Somewhere in the Capital - 9 comments

Bloggers4Labour will be a year old on February 16th, which just happens to fall on a Thursday, so why not celebrate somewhere in London among blogging chums? Here's an account of our last meetup in Brighton, back in September.

Let me know, or leave a comment, if you're interested and will be free (either for the Thursday or the following Friday, so we can see which day is most popular).

Venue is totally tbc. I only really know the West End, City, and inner SE, but a venue close to the corridors of power would be interesting, and might encourage a few shy Portcullis House types to join us. Suggestions, anyone?

I'm well aware that this is a bit hard on our many members from - in particular - the Midlands, Wales, and Manchester, so get in touch if you're a B4L member and fancy arranging a rival/complementary get-together a bit further up the map.

Thursday would mean a play rehearsal for me - and let's face it, I'm not growing this beard for fun! :-)

But Friday should be fine. (Council work - and beard - permitting.)

Anyone going to Billy Bragg at the Barbican on the 2nd?

At the moment there's only one vote for a rival Northern do, but if we can get some more names for that, then that would be great. I doubt I'd be able to go - being right on the South coast doesn't help - but I'd be keen to help it happen.
