    I'll be bringing Mr Catz! He's been to a meet before! Hope to go to an exhibition first if anything decent and free/cheap is on that is! What time is everyone meeting up?
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    You big meanie Tired Mum. :D
    I hope to get there around noon. To everyone who can make it I look forward to catching up. I probably won't get another chance to come on this thread again as we fly out tonight.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Aussie,

    Unfortunatly I am not sure that I will be able to make it, we are still up to our ears in mess after the move and I dont feel I can swan off for a day and leave the others to it, I am not ruling it out completly, depends how much I can get done in the mean time.

    Have a safe trip over xx

    I'll be there - I always seem to manage to get to the London meets somehow :D It'll be lovely to see so many old friends and hopefully some new ones too.

    From what I can remember, Whitehall isn't too far from Victoria Coach Station - but there HAS to be an underground connection.
    There is, sort of (Circle Line from Victoria to Westminster or Embankment) but the thing is, there's a good old walk involved at both ends.

    Just had a look at the journey planner on the TFL website which recommends a no.11 bus from stop "W" outside the coach station to almost right outside the pub (you need to get off at the stop called Horse Guards' Parade).

    They don't sell tickets on the buses in Central London these days so you either need to have a Day Travelcard, or an Oyster card with sufficient money on it (£1.20 each way) or buy a ticket from the machine at the bus stop which is a lot more expensive.

    Tired Mum, the venue is the same one that we went to the last time. The Wetherspoons pub. Lord Moon of the Mall. It's at noon for lunch. Be lovely to see you again Bgn Rzl.

    Hey, I can't wait! I am not even going to the Tea Dance that I was half-planning to attend, so I can definitely be there from noon!
