B4L Autumn Meetup in Brighton - 10 comments

Tom at let's be sensible came up with a great idea, last week:

Basically, the Labour Party Conference will hit Brighton on the 25th September and leave town, somewhat more wobbly on its feet, on the 29th.



Of course, if you're a member you'll have heard all about this already, and if you're a local, you'll have already received a letter enquiring if you'd fancy giving your spare bedroom over to Labour activists from across the country, cooking their breakfast, and promising to turn them out before 9.

As Tom declared, there's no doubt a good few of you will be down on the South Coast to attend Conference, so what could be more splendid than to invite you all to a Labour bloggers get-together at The Earth and Stars, a local environmentally-focused pub, complete with organic beers, wines and spirits (as well as the usual stuff!).

It would be nice, as well as downright intriguing, to meet some of you lot, and I'm sure if we could get a dozen or so bloggers it would be convivial. The Earth and Stars is generally where the Brighton Bloggers group (of which I'm a member) goes for its meetings, and it's a pretty decent place. We normally book, or just grab, the upstairs room. It's only 2 or 3 minutes walk from Brighton station.

The actual day is up for grabs, but how about the evening of Wednesday, 28th September, from, say, 7.30-ish onwards?

Let me know if you fancy this. Maps, directions, and so on, are available on request.

Update: Before I forget, the place is a wireless HotSpot, so you can 'liveblog' the event (if you really must...) Proper update to follow.

Hiya Andrew,

Jo and I will be there, so hopefully we'll be able to make it (though I'm working, so if there's a fascinating fringe meeting on how to beat bullying or priorities for women in the third term I may have to cry off...)

Assuming I can make that time, I'll be there.

Ooh!

The day before my birthday, and only a few miles down the road...

I may find it hard to resist.

Antonia raises a good point. We should pick a time that doesn't clash with any interesting fringe meetings. I suppose that might be difficult to achieve though!

I don't know when any of the fringe things take place (anyone?), never having attended Conference, and I don't ordinarily get back from work until 7.30 ...

Well they start 8am in the morning till about 10pm at night, so it would be impossible to avoid them really.

I don't think any of the ones I want to attend are on the 28th at 7.30, so looking good. I'll turn up anyway, even if only for an hour or something.

Is it free to hire the upstairs then?

I haven't got around to booking anything yet (if that's even necessary) but I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Well it'll be nice to see you if you can make it.

Is this still tentative or is it a definite?

   
At 3:55 AM, September 15, 2005, Blogger Bloggers4Labour said...

Ah, sorry, will confirm the arrangements ASAP and let everyone know.

There appears to be complete lack of info on the Labour website about conference timings, but send email me the details and I'll try to make it!
