The only thing is I don't know what to do with the glasses afterwards, I don't fancy taking them all home again.
So, that idea has been nipped into the bud by jeanelle who is using my 3D glasses for nefarious purposes instead. I am sure you are all inconsolable.

I really do not know where is best to post this invitation!

Diane65 has organised a trip down with the Manchester FMUKers to meet up with the London FMUKers, and I have agreed to organise the London end, however, we thought it would be good to open invite to everyone, whether they be from London/Manchester or not, so if anyone is interested in to just drop by on 20 April to meet other FMUKers, for a bite to eat, a drink (does not have to be alcoholic!), or just to meet and chat, then you are all welcome.

The details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, 20 April 2013
Time: 12noon to 3pm
Venue: Yager Bar

So I can gauge how many people are interested, and negotiate a deal, please let me know if you would like to attend.

Please leave your name, below, so I can compile a list of all interested to come.

Thanks!

I am all excited already! :cheer:

Edit: Of course, if your plus ones would like to come too, please bring them along! ;)

:wall: :wall: :wall: I am in London 49 Saturdays a year.
And when does the one of the other three turn out to be?
You guessed: it is the 20th, non-negotiable :angry:
I will have to leave at 10am and my train back will be arriving in London about 8:30 pm.
I guess by then you will have all gone?!

I'm in exactly the same position :wall: . I'm so annoyed that I'm going to be missing this.
I do hope it is successful & is done again - soon.
