Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I was wondering if any other Sharders are UK-Based and if they'd be up for a meet-up, I'm thinking a London pub, beer and geeking out. I'm part of a few online communities and brotherhood without banners and tarvalon.net both do occasional meetups but I haven't seen any 17th shard ones - other than signings, I mean just a social meet up. If people are up for it I'm happy to organise, long as you're all willing to worldhop down to London! EDIT: right, I'm going to PM the people in this thread, any lurkers that want more info PM me - will PM my mobile no. so people can contact me if needed. this SATURDAY 19 APRIL5PMthe Phoenix, Cavendish Square http://www.phoenixca...ishsquare.co.uk Map: MAP HERE Nearest tube: oxford circus I wont be eating out but for those that want to they offer a fixed menu, £10 for 2 courses, £13 for 3. It's been pointed out to me the fixed price menu is only during the week, but you can see their other menus on the website. I'm going to try to reserve an area for us, will let you know the details if I can, otherwise I'll let you know whereabouts I'll be sitting An area is reserved for us under the name '17TH SHARD' (I'll try to get there a bit early and bring a '17th shard' sign). Looking forward to meeting you all! SIGN UP HERE AND PRINT OFF THE VOUCHER FOR A FREE BLOODY MARY: http://www.phoenixcavendishsquare.co.uk/signup/ NEW THREAD: Was lovely to meet everyone, I'm starting a new thread NOW (HERE: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/7717-17th-shard-uk-london-meetups-signing-and-loncon/ ) because Peter mentioned on twitter that Brandon will be doing a signing in the UK sometime in July/August (NOT at LonCon, 'though Harriet will be there) so that's 2 potential meet up dates: 1) The Signing (details to follow when we know when it'll be, I'm thinking pre/post meetup and drinks); and 2) LonCon 14-18 August 2014, ExCel London - if people are going LonCon let us know the dates you will be there and we can maybe meet up for a Sanderfan toast/drinks.

Posted March 19, 2014 I am UK based, and would be happy to join a meetup in London. It'd be good to finally meet someone who shares my interest in magical flying knights and women who can throw fire from their hands. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 22, 2014 I'd love to do a meetup, however I do have two issues: a) is that I am (I think?) a fairly young reader, being only 17 I worry that I'd be the only young person there. is that I have no monies but I will do in a few months so as long as it isn't for a few months then I should be good 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 I'd be up for a UK meet up, I'm London based so a London pub would be great. I'm 23 if that helps illsmithyourbonds? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah that sounds like fun! I can get a train into London quite easily. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 Yes that is reassuring thank you Branf Sabrina, did you message everyone who has a UK location or everyone who as an England location etc? Because I don't know that every cosmere/Brandon Sanderson fan is on here, and if it's looking like quite a small number then we could get the message out via tumblr/facbook/twitter? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 I looked for people with UK, london, or England as their location, and I believe Nepene messaged some people too. Totally up for broadcasting wider if you guys have the means to do so. illsmithyourbonds, I'm 24 by the way 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 29, signing in. I'm open to the idea, so long as it's central ish London, and on a weekend. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 Okay so I tweeted Brandon Sanderson asking for a RT with a link to this, and well he RT'd and so did a few others and I'd suggest for all noon-members to bookmark this page and check every couple of weeks if you're interested. (Or make an account and follow the topic) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 If we can get reasonable numbers I'd prefer a sooner one. We could arrange another one in a few months when you have more money if you wanted. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 I would potentially be interested, depending on time and place. @illsmithyourbonds I'm 16 so I claim the title of youngest. Just as an idea, would anybody be interested at setting this meeting up during worldcon? We could grab lunch together during the convention. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 22, 2014 AWesome on the retweet! I'll be at worldcon, august right? we should definitely time something to coincide if people are going to be around? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 Given the high costs of loncon, I think a pub might be better. We could arrange a meeting at loncon anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2014 I just suggested it because I figured that some people would already be going so it would be convenient. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
