Let's do it! I propose going to the Grant Museum of Zoology at 2pm one Saturday and then optional decamping to a cafe afterwards. See the museum's website here: www.ucl.ac.uk/culture/grant-museum-zoology
The Grant Museum of Zoology is FREE and nearby tube stations are: Euston, Euston Square, Russell Square, Goodge Street, Warren Street. Nearby rail stations are Kings Cross St Pancras and Euston.
My hope is that Saturday is generally a good day for people, the museum is sufficiently centrally located, and 2pm will allow people time to travel either side if they want to come into London specially. I've put up a poll so please vote for which dates you'd be available and we'll see which is most popular. I have shamelessly edited out the ones when I'm unavailable in advance!
All Mustachians are welcome, and I promise to arrive first and devise something very ostentatious to wear or hold so we can recognise each other.
-
(Also, I was going to suggest the Bank of England museum as it seemed appropriate to MMM but it's only open on weekdays. Maybe one for the future when we're all retired? :P)
-
Great idea! I'll try to come if I can.
-
I'm in too if the dates work, thanks for setting it up, I love the museum choice :).
PS one of the dates you chose is Open House weekend, it's a fab free day out where loads of places open their doors.
-
I'm interested, I have some work travel that is yet to be scheduled so I'm not 100% for any date.
-
Right, it's on for 30th September and hopefully we'll have all six people who voted! Let's meet just outside the Grant Museum of Zoology (or just inside if it's raining!) at 2pm. I promise to get there early and I'll devise some outrageously noticeable thing to wear or carry and post it here nearer the time. Do post below if you're coming.
-
I hope the meet is very successful. I can't come to this one (I didn't vote because my work situation is such at the moment that my prospects of being able to go anywhere at the weekend in the next few months aren't looking good) but hope I'll be able to show my face in future.
-
Cool idea. We are ooop north so not able to come but have a great time.... :D
-
When I know you all a bit better, and have a little more breathing space, I'll offer to host an Oop North pie'n'pint meet.
-
Ha ha, we southerners have museum and a cafe, Oop North it's pie and pint...!
-
Haggis and Irn Bru here!

Hi Folks
Joining a bit late I guess, unfortunately 30 Sep is less good for me so will have to pass - but would love to meet up London / South East if you decide you want to me again!
-
I'd be up for this if I'm around then, not sure if I'll be around that weekend yet though.
-
I am in....bit sad we don't have pies and pints to look forward to.....we can always crash the North event I guess!
-
I would come but I'm at a wedding that weekend.
Next one please let me know as I would really like to chat MMM, FI etc with some bright souls!

Sure thing!

I'm a tentative yes! I'll head down from the Cambridge area....
Wait a minute, what happens after we see each other's faces and lose our internet anonymity? Should we wear disguises? Did I even use the right word?

I, for one, will be wearing a mask of my forum avatar with eye cutouts.
-
One on each side of my face, obviously.
-
I'm not going to be around that weekend, unfortunately. Have fun, maybe I can make the next one :)
-
Late notice but I intend to try and make it!
-
I will be there with a green tweed jacket, brown satchel, short hair and glasses. I'll try to get there a bit early! Please come up to me and introduce yourself because I won't have any idea who's an MMMer and who just like zoology on a Saturday afternoon!
-
Hi all! After a while lurking, this thread finally motivated me to register for this fine forum, and add myself as a late joiner to this meetup.
-
Looking forward to it, will be there.
-
Alas, I won't be able to make this one after all thanks to a last minute addition to my weekend, which means I'd have to make three trips (!) in and out of London instead of combining all my plans in one. Have a great time :)
I guess I will now spend my Saturday mustachianly sanding and painting my flat and taking up that gruesome carpet! Really sad not to meet you all, next time hopefully.
-
I may also have a sign... *plot plot*
-
I'm going to try. I'm going on a long trip via Heathrow starting Sunday, so I'm trying to decide whether it makes sense to try to find somewhere to stay in London, assuming I can be packed in time. Either way, I'll try to post again when I'm sure.
-
Looking forward to this (my plans tend to run last minute, but I'm now 100% in).
-
Sorry for the last minute drop out, I'm feeling terrible today so i'd be bad company - enjoy the museum.
-

Great sign! Thank you for organising this. It was very nice to meet everyone.
-
Lovely to meet Kwill, Playing With FIRE UK, availablelight and the lovely doctor whose username I have forgotten! We mentioned trying for a December London meetup so suggestions welcome and I'll post something about dates nearer the time.
-
Enjoyed meeting everyone as well -- looking forward to participating more here.
-
Sorry I missed this, will keep me eyes open for the next one!

Is a December London meetup a possibility? No idea how to do a poll, but someone at work said good things about a Google diary that made setting up meetings much easier.
Sometimes I amaze myself how techie I speak.
-
I'd be up for a December meetup (and actually make it this time!), however diaries are looking busy already.
-
I don't think I'm up to organising one right now but if someone else can poll for dates and suggest a location I will try to come! Just make a new topic and change it to a poll. I think Euston/Kings Cross area is still a good bet for general accessibility.

Understandable....I can set up the poll?
