have mentioned they struggle with anxiety, and both events will attract significant crowds and start around the same time and place that we're supposed to be meeting, but sure.

[Mafro]

I’m literally not coming if people are playing Mario kart on switches

The pub we are meeting in i have been too when there has been a concert at Hyde Park which i went too that evening and the pub was not that busy. The pub shouldn't be a problem for meeting IMO. The pub has a good sized garden area

[Grumpy David]

lots of 'maybes' on that list
sort it out

[Herdanos]

I don't really mind where we go or what we do. The appeal is catching up with you fine folk.

As long as we can sit down and hear one another I think we'll be fine.

To be clear, I'm not expecting us to somehow find an empty pub and make it our own, but if there are places that are absolutely heaving, I'd rather we weren't all stood in a corner somewhere, unable to understand one another for the background noise.

I guess some of it will be weather dependent too. If it's a gloriously sunny day then we will have more options.

According to the Met Office, its meant to be a bit cloudy on Saturday. Just a 10% chance of rain.

The previous pub would not let me book an area with them. Alongside the concerns around the potential noise/busyness of British Summer Time in Hyde Park i have decided to move the meeting point:

The Sir John Balcombe, Marylebone

21 Balcombe St, London NW1 6HE

Closest Stations: Marylebone, Baker Street

1pm, Saturday 2nd July

Thanks all, apologies for the last minute change of plans. I've booked an area for 9 at this pub, we can see how we go and what we fancy doing as the day goes on!

[DarkRula]

Awesome. Got it noted in my document and had a look at the location. Can have a nice walk along the canal to get to it.

[Tsunade]

Sounds good to me, looks like it's about the same distance for me to travel as before!

[floydfreak]

That is fine for me looks a nice pub too. As i will be with you guys till 5-6pm then i will head back

I'm staying in Walthamstow on Friday and Saturday night.

Hopefully not in a tent though.
