Shoreditch social - Thursday 7 Feb

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

London Shoreditch social with a difference - pub social, no area booked, no guest list, who wants to come comes.

Let’s share a few drinks and get to know each other.

In order to recognise fellow fabsters in the crowd I suggest we wear a pin (safety pin, decorative pin, ten pin bowling pin if you wish...any kind of pin) on the right hand side of our chest.

The bravest will wear a pin meaning they’re happy to chat with fellow fabsters.

Others may come in stealth mode (no pin) just to see if there is somebody they fancy chatting with.

Date: Thursday 7 Feb / 17:30 onward

Location: large modern pub, multiple rooms, in Shoreditch (3 min walk from Liverpool Street station) -Address will be posted on the day.

Comment or PM with questions

Cool, watch the thread for the address.

There hasn’t been a lot of interest here but I had quite an increase of profile views by Londoners so I suspect most people turning up will be in stealth mode. That’s cool, I’ll be wearing a pin so make yourselves known if you fancy a chat.

A few clarifications. This social is different from anyone I attended in the sense that I don’t keep a guest list: whoever fancies it can join in.

Ultimately it’s only a night in a pub where you can expect to have other fabsters lurking around hence the pin (right side of the chest) to recognise each other and act as an ice breaker.

I do not expect all fabsters present to pow wow around a single table nor do I expect to be the center of attention (feel free to say hello though - I’m curious to know how many people will turn up). Engage with who you want as you want, or don’t. It’s your call.

I was also told that for some single women a pub on your own may be a daunting idea. I’m a bloke and haven’t considered it but I understand. If that’s your case feel free to get in touch. As organiser I’m happy to be the familiar face in the crowd. I hear the cynics already: this is not a ploy, I’m just trying to facilitate.

I will actually be going with friends myself (a MF couple) because like most if this is a flop I don’t want to spend the night on my own in a pub.

I haven’t found my pin yet, so it’s likely just to be a safety pin.

Questions, suggestions welcome.

Roll on Thursday and let’s have some fun.

Real curve, you’re call. Personally no later than 18:30. Quite a bit of work.

Mine’s not nice at all, as plain as it goes.

The important bit is right side of your chest.

It was a shame I couldn't make it! Hopefully next one I can. Like the idea of Xmas jumpers for easter or maybe everyone wears same colour clothing like pink shirt or something? More discreet that way wouldn't you say? Haha
