Hitched hen do/meet up anyone?

Mrs S*, 6 January, 2010 at 15:18

Posted on Planning 63

As we have a lot of newbies i think we need a meet up, and as a lot of us get married this year we can call it a hen do and use it as an excuse to have an extra glass of wine! Suggestions on where are open... where would be best for everyone? Dates... Also... Give ideas!! We haven't had a meet up...

    Sounds like fun (if a decision can be made!), I'm in Bucks so London would be easish for me, although like many of you I can get around the trains but once off the tube I'd get completely lost! I'll keep watching this space.

    Wow! This got a better response than i was expecting. I've been off out shopping then to cinema so just got back. I think London would be best as it's generally pretty cheap to get to (well cheaper than a littler place!). I'm pretty useless so a true Londoner would have to help out with where in London, but it's a start. What dates are options???

    I'm fairly clear around weekends, except I'm likely to be away the last weekend in Feb. Happy to give advice on any hotels etc to those of you from far away (sorry, living in London means a shoe-box one bed so I can't offer to put anyone up!)

    If it's any help we have had hitched meets at the Pitcher & Piano just off Trafalgar Square in London, it's a good central location and pretty quiet.

    The best thing is to have one email address that everyone can contact, you don't wanna be putting too many details on here!

    They can also save an area for you if you know the numbers.

    If you meet at 2.30-3pm(ish) you'll easily get somewhere for you all to sit.

    Let me know the date too and I might pop along on behalf of the OM's contingent ?

    As Tahdah has said, we tend to meet in the same place in London, as it is easy to find and we can get a large are reserved for us, we did have a hitched email address for arranging these meets, but I cannot think who owns it, maybe Bluewater?

    Anyway, I live on the south coast but I am a born and bred londoner so I am happy to meet in London X
