Pretty sure I'll be able to make it.
Last meet up we all wore safety pins on lapels, but I didn't see them, luckily Caterina saw me otherwise I'd have been going up to every and anyone!
Maybe we should have a slow cooker as a centre piece on the table this time??

I'd love to come, if only to see if the pics posted by Haribo do you justice Aussie :rotfl: but like Heavenleigh I'm up in the midlands too and although I love London its just a bit too far for a day trip.
Loving the idea of having a slow cooker as table decoration :rotfl: sounds like the sort of thing I would do, nicely arranged with veg around the side and maybe a t-towel flower adorning it.
I hope loads of people are there and you all take loads of photos will look forward to seeing them on here and FB.

I think it would be worth the journey Jak if only to see if Aussie and Churchie wear the same outfits they wore last time. :whistle:

Don't count me out yet folks...I can get to either Stansted or Gatwick for €40 return, now just have to work out which is nearer to centre city...would just be coming for day as I can't see us getting back to Oz for a while and would love to see you again Aussie as well as all you folks who are hoping to be there....think that I am becoming addicted to this meet up idea!

OK Aussie, you don't think we should wear these matching outfits then? Maybe something a little more boring;)
( psst Aussie, Haribo's photos show us in our Pearly Queen outfits, decorated with pearly buttons, not sequins:D)

Marie - Gatwick is the nearest to central London, I'd recommend you fly there. You can get a train from Gatwick to Victoria Station in London which is fast but quite pricey, or you could get a coach, which also stops a couple of miles from the pub and which is slow but cheap. A black cab would complete your journey, unless you're brave enough for a bus or tube ride.

I wish I was going....I simply can't afford it right now, but I'm sure you'll all have a blast.0
