Well, going by your journal about the summer meet, it was the Princess Louisesmiley - ok

The Shakespear's Head was the pub where we officially met at last year's xmas do for the afternoon - it's on Kingsway, not High Holborn. Although as Amy said, a lot of people went to the Princess Louise at the summer meet to avoid the activities in Hyde Park.

You're doing a great job organising this 2legs!

Looks like th4e Shakespears head; as that has been on the page about the meet for a while, it is possible that some people might not check back to the page beforehand, to notice that it mighten have changed to the Princess louise smiley - erm but we can see how it goes there, and always wonder off later if we get bored there smiley - biggrinsmiley - ermsmiley - weird looks like my train will get into London Kings Cross about 12.30, so I should be there by 1 PM; any idea what time you'l be turning up? smiley - biggrinsmiley - ale

I'll be arriving straight to the Penderals Oak I expect, in the early evening.

I'm either going to have J for the afternoon, or drop in on another website meet-up that is going on in the afternoon. They don't often happen when I'm free to go, so I want to squeeze everything in while I have the chance. smiley - biggrin

I'll be arriving around three-ish at the pub (hopefully) with Alfredo Marquez in tow. So if you see a tall thin fella with blonde hair, dark beard and black coat and a much shorter guy wth red hair, that's either us or someone who looks freakishly similar.
