Laurieheels Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 a shame you did not have one planned in North America on October 31st. Then you could wear just about anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 We wear anything anyway regardless of the date One day a year is no good for free choice, we're democrats for the other 364 too! It's a shame you can't fly over for Francis's Halloween party on the 31st. Now, if we could only club together for the air fare.

new_look Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 OK so for thursday 6th Nov, an 'informal' meet so far just me and Xa, but anyone welcome to come. I think i will brave an appearence in my stilettos this time. My biggest fear has always been a physical clash, and the only reaction likely to happen in busy london is a few giggles and stares so i think i will not care. Do you wanna suggest a meeting place. At a station or somewhere. Ideas open i dont know whos coming from where but im likely to arrive at Kings Cross/St Pancras. Also re Leatherworks, do they have the sizes of the stuff you wanna try on available. It was mentioned that they are a custom shoemaker.

Firefox Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 We don't usually have itineries for these things when it's general shopping type stuff as it depends how long we spend in each shop etc but I should be along and if you give me a ring on my mobile on (07941) 172043 then I will tell you where exactly we are and make arrangements for meeting up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Following the hugely successful London Heel-Meet of 6th November, we can now turn our attention to the forthcoming BIRMINGHAM HEEK-MEET on Saturday 29th November 2003. Folks - please look at the above proposed itinerary and submit a posting on this thread below if you can make it! Cheefully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!

Heelfan Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 Do we have any additional candidates for Birmingham? Out of the list of expected attenders, do we have an expert on inner Birmingham's shopping geography? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!

Firefox Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Horror of horrors, I am double booked for the 29th I may be able to meet up for a late morning drink, but will have to be off by 12.00 midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Oh dear! The choice of a Saturday was made largely because we know it is usually a pretty good day for you Fox!

Jay1 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hi guys, i was looking forward to making my debut at this most esteemed event, however, i've just found out i'm actually in the recording studio with my band on that day I will do my very best to make the next one!

Firefox Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'm willing to lay big money that there are more shops open for longer on Sat than there are on Sunday. A closed shoe shop is a no shoe shop, so look at this this way, I did you a favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calv Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I've got a pretty good idea where all the shops are located. Xaphod and myself have already checked out Selfridges and the new Bull Ring. Most of the shops are in a pretty close area. Beware parking isn't cheap, esp in the Bull Ring multi storey. It is about £1 per hour. I'll try and sus out a cheaper parky place. We can always meet up in Nuneaton and condense the cars to minimise the $. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hello Calv! That's great news that you are familiar with Birmingham - we look forward to your guidance on the day! I don't think it would be prudent the change the meeting-place mid-way through the thread. Firefox suggested the present arrangement at the Bridge Tavern in New Street Station, and has advised against changing arrangements because some members don't pick up on the change. Also, some people (possibly including me) will be arriving at the station by train. However, there's nothing to stop the motorists from following your parrking advice before converging on the station. Cheers, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!

Heelfan Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hard Luck Daz! Even after your first two Heel-Meets you've become quite a key member of the group. We'll just have to "Fly the flag" in Brum without you, and look forward to the next time you can join us. In the meantime, I hope those two experiences have given you the confidence to enjoy some great street-heeling in your own neck of the woods in the meantime (encouraged by Jade, of course!).

Cheers, Heelfan Ater reading my post again I realised my mistake, I didn't intend to change the meeting point, just allow people who drive an alternative place to park their cars FOC and then condense into 1 car (or the train from Nuneaton) to Brum. Looking forward to the day. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always parked down by the rag market in one of those council multi-storeys, (Pershore Street?). It used to be dead cheap but with the council jumping onto the "tax the motorist" bandwagon I don't know now. I may park at Sparkbrook and continue by bus.

Calv Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I know the one you mean, its called the market car park I think. Sparkbrook sounds tempting, finish up there for a balti. Yum Yum. I'll try and sus out the charges for the pershore street car park, just need a delivery that takes me through brum. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity.

Heelfan Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Mainly, I'm just posting here again to get this Birmingham Meet thread back to prominence at the top of the list until this coming Saturday when we all meet.

Heelfan Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Calling all Heel-Meeters, Calling all Heel-Meeters!

I hope this doesn't put anyone off coming, but bring your waterproof coat and your thermals! Still waiting to hear a few confirmations so as to know exactly who to expect in the group before we move off at 11am and hit central Birmingham.
