In a vague attempt to think beyond the end of 2007, and prematurely stave off the January blues, I was wondering whether any Filmwasters might like to meet up in London sometime in January? We could show a few prints, down a few espresso (or something stronger), and generally have a fine old chit-chat. I wasn't thinking of a picture-taking expedition (although cameras wouldn't be banned, of course) as much as an informal gathering in a cosy pub/cafe somewhere.
Consulting my smart (and somewhat empty) new 2008 diary, I was going to kick off with Sunday 20th, or Saturday 26th/Sunday 27th as suggestions. Any thoughts? :)
-
sounds good to me - although I'd have to plump for the 26/27 weekend. 20th is the Helen's birthday so not sure I could convince her a trip to london to talk about photography would be a good idea .....
-
That sounds like fun. Yes please.
:)

I'm up for a meet - I think I could do either dates...
I do have a few mud pie shots from Seasalter I could show. Plus some new platinum/palladium stuff if you fancy seeing that...
Not only that, I still owe you the postage fee for the Hanemooly stuff.

Shall we say Sunday 27th then? Time and place to be decided nearer the time? (Suggestions of suitable meeting places from London dwellers most welcome.)
-
I'm in. Sunday 27th is good. Ailsa, why not meet up at the Photographers' Gallery and take it from there? We may never leave the premises, but that won't be a problem, surely?
:)
-
excellent - I'll be abel to spend all my loverly xmas book tokens ... I'm in
-
Weekends are no good for me. Any Polanoiders on here?

Due to an unexpected Christmas present, I can no longer make Sunday 27th, but Saturday 26th is do-able. Can others make the Saturday instead? Sorry to be a pain... ::)
-
Fine by me. I could do either day and a Happy New Year to you all.
Mark
-
sure - 26th it is
-
How about midday on the 26th at The Photographers' Gallery caf? then?
-
brilliant - see everyone there
-
Looking forward to it. Especially as I celebrate a little 50th birthday the next day, so a little present of a book or three might have to find its way into my bag whilst I'm there.

Saturday is good for me too. Hurrah!
-
p.s.
Leon/Ailsa, can one of you please remind me of this nearer the time? Thanks.
-
Ooo, I might actually be able to make this, excellent.
Hopefully I'll see you there.

Luverly. Looks like we should have a nice little gang. And there's nothing better than being around a bunch of fellow 'pushers' to justify handing over the credit card in the bookshop... 8)
-
Janet too!! Excellent news.
I've arranged for Granny to come and look after the kids, so I can escape the house without a guilty conscience. I may have to leave my 'flexible friend' at home though. That bookshop is the Devil. Get thee behind me.

I agree - you should probably leave your acquaintances out of this.

now that's my kind of gal
just got an email from the shop - thay dont accept national book tokens! blaarghh. I've got ?60 of them saved up for the trip. on the other hand, they do have copies of Kenna's new book on Mont St Michel though - might have to splash some cash on that. Anyone wnat to buy some book tokens?
-
Now why did you have to spoil it... Kenna's new book. Oh dear. That means my flexible friend will get even more of a grump on.

Oooh can I come, can I come??
I may have to meet someone (obligatory) on Saturday but if I can make it, I'll pop in and say hello. I don't think I've met any filmwaster in London before.

it would be good to meet you Jin
-
Just chatting to Jim Green on Friday and he is hoping to come along on the 26th too. Nice!
-
Can't make it to this one, I'm afraid... :( Could not get out of a lunch appointment that I arranged a while earlier, so it looks like I'll only catch you all next time there is a similar meet-up.
Have fun,
Jin
-
That's a shame Jin - hopefully next time.
-
Oh, Sunday 27th is today! Sad to have missed it... unfortunately I have only just joined the Filmwasters forum. Oh well, maybe next time.
-
Jin - sorry you couldnt make it. There will definitely be a next time
Stu - you'd be welcome along too.
