Pre do meet up location
Morning all,
If any one finds themselves in London before the start time of 1830, a bunch of us are meeting at ALL BAR ONE WATERLOO (1-3 Chicheley St, SE1 7PY).
It's just a short walk away from the Do location, Waterloo station and Hiltons in the area (a map below).
All invited. If you're new, shy, unsure of the location, just need a drink(!!) etc. PM me and I'll give you my mobile number. Should be there for 5pm (if not earlier).
Looking forward to Friday

I am keeping myself on the potential list, and will convert to definite as soon as I can, but currently have some RFS seats booked for DME this friday and probably won't know until Thursday whether things are a goer for the football. Thanks

It might be a silly question, but are most people still likely to be around at that point if I pop in? And will there be some sort of storage for a small suitcase?
I’m afraid if it makes any difference, I don’t have Petrus’ credit card details, and nor is there a Mod team slush fund we can tap into ...

I find myself in London next Friday ahead of a night in a Heathrow hotel before flying to Germany (nothing so glamorous as a World Cup Final - the best I can hope for a a couple of Norwich City pre-season friendlies!). I won’t arrive at Liverpool Street until about 9pm, and the venue’s another 30 minutes from there.
