London meet

[alanfinal]

Hi everyone,although I was going to organize the next meet some time after vapefest,I have decided due to many factors,but basically just that I always have to much on my plate and the London meet has pulled my down a very hard road,I need a rest and the meet needs someone with the enthusiasm I just cant give it right now.

Between my love for my growing car club,having to clear a life of stored stuff from work after being forced into redundancy/semi retirement I am washed out,I will also be moving close to Southend soon with the new lady in my life,but at the moment I'm dragging up and down motorways to see her.

Although its been a struggle at times,I have always enjoyed doing this meet and meeting all of you,I have already phoned the Coach and horses and checked to see how many Saturdays are free in Sept and at the moment they all are,should you all want to carry on there.Alexander Peter Charalambous did come up with a venue,The Pipeline in Liverpool st on the FB page,but I'm not to sure about it.

If anyone would like to admin the Facebook page,send me a message and I can sort that out as it has brought a few new members and a lot of interest to the meet.

Thanks everyone,I will see you sometime in the near future,but for now good luck with the LSE Vaping meets

That's a shame – I was hoping there was a meet in London this week as I've just had a massive clearout and was hoping to gift a whole bunch of kit and juice over a pint or two...

Can't blame you for needing to take a back seat alanfinal.....You've had a lot going on & to contend with this year so far.........some good, some not so good.........but a new " 'er indoors" is always a nice thing & will keep you on your toes......I shall be the first (but not, by far, the last) to thank you for all the effort you put into the LSE meets & wish you all the best in your future & present ventures......cheers mate..........

Thank you very much indeed for organising the London meets up until now alanfinal. I always had such a good time at them.

I know its been a tough year for you, and I hope that this is the beginning of a great new chapter in your life with your new lady.

I do hope that you will find time to keep in touch, and perhaps even come to some meets, after all Southend's not too far away.

I think that seniorphil would be a great choice for organising our meets in future. Are you willing to do it Phil ? Pretty please

Oh, and if so would you please avoid 6th Sept if possible as I can't make that date.

If the time is right to take a backseat alanfinal then so be it. Many thanks for your hard graft. It'd be great to see you at a future meet when you have time. Good health and good luck in work, leisure, and love.

I don't mind sorting the next one out if nobody else steps up, as I was going to do a battery giveaway anyway. Howoever I don't know if I'll still be vaping come the end of the year, so I think it would be better organised(as Alan said) by someone with more enthusiasm.
By the way the Pipeline is on Middlesex Street(Petticoat Lane), it's a young loud rockers bar, I think it would discourage anyone over 45 from coming along(except myself of coarse).

(((Alan))) sorry to hear about the redundancy/semi retirement But glad to hear you have a new lady in your life

Even though I could never get to any of the LSE meets, I always enjoyed reading about them & seeing the pics. So a big thank you from me for all the hard work you put into arranging them

[philmepowers]

Sorry folks but no way
Have enough on my plate as it is, and most of the time in summer not in London weekends.

Isn't there anyone out there retired or semi retired like to take it on ?

I was only kidding Martin, I'll sort out Sept and maybe Oct/Nov until we find someone full time. Was thinking Saturday 13th or 20th of September, what do you think??

[esmecullen]
