So here’s a thread for those interested in meeting up with fellow T-Boarders to suggest and agree a date, a location, who’s in, who’s out, etc etc.
When you’ve agreed a date I’ll put that in the thread title. If it works out and there are further meets I’d suggest a new thread for each.
So who is interested in a meet up in principle, understanding that dates when decided will dictate actual attendance?.
Over to you!

I would be interested in this! Ideally in London as a starter. Saturdays easiest for me but could make most days work.

Me too! Saturdays depending on what time though, as my latest train home is around 10pm

Myself as well! I'm in London and can go any day or time (until June 6), so weekends are fine.

Annual trip from the States is coming up. I have a solo trip to London on Wednesday 19 June. Have Kathy/Stella in the evening, but happy to meet up before then.

If I can make a suggestion?
You're never going to please everyone and you could be given multiple reasons as to why people can't make it, or why another date would suit/
Whenever a date is decided upon, stick to it.
It's like planning a wedding. Those who will be available and want to be there will do their best to do so.
Then, depending upon the success of this one, possibly plan a similar event up north.

I've always thought meet-ups are a great idea. I personally am in and out of London so chance are I may not be available but if they become regular occurences then the chances of making one increase!

I agree. If you try to accommodate everybody it will never happen. If you collectively want to come up with a shortlist of dates I can put up a poll for people to vote. Just let me know if that’s needed.

Perhaps we should start with Saturdays in May - so maybe 11/18/25th as a starter?

Yes. Someone take charge. Make a proposal. If people can, they can. x

I currently work and live near Norwich but think I'm home (bucks) on the 24th for a few days to see my friend in an am drama show and see some shows in london so might work out if that day gets chosen.
Would be nice to meet up with fellow theatre lovers as much as I enjoy my solo theatre trips always nice to make new friends who love theatre as much as I do.

Just so people know, in certain areas there are train strikes and overtime bans on 11th May. I’m supposed to be at The Players King that day and atm won’t be able to make it.

I think it’s looking like May 25th might be the date with most votes ( apologies to those who can’t make that).

I’ve never had a theatreboard pin!
Perhaps we should all wear yellow carnations 😂

Ok, poll closed.
Meeting time needed next. Pre-matinee or between matinee and evening performances? And of course a meeting place.
If you need another poll to arrive at decisions let me know.

Unless one of the Moderator can supply me with any more, I have only 10 small blue Theatre Board pins.
