We have moved the location, we have been on the prow for a while for a new place to make home of our UMD meet ups and after a bit of exploring we have come up with The Penderels Oak in Holborn. After a couple of good test runs we are sure this will turn into a firm fave for future meets. More info on this below.
<B>The Date:</B> Thursday the 27th September 2007
<B>The Time:</B> From 5pm till late ( Pub chuck out time at 1am )
<B>The Location:</B> The Penderels Oak in Holborn 283-288 High Holborn, WC1V 7HP
Nearest tube, Holborn and Chancery Lane, see the attached map for directions.
<B>Why did you choose the new location?</B>
We out grown our old location, we have a lot of people coming to the meets these days, sadly the old pubs in Soho were just to small, crowded and noisy. Also our friends at Soho council do not permit many late licenses in Soho making it impossible to even find a bar open till 12.
The new pub is nice and large, it has 2 large bars, the main upstairs bar is where we will be based. There is plenty of seating and no risk of being crammed in a tiny corner, it's also a nice open layout making the group easy to spot.
The pub serves a very good selection of Ales,Wine,Beers,Spirits,alcopops and cocktails. They do a good range of soft drinks and they do pub grub and offers too, where else in the city can you get a Beer, Burger and Chips for a fiver.
Last of all this pub has a late license so it does not close till 1am, making plenty of time to sink a few drinks.
<B>How do i find the right group?</B>
Bring a copy of the A-Z or a London tube map. Leave the A-Z near you as the meeting gets underway so we can all find each other. Also look out for an England flag which i will also leave hanging around. Look for the Shirt! Fetchingly modeled by Easy_as
<B>What’s the idea of these meets?</B>
The idea of these meets are for people from the WAM community to meet other fellow wammers and old and new. It’s a top excuse to sink lots of beer, discuss all thing wet and messy, plan future events and generally get to know each other a little better in real life. Also a great place to offer your services, Buy and sell wam stuff and have fun! But don’t worry we don’t always talk about wam, - a lot of other general chitter chatter goes on to, so feel free to talk about anything you like.
If you have never been before please come if you can, everyone is friendly. We have a great group and we always welcome new people, so pop along.
<B>Im not from London am I invited?</B>
Anyone and everyone who wants to come is invited, we have had people come long and far to attend these meets. If you up for it come along.
<B>London again – why?</B>
Plenty of meets are in London because there are lots of wammers living in the south, also it’s a easy place to commute to. These days lots more action is happening outside London, such as Leeds and Warrington – so currently you have 3 active “Meets” to choose from. Other areas are planning “meets” too, look out for your nearest gathering!!!! Or organize one!!!!
Well that's it – pop you name on the list if you want to come along.
Please refer to http://umd.net/forums.html?topicid=91988 for a map and a pic of the pub.
Any questions please pm us.
<B>See you there!</B>
