Some of us already know about this, but it's becoming increasingly popular we thought we'd open it up to every forumite!

Piggie, excuse my ignorance, but when was bowling decided to be during the afternoon? .. I thought it would be during the evening like at Henley. Nobody tells me anything anymore, it's not like the mini-meet was partly my idea is it!!

Your a man you lol, women do the organisation haha.

Waltham Abbey, is not to far from my home town, I best make the effort and show myself.

Re: bowling, the nearest bowling alleys are about a 20 minute drive away, there used to be 1 at David Lloyd center Enfield but it has been turned into a squash/tennis courts now.

I know this area very well so please pm me if you need info.

I cant wait for the meet, hopefully a few will turn up

I'm sorry but I can't make it I have a wedding that day. I haven't been to Waltham Abbey for a few years now and it would've been so great to be able to go. Hope you all have a really great time. I know you will xxxxxxx

As It is cup final day on the 19th, Mr jewels will be going via Waltham Abbey to meet some of this friends to watch the match, so I may get him to drop me off, thus although he already knows Tuppence and has met fruity, would be nice for him to meet the rest of you.
Quite a few isketch players live not to far from here so a few more might pop along, also our very own msnerdinator and AJ aren't a million miles away.

Looking forward ( I think) to meeting piggie and fairynuff, and seeing the regulars again whom I have already met.

edit: aww facey, well if the wedding is called off, please join us.

Sorry but I have bad news for you guys..... I JUST BOOKED!!! See you there xx

Fairy is sooo excited about meeting you nutters!!! Who knows, I might even piddle some glitter I'm so excited!

Yeah, me and AJ aren't too far at all from the meet. Sadly, I won't be making it though. It would have been nice to meet you guys, but trust me, you won't want us there.... especially when it comes to the visual aspects..

aww msnerdinator, don't worry our visual aspects aren't great either, plus a few beers soon sorts that out, Please think about it

edit: for fear of slaps, when I say our visual aspects, our = my.

Oh nerdy and AJ yes please consider it, as jewels said as visual aspects go, you would be kinder on the eyes than some of us lol

You tend to find that when you get a group of isketchers together... once they start chatting no-one really thinks about what anyone else looks like anyway.. after all... it wasn't because of what we look like we all want to meet, it's because of who we are and what we've meant to each other.

Also.. picking on appearance tends to be something done by people who have no confidence in themselves... in order to make them feel better. They're usually not up to much if they feel the urge to needlessly put people down. If I see someone do that, I keep my distance, they usually have their head up their bottom, lol. I'm sure there's no-one who would do that... not without being beaten about the head with my XXL 'I beat Anorexia' t-shirt.

That 'hiding' comment has a double meaning, heh.

And I absolutely agree with everything you've said, :) (well, minus the comment above, lol!) You know me, and I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from too.. ;)

Hmm.. jewels has now blackmailed me. I need to work around it.

Ha ha buffers, well said.
I have to agree, we have made friends with each others personalities,Not our looks.
I see everyone as equal human beings, and i always will.
I love all of you isketchers, you have become a big part of my free ME ME ME time.

That made me smile Buffers It's nice to know that there are people out there who don't pick on appearances. When i say appearances.....i mean my height and the fact that i look 12 It's amazing how some people can just stare at you and then ask whether i'm really 23.



Btw..i ain't coming! lol

3.30pm onwards Meet at The Baker's Arms. Waltham Abbey.

7pm Bowling at Firstbowl in Harlow. There will be bowling on 2 lanes.. let us know if you can if you're planning to stop by and play! There'll be a bowling tourny of sorts with the 5 highest scorers in a final, this of course depends on your pocket and your enthusiasm, if you just want to watch and chat, that's great, but let us know so we can adjust the booking to suit. There is a bit of travel to the alley, but people have kindly offered to help give lifts etc. So hopefully we should all be okay.

9pm (approx) Back to Waltham Abbey, and to what I have been reliably informed is somewhat of a pub crawl heaven...for those who fancy a bit of a tipple... I'm sure that no iSketcher I know would ever drink like that though.

These are the only fixtures... the rest is go as you please with whom you please (in a manner of speaking lol).

oh and,

Me and vodka_babe will see you all there, bowling yayyyy.
I dont know about being in the pub for lunchtime though. more like 4pm.
I dont want to be zozzled at bowling, not again.
Cant wait to meet some of you first timers, and looking foward to seeing all the old crowd.

Oh my! Pub at noon! I don't know if that's a good idea for me lol... be sizzled for 5pm! Will tag along though and be sensible and have soft drinks (for a while!). Don't wanna miss out on pub grub mmmm.

And Cherry, please be gentle with me, it's my first meet, and I might need looking after!

I've heard that pubs now have "soft drinks" to purchase!! I can recommend J2O!! But that's a great idea, Cherry, no zozzled meeters at bowling but then again that lessens my chances of being first!

However, if you're gonna start at 4pm then perhaps I'll still be in with a chance!
