Hi Teyo,

Is this an ideal time to arrange a London Puppeteers meetup? It would  
be great to meet you, if you have time, and I think it''s been a while  
since the last one.

How about the weds evening? This would allow for anyone on the just  
the beginners or advanced courses to attend...

Regards,

Mike

That sounds great to me - I''m just doing the last 2 days so meeting on
Wednesday night sounds good to me.

It would be good to talk through issues with other Puppeteers (if
that''s what we''re called!) face to face.

Regards,
Andy

I will keep Wednesday open.  Not knowing my way around London, I''ll 
leave the location up to you.  It would be nice if we could meet 
somewhere within walking distance of the training facility just for 
convenience.  We should be done with the class by 5PM
everyday.

Excellent! Unfortunately, I''m not that au-fait with places to go in  
London - I''ll be travelling down from Brighton - but I''m sure
there
are folk on the list that are...

So, anyone got any good suggestions for places to go around here?

The problem with most pubs in the area is they are packed weekday early
evenings. A few very slightly further away with a recommendation from fancy
a pint:
http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1598.html
http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub3176.html
http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1592.html
or this one that''s closer:
http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub847.html

I''ll be joining you if I can...

here:

...  it specialises in Cider too. Yeehaw.

Handy map stuff:

in London.

Cheers,

Mike
