roddy 5,077 Report post Posted July 17, 2014 Short notice, but hopefully we'll get a few folk out. Myself and Realmayo are on board. There's no specific plan, but it'll be Thursday 24th July Central London location After work time - say from six onwards Probably either in a pub which does food so people can eat if they need to, or if the weather's nice perhaps in a park? Who's interested? Apologies for the short notice - I've been meaning to do this, and am only getting around to actually organising it in the week before I leave the city. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny同志 517 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Next time, arrange a meetup in my village. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imron 5,102 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 There's nothing to stop you arranging one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny同志 517 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 But who's coming? Just kidding. A meetup in Changsha might be more realistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roddy 5,077 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Three definite, a pencilled-in, and a few wait-and-sees. Not bad. I quite like the picnic in the park idea. I'm thinking Russell Square - nice little park, near to a couple of tube lines, small enough nobody will get lost trying to find us, few supermarkets and sandwich places nearby for people to get food, and if it rains there are nearby pubs to retreat to. Plus I'm quite often nearby anyway. How does that sound, and does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Yang Chuanzhuang, where will you be coming from? Will need to see what the weather's like (if it's like today I'll be relocating us to besides the chiller unit in the Brunswick Centre Waitrose).

adrianlondon 64 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 How irritating. You're all meeting up less than 5 minutes walk from my flat and I'm not going to be there! Next time I'm in London for more than just a weekend I'll have to copy this idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melanie1989 62 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I was hoping that there'd be a meet up in England, but not the opposite end of the country! Am i the only one who's stuck up north alone? I'd love to meet other people who are interested in China, but no-one's bothered up here. Japanese rules the north! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shelley 1,788 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Sounds like its gonna be fun for all those going. i am not able to travel to London at such short notice. But I would love to come to town and go to Gerrard St and spend an afternoon browsing the bookshops, clothes shops etc. So if anybody ever plans one of these outings, I will do my best to get there. Enjoy and we expect lots of photos of happy smiley faces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zhouhaochen 240 Report post Posted July 19, 2014 If they get more than four, than we have to do another one in Beijing to top that. No way there are more Chinese Forum members in London than Beijing. ChTTay, what you say? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
