London, Uk Meet (Nov 30/dec 1)

[iloveboots]

Though quite a long ways in advance, is there interest to hold a Worldwide Heel Meet in London, UK the weekend Nov 30/Dec 2, 2012? To indicate you may be interested complete the poll. David

[JSLS]

Living in London, I'd absolutely be up for that. Keep me posted.

[Foxyheels]

I have just checked and it's my weekend off, so dependent on football fixtures (not out till mid June) we usually have a weekend in London around that time of the year so it's a possibility we could attend.

[Tech]

You should put this into the community calendar too, that way you can get people to RSVP on the event.... A new feature our old calendar didnt have :-)

[iggy_ze]

I would love to attend, it's only about 50 miles away for me. The only big problem is whether I will still be employed by then, have to wait and see what happens. So thats a definite maybe. Ian

[LovesHiHeels]

I voted maybe but it could be more like a yes.

[Steve63130]

The missus and I were just talking about going to southern England later this year. This could work out for us. We're somewhere between a maybe and a yes. Steve

[Dr. Shoe]

Looks like it could be a big one then!

[Steve63130]

KH: Not really mine either. Maybe we could find a play or opera or watch you perform your magic on unsuspecting women in a pub somewhere! LOL Steve

[iloveboots]

Would appear that the Stars are Aligning! Should we go ahead and declare this our 10th Anniversary Worldwide Heel Meet and go for it! Using the formula we used in previous London meets, a lunch, afternoon shopping or event and dinner for Friday night. A Saturday day event, possibly same pub we used before near the bridge with excursions for those who desire; dinner; and an evening set of events that people can pick and choose from depending on taste. David

Awesome feedback Kneehighs. Will send a note this weekend to our previous London organizing team and get the ball rolling on the Miller; Hotels; previous attendee notes; and we'll set up a tentative agenda of events. It is six months away but as you know, that six months will fly by quickly and as we have many folks planning to attend from far flung locations, pre-planning is absolutely necessary. Looked at airfares today and there are some good prices available now, booking early. David

[KneeHighOnly]

Am in London a fair bit, so I may be able to make this. Can't say for definite. Astrid.

[crotchhiboots]

I just might be able to be there. CHB

[flavio]

Hi guys, there's a long time I don't appear around here. I'll be in London this year October 26th until 29th, family vacation, tickets bought. It's a shame the meet you're planning will be a month later. It would be my first heel meet

[iloveboots]

Great response so far Sorry for lack of updates/feedback the past week or so. The computer adsl modem dies and have just received a new vdsl one from our provider. Flights are booked. Have been in touch witht he apartment hotel folks in London and will have accommodation information shortly. Will begin to canvas past attendees one on one over the next few weeks. Getting psyched! David

[LiveAndLearn]

I live about 2 hours from London. I work on the saturday so I wouldn't be able to stay over as such, as my funds wouldn't allow it anyway. But i'd deffinatly come down for the daytime activites if there were to be any on the friday!

[iloveboots]

Hi Kneehighs, Thank you for the help on rounding up our Boot Meet friends. Will begin the list as we have done on previous meets as well as begin to detail the meet specifics/ideas/questions. I will have time this weekend to jump on some of these initiatives and lots of time duringt he week next week as I am travelling on business. Cheers, David

[iloveboots]

Hi Kneehighs. No, made an error with the "Boot Meet" note. This is strictly a High Heel Place Meet. I will let the Boot meet folks know about the meet but this is intended to be our 10th Anniversary HHPLace Meet. David

[iloveboots]

Working on the club/pub for the meet. Jamie has left the Miller and Saturday, Dec 1 is already booked. Have a lead on another Pub, the River. Also, would most people be available for the friday afternoon, Nov 30?

[iloveboots]

Yup, thats what James (new Manager) and I chatted about. They host a Christmas Bazaar now during the day every saturday leading up to Christmas, from 10am to 4pm. We are now looking at 'The Horse" Pub for saturday, Dec 1 during the day under the same terms we had with Jamie at the Miller. Have also asked James (The Miller) to look at something we may be able to do on Friday, Nov 30. David

[saudade]

Hmm, I've a new passport that needs stamping. Put me down as: maybe, but a definite "hell yeah" if I can meet the stig.

[ShyHeelGuy]

I would love to come, I think I need a few meets like this in order to bolster my confidence enough to go out in heels on my own. Plus it helps when it's not in your local area :-) Maybe for now as I do sometimes have to work weekends, but if I'm not working then I'll do my best to attend!

[mikeheel]

I would love to come. I will put it in the diary. Last time I had quite a job deciding what to wear. Perhaps I should bring a change of shoes? After all, it might be raining? M

[Guest]

Sure I've already posted but not there? Duh? Maybe from me but as I've screwed up flights/holidays that have just clashed I feel I should/MUST get there. Maybe only for a day prob Saturday at the worst just the Friday pm. If we have a few girls coming then I may get Chris to come along on that score. Al

Thanks Kneehighs

Announcing The hhplace.org 10th Anniversary World Heel Meet

FYI Everyone......thought I would share some correspondence between LiveandLearn and I as it may answer some members questions on the two days, ie what is planned for Friday?

David

Friday will have a full day starting around 11:30am of meet events, starting with lunch. We will locate a lunch spot near Camden Market as the afternoon will include a "heeled shopping spree" of Camden till about 4pm. Then we will all re-group for dinner around 7pm. I am looking at a few spots now that are "Greenwich" area spots as we'll list a few club opportunities for that evening as well in the area.

So, hold on to your hat, we will have lots of friday Meet fun as well!

David

Thanks for the message David.

I do not know if I will be attending for sure yet. I can only make the friday as I work on the weekends, and it's my understanding that a lot of people are coming for the saturday.

I hope to be there, but if the festivites are planned for the saturday as opposed to the friday then I may have to sit this one out.

I live about 2 hours from London. I work on the saturday so I wouldn't be able to stay over as such, as my funds wouldn't allow it anyway. But i'd deffinatly come down for the daytime activites if there were to be any on the friday!

We should e able to make the Friday but would have to leave Saturday morning as our football team have a local derby game on the Saturday afternoon.

know what you mean....the 5 months will fly by!

It's too bad this meet is over 5 months away. I'm ready to go now! It'll be nice to spend time in London for no reason other than to socialize and enjoy each other's company. Now I've just got to figure out which of my local female friends I'll invite out with me (if any). Hmmm.
