I had intended to announce the venue for the Fourth Bloggers4Labour Meetup several days ago, but a lack of local knowledge – and the discovery that Man Utd play Benfica that evening – caused a few delays and a few changes of plan. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and suggestions.
We’re going to meet on Tuesday, 26th September, at the Cornerhouse, from approximately 7.00 pm. We’ll be in the Ground Floor Bar.
The address is: 70 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 5NH (click for map). You can see the GMEX on that map, just a few minutes away to the north-west, so Conference delegates and assorted hangers-on should have no trouble finding the place.

If you’re a Labour blogger (or a partner, companion, or friend – within reason), or perhaps someone who’d like to join the club, you’re very welcome to attend. I know not everyone can make Tuesday, but there are a lot of events going on, and there’s nothing to stop people popping in late, having been to a prior event, or – for that matter – leaving us early (not that you’ll want to, of course).
By the way, if someone fancies producing a new sign – perhaps something colourful and A4 – you have my blessing.
One last thing, could people leave a comment (or drop me an email) if they’re planning to come? It’s not essential, but it would be useful to have a rough estimate of the turnout.
I’ll try, but Tuesday’s not great for me
Book a table somewhere for food at 9 ish and I’ll try to join you for that
I’m going to be around so I’ll try and make it.
will try too. look forward to meeting y’all.
New sign?
Have you no respect for history and heritage???
forward not back…
Given that I took that photo, I don’t mind! But I am a bit proud of it as a result
I was wondering why the sign had a crucifix on it. I shall endeavour to be there.
Alex
Count me in as a definite possibility
Plan to see you there.
Can’t wait. Hopefully see you all there!
Hello boys,
Hope to see you there. Any women apart from me intending to come?
Antonia, all I can say is: “oh ye of little faith!” There should be two other women there, though I still have reminders to issue, and chasing-up to do, so it’s possible we’ll attract more (any assistance greatly appreciated!)
I’ll see you there; will probably nip back to my hotel first to ditch the hi viz vest and wash the dust of a days stewarding off my feet, but I’ll be there….
Hi my name is Rav and i’m new to this but am the delegate for Maidstone Weald CLP and we’ve started a blog and would like to come along as well if that’s ok
You’re most welcome to come along!
Hi, I’m planning to come along too, if that’s ok.
Great, see you there.
BT and the Hansard Society are holding a fringe event on the use of ‘new media’ (blogs, podcasts etc) by politicians on Tuesday evening at 5.30pm at the Raddison Hotel. Jack Straw and Shahid Malik are spekaing. Might be interesting before the get together later…..
Dammit, I missed it. Sorry!
