Report - World Heel-Meet, 13th May, London

Well, we didn't quite make the 21 hoped for by Kneehighs, due to the sad absence of FGWJON, Dougal and shakedown.

However let that not detract from the great fact that it was the all-time RECORD ATTENDANCE of 18 MEMBERS!:

Heel-D, Xaphod, Calv, kneehighs from New York, Tara, heeluis from Hamburg, fogborkenvv and Mrs. fogborkenvv, euchrid, Heelfan, Firefox, Peachy (Mel), Si, jo, Robert from The Netherlands, a3 from the Netherlands, micha from Frankfurt aND micha's friend from Germany.

It really is gratifying how amazingly the high heel movement is growing - over 2,500 members on Megaforums, and eighteen meeting in person for a street-heeling day!

We always say "Heels not compulsory", but all except one wore high heels, and some changed into a second or third pair as the day wore on. Micha turned up in pink cowboy boots, but later changed into a pair of sandals with stiletto heels so high that he actually hit his head on the ceiling of the escalator in Top Shop!

Due to the impressive size of the group, much of the time was spent welcoming new arrivers into the group, and waiting for the Waterloo Station group to join the main party. So unusually, although about five or six shoe shops were visited, I don't think any purchases were made.
The emphasis was more towards socialising, eating, drinking and chatting generally, with a running entertainment from Firefox who treated us to an array of magic tricks.

Soon after 5 pm, Peachy and I had to return to Bristol to enable Melanie to prepare her stocks of extreme heels for the Swamp Fetish Fair which was held in Bristol on the following day, but we trusted that the rest of the party would have a great evening.

Before we departed, Kneehighs asked all of the attendees to post reports of the Heel-Meets, very kindly saying that he would sponsor a prize for the best report, to be judged by him and me. The prize is a pair a shoes of the winner's choice from Mel's Peachy Shoes. Telephone Peachy Shoes
(0117 3309090) for details of her stocks.

So, all those who have not yet posted, please post your report! Those who wish to add to or replace their initial report, please post below!

All of us should extend a huge "THANK YOU" to Kneehighs, firstly for conceiving this world record Heel-Meet, and secondly for donating funds to
sponsor the winning pair of shoes prize for the best report.

Secondly, our thanks to Robert for posting excellent photos of the Meets, and to others who we hope will follow suit.

Cheers, Heelfan
