Summer meet-ups and a thank you.

Last Saturday Wedge and I were in London for our second summer meet-up, and as with Birmingham earlier in the year it was fantastic to meet some of you in real life and enjoy a drink and a chat.

We understand only too well how daunting travel and meeting new people can be, and we'd like to thank everyone who attended either Birmingham or London for making such an effort and in the case of some of you, for conquering your fears in order to meet us.

As you all know, FirstSigns has been going through a lot of changes this year and it's not been an easy time for us, but we're reaching out and growing as an organisation in ways that we never have before, and the next twelve months will be an exciting time for all of us.

By next year we should have the time and resources necessary to be able to arrange meet-ups in more locations, especially further north, so thank you also to everyone who has been unable to attend this year but has been patient and understanding of our difficulties.

Our members are of utmost importance, both to Wedge and I as the people who direct FirstSigns and to the Organisation as a whole. So, to everyone out there who supports us in any way, even it's just by reading our blog, thank you.

Wedge and Jules

London Meet-up this Saturday

It's our London meet-up this Saturday in Camden, North London (UK) from 1.00pm to 3.00pm.

Please see our earlier blog for full details or email Jules@firstsigns.org.uk for further information.

Wedge and I look forward to having a drink and a chat with you then.

London summer meet-up in 2 weeks :)

There's only two weeks until our summer meet-up in London (UK)!

Thank you to those of you who have already confirmed you are attending - I have today emailed you with full details of the location. If you've contacted me and haven't received an email then please let me know.

Just to confirm, we are meeting in Camden, North London on Saturday 16th August from 1pm 'til 3pm. So if you fancy coming along for a drink and chat then please do email Jules@firstsigns.org.uk for full details.

A couple of people have said that although they would like to come, they feel rather nervous about it. This is perfectly understandable; I know that I always feel a little anxious when meeting new people, but our meet-ups are always relaxed and friendly, and you are welcome to bring a friend.

If you have any questions then please do email me.

Wedge and I look forward to seeing you on the 16th :)

London meet-up Saturday 16th August

After the success of our Birmingham meet-up last Saturday, we are now pleased to confirm that a further meet-up will take place in London on Saturday 16^th August.

The event will take place at a pub in Camden, North London (nearest tube Camden Town) from 1pm until 3pm.

Of course, both Wedge and I will be there and we would welcome the opportunity to meet and have a drink with as many of you as possible.

You are also welcome to bring a friend.

It would be good to get some idea of numbers so if you think you may attend, please either PM Jules on the Message Board or email me at Jules@firstsigns.org.uk. Please also contact me should you have any questions or comments.

Full details including exact location and map will be given to anyone confirming they wish to attend.

We hope to see you on 16^th August :-)

Birmingham Meet-up 12th July 2008

Hi everyone,

Wedge and I are organising a real life meet-up for our members, to be held in Birmingham on Saturday 12 July from 1pm to 3pm. Both Wedge and I will be there and we would welcome the opportunity to meet and have a drink with as many of you as possible.

I'm afraid that our safety policy means that only members aged 18 years and over will be able to attend.

While it is likely that we will hold a second meet-up in London, probably in August, these are likely to be the only two cities for meet-ups this year. I realise this may upset some of you, especially those further North, but Wedge and I are extremely pressured by time at present, and this is the very best we can do. All I can do is apologise and assure you that we really are doing everything we can for you. I'm sure that by next year we will be able to travel further afield but for this year we hope that as many of you as possible can make it to Birmingham.

It would be good to get some idea of numbers so if you think you may attend, please either PM or email me at Jules@lifesigns.org.uk. Please also contact me should you have any questions or comments.

Full details including exact location etc will be given to anyone confirming they wish to attend.

We hope to see you on 12th July :-)
