Official London Meet, Summer 2002 (20 July 2002)
With Azara. We met up at the bandstand in Hyde Park and then someone, probably Abi, led us to a spot over on the south side in sight of the Albert Memorial, where people played softball and we all sat around and chatted.
Met Also Ran, Hoovooloo (now SoRB), Anna, Mina.
Then went to the Leicester Arms, a pub just north of Picadilly Circus, where we had a room upstairs booked. I ended up sitting at a table with Bossel, Trillian's Child and Zarquon's Singing Fish. There was a quiz.
For some reason my photos of this are dated Thursday 18th. The Meet definitely took place on a Saturday.
