LovesHiHeels Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I am planing to have the straps made longer on 3 or 4 pairs of heels. There is a good cobbler NE London. IF any one is wishing to do the same then just let me know. Since I be driving up there Friday morning and picking them up Saturday. If any member on here could just remind me where in NE London this cobbler is I be most grateful.

iloveboots Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 just a quick update everyone. Have not forgotten the meet. In fact working on many aspects the past few weeks. Mind you, many of the contacts I am working with are rather preoccuppied right now with some major event going on??? LOL! Absolutely was blown away by the opening ceremonies. Right now, Saturday pub day for the Meet is all confirmed. Have a couple of hotels I am working on that offer apartment type room accommodations for multi member use. And, also lining up the Friday day & night schedule. Will check back in again soon with more update info. Spread the word to all your HHPlace friends to set aside Nov 30 & Dec 1 in their calendars now. And, also indicate in the poll if they are for sure or maybe. Cheers, David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
euchrid Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 i'd attend but not currently free on that weekend Always High-Heel Responsibly
Foxyheels Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 If we come it will be Friday as have a football match to attend on Saturday. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
Guest Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 My plan is to come up on Friday morning/midday and stay till Saturday eve. All that wish can go play in the funny clubs and enjoy that side of life. If I can sort a hotel with car park = easy or coach it up. Al
FreshinHeels Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Put me down as a maby. Will be me and the Mrs though. Are mrs welcome? Don't think she would like to go to Torture Garden offcourse that shouldn't stop you guy's and girls from going. Might even try and catch a show there, She keeps going on about visiting show in Londen. In the process of becoming the person I always was...but didn't dare to let her come out
iloveboots Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 Good energy beginning to happen with the meet! Cool! For those who can only make Friday, we will have a full meet set up for Friday as there are many who can only make the one day including myself as I have to be on a flight Saturday. Don't worry, the Saturday meet details are all looked after and confirmed. Yes, definitely spouses are welcome, in fact encouraged! This is first a foremost a social get together for HHPlace members to meet and say hi to all the folks you conenct with during the year on line; ie put a real person together witht he handle name you have corresponded with all year and also enjoy wearing our heels together in a safe environment.

Szpilkins Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 It's gonna be amazing to come to London and meet each other high heelers :-)
euchrid Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 What about Friday? No good either. I have my kids with me all weekend. Might be a slim chance I can rearrange things & get the Sat or Sunday free but not too hopeful at the moment. Always High-Heel Responsibly
euchrid Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 No problem. Didn't you used to sit with shakedown at the world heel meets back in 2007-2008? Just curious because I haven't seen too much of him around. I did indeed. That and a bit of pool playing. Shakedown is heavily into his bass-playing & gigging these days so the heels have possibly taken a back seat. Always High-Heel Responsibly
iloveboots Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 On Countdown! 3 months to the 10th Anniversary Meet! Have you made your plans yet to attend?? "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
LovesHiHeels Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Made no plans for hotel room but still hope to go.
Thighboots2 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the update David as I was wondering what the explanation behind your temporary absence was. Provided my phone contacts are still current, I'll be making brief phone calls within the next 10 business days to the following on behalf of the coming meet: 1. admirer5577 2. Firefox 3. fog 4. heelfan 5. heeluis 6. ramon020 7. Si 8. Thighboots2 9. Xaphod I'll also tap the email of f_private who hasn't been active in almost two years, but it's worth a shot. Also, soon either one of us might want to start a formal list of Probable Attendees and Possible Attendees as done in the past. The reason for the list is that some of the possibles in the poll, like me, may change and become Probable Attendees. Well seduce my ancient footwear. I get a mention :-) It has been quite a while since I poked around HHP, been a lot going on in my life. A good precis is on my profile. I woud love to come along at some point over the weekend, and renew aquantainces from that lovely meal at Morgan Ms. Incidentally I have used that restaurant several times since so whoever found it, thank you. I will keep track of this thread and see what turns up then I can make plans. Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
iloveboots Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 10th Annual Worldwide Heel Meet Update. My own personal travel plans have changed and I am no longer able to travel to the UK at the end of November, so will miss the 10th Annual meet. Very dissappointed! However, the Saturday dedicated Pub for the day is booked and arranged (The Horse) and I am hoping one of our local London members will pick up the planning and follow through with handling the meet? Dr Shoe (tried PM'ing but your mailbox came back full)? If anyone is interested please PM me and I will send along all the details, contacts for the Saturday Pub arrangement (11am-4pm on Dec 1). What is left to do is (a) plan an evening dinner location for Saturday night (Dec 1) and also a Friday, Nov 30 dinner/club location plus any other arrnagements one wants to make, and ( promote and update the thread plus the calender. My apologies for being unable to follow through to the meet but work got int he way. Cheers, David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"

LovesHiHeels Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Friday evening meal. Could we just go to that place we went to last time. We didn't even book before hand and we still got in.
Foxyheels Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Still hope to be there for th Friday if venues are sorted out. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
iloveboots Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 still hoping someone can step up to the plate and take over the planning for the Nov 30/Dec 1 Meet in London? David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
mtnsofheels Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Would love to but work starts then I am in need of more boot money...... Ah work just gets in the way of life sometimes......
Pumps Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I no longer live in London so it will be difficult for me... Indeed. It would be much easier if you lived in say....Vancouver.
Dr. Shoe Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 It would be impossible to do so unless you had someone in London to actually visit the venue (to ensure it's suitable), meet the owner/manager, pay the deposit (in cash) and otherwise do all the "back-of-the-scenes" running around that must be done before the meet can go ahead. Just like Heelfan and I did for the last one. However, if you want to have a go yourself, please feel free to do so...

iloveboots Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 I agree Dr Shoe. Organizing long distance heel meets is very difficult. It would be impossible to do so unless you had someone in London to actually visit the venue (to ensure it's suitable), meet the owner/manager, pay the deposit (in cash) and otherwise do all the "back-of-the-scenes" running around that must be done before the meet can go ahead. Just like Heelfan and I did for the last one. However, if you want to have a go yourself, please feel free to do so... I have not heard from anyone by October 15 from the UK (preferably London area) who would be willing to take on the final organization of the Nov 30/Dec 1 - 10th Annual Worldwide Heel Meet. If I don't hear from someone in the enxt few weeks we will have to cancel the event and release the day booked at the Horse Pub for the Meet on Dec 1st (only fair thing to do for the Horse Pub owner) David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
Dr. Shoe Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 The big problem is that these days so many guys are just going out and doing it that we don't really need the security in numbers that we had at heel meets. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
iloveboots Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Dr Shoe, Good point and I agree. Though I hope we haven't lost the desire to engage and meet socially as that was the true value of us all getting together; great friendships and memories. David The big problem is that these days so many guys are just going out and doing it that we don't really need the security in numbers that we had at heel meets. "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
