There is currently a small group "working" in the background to organise a meet up. These events are fraught [if you've read the thread] with minor problems even if people commit to day/time/location. Four of us could have met in MK last weekend as four of us were within 800 yards of each other for a good chunk of the afternoon. Only two of us met, and that was only because 'shyguy' was good enough to come back to MK having waited for me - for
too long during his first visit that afternoon. "Thank you" again!
I now have shyguy and euchrid's mobile numbers, and they have mine. This is potentially key, as place/time are easy to miss on the day. As an example, at the Watford meet last time, the initial grup walked right past me, despite them having met me before. Fortunately Dr Shoe was dressed as Tara, so
I recognised her.
So that's three of us mentioned. Foxylady who is close to me is interested. Dr Shoe might be interested, though that's like inviting a shoe-shopping whirlwind to the meet. [EVERY shoe shop has to be visited, and shoes have to be tried in every shoe shop.

I'm going to High Wycombe in a week or two anyway. I prefer weekday visits with me in heels because there's fewer chances of meeting gobby teenagers, though I've not met any yet, at any time I've been out. Saturdays are good too, but likely to be busy.
Bluewater is mentioned often, with good cause. The 'girl' shoe shops there are all men friendly, the bigger stores exceptionally so. [Lakeside isn't so bad either.] Bluewater is mostly open to 9pm, with some stores [M+S] until 10pm. Laakside is open to 10pm every weekday, and possibly Saturday too. If travelling, it means it's possible to have all day shopping, walking, eating and drinking. In fact, if it wasn't for the best restaurants being at Bluewater, a Bluewater-Lakeside day would be possible, rather than Lakeside-Bluewater day. Going to both, or more normally the single venue will provide 2 things: A day out with like-minded people, and plenty of opportunity for sore feet.
As the weather improves (yeah right) opportunities exist for walks along Oxford Street, or places along the South Bank. [Museums, shops, eateries.] Camden is also believed to be a good place to go, but not in stiletto's with so much uneven cobblestone about.

Which reminds me of Brighton....
Jury's out.
Perhaps we all need to think about putting a stake in the ground.
DATE?
Lets propose some dates?
I don't have to babysit anyone on Saturday 21st June, so that's a good day for me, if we're going to meet at a weekend. If we don't arrange a meet somewhere on that day, I'll probably go to High Wycombe anyway.
That's two weeks this Saturday?
Any other offers?
FOR DATE. ....
