Dr. Shoe Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Bluewater (Which is now the biggest) AND Lakeside as they are only about a 15 minute drive apart! Followed by a mellow evening at mine. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Heelfan Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 Thanks Doctor! Do the rest of you fancy that, or do you have further ideas? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
Firefox Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I think Bluewater and Lakeside would make fine duo. Failing that, Meadowhall in Sheffield would make nice change if some of the Northern crowd fancied it.
Dr. Shoe Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Hmmm...... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Fog Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 I'm a bit loth to say I'm up for it because I said that last time and then didn't come. Any of suggestions 1 -3 sound fine, although a one in the South East would be easier.
avril Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I'm not sure that this is appropriate to your idea, but Saturday 2nd October sees the Skin Two Expo at the Barbican Centre EC2 from 1pm. There'll be plenty of shoe stands there, albeit of a fetish type. Best wishes, Avril
keels Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Hi all, I would really love to join you guys, and girls, but weekends are totally impossible for me. Would anyone like to get together one evening in the Andover/Salisbury area just for a chat and a drink? Keels
nhoj62 Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 bluewater and lakeside sounds good but meadowhell!, no way man!, nasty place, been there twice, that is far too many times! later nhoj62 the higher the boot, the higher the heel, the better the feeling!
Dr. Shoe Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 I will be in Telford in late October but wont be able to do heels as I shall be there for a conference. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
plasmaboy Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 hi. new to this. what do you do at a heel meet? apart from wear heels clearly!
Bubba136 Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 You can get a good idea by scrolling through this thread. Paris Heel meet Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
sendra45 Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 hi. new to this. what do you do at a heel meet? apart from wear heels clearly! Hi Plasmaboy, dont panic there is nothing weird, albeit the the first meet might seem it. The three heel meets that I have gone to have been just about being in a relaxed atmosphere wearing (if you like) heels. In a weird world that we live in it is the ones that turn up in flatties that get the ribbing. so come along to a meeting in heels and meet some other folk that may or may not get the same out of high heels as you. Oh, what do we do? read the 'bristol meet' or the 'informal bristol meet' or perhaps the 'hayway shoes meet' to find out what happend on the times I caught up with others from the forum. Nobody will be judgemental, I promise. Bring your SO along as well, my wife has come along twice now and had a great time. Make yourself come along to the next meet or have a look on the board and see who lives near you, get in touch, arange a meet and have a good time. Nigel and family The angels have the phonebox.
sendra45 Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Hi, what with a little tinkerbell in toe, I would like to know as soon as possible, so if it is a 'oop north' meet we can go 'oop t' day before'. wherever really. If daz is still about It would be good to catch up with him, anybody heard from him recently? I PMed him, but no reply, the guy must be going through the grinder of life. Nigel The angels have the phonebox.
xaphod Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 It seems that there's an ALDO in Bluewater. I would find that interesting. Havn't been to Lakeside for over a year .... last time it was pretty boring, just like any UK high street. Xa
Firefox Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Shopping malls are like High Streets aren't they Minus the traffic of course. I'd be happy to go to Bluewater again. I have only been there once and I think there is a Sushi place
Beeblebrox Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Hi all It has now gone some time since I last time joined for at heelmeeting. I think its about time to join again, but it depends a little about when its planned to occour. There is one weekend in october I might be able to go and that is 22-24/10. A better weekend for me would be in november 5-7/11. Does anyone have a clue about when the heelmeting might occour? Beeblebrox
Firefox Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Waiting for someone to suggest a date... Why can't you do heels at conferences Dr S? They are ideal places surely.
Beeblebrox Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Waiting for someone to suggest a date... Hi Firefox As I mentioned above, october is not the best month for me, so I simply suggest november 5-7/11. In my case it gives me a little time to arrange the flight and a room. Beeblebrox
Dr. Shoe Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 1st and 2nd weekend in November suit me too. I won't mix heels with my business. That is my choice, if another heelman was in the business too and he decided that he would then that would be his choice.

xaphod Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 First w/e in Nov for preference, otherwise second. Xa
Calv Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Either weekend suits me. Calv Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv

sendra45 Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Hi, Sorry to be the first to reply and say no. Thanks very much for sorting out a date and a venue but we are visiting freinds in Devon that weekend. Look forward to meeting you all at the next one. On a personal note, whoever goes, please take your digital camera, we still have no pics from the bristol meet yet! Nigel The angels have the phonebox.
Heelfan Posted October 13, 2004 Author Posted October 13, 2004 Thank for the message Nigel & Family. Sorry you can't make this particular Meet, and neither can Daz, Thighbootguy2, Paul (North-East) or Highonheels. However folks, I've had enthusiastic phone calls or PMs confirming the following attenders: Firefox, Dr. Shoe and Ruth, Fogborkenvv & partner, Si, Ruthy, Nhoj62, and a "Probably" from Francis & Jackie, plus those others who've already posted above. Should be a good one! Any more interested attenders? ALL WELCOME! (turn up in some great heels if you wish, but it's not compulsory!). Please post below . . . . . . . . Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
Dr. Shoe Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Back to mine afterwards? Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
euchrid Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 You mean saturday 6th November, surely! Sorry for being pedantic. And sorry for calling you shirley! Personally, I'd love to join you but I'm 'booked in' for a wedding anniversary trip to london with the missus that weekend. Always High-Heel Responsibly
Heelfan Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 Thanks Euchrid for pointing out my error! I meant SUNDAY 7th November. You weren't being being pedantic, just extremely helpful! I'm playing in a band on the Sat 6th, and I thought Sunday would work out well for everyone. The Lakeside shops open at 10.30/11am which is just when we meet and move off, and close at 5pm. I'll now edit and correct all my previous postings and PM everyone to say it's Sunday and not Saturday. Thanks again Euchrid! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
