OV9 Mini Meet - 28th June - London Stadium (née Olympic Stadium) Vicinity

[Sundayjumper]

Two Gavs & a Steve so far. Anyone else around ?

[GG.]

I'm potentially up for that. What time are you thinking (and which of your selection of automobiles will you be bringing)?

[dinny_g]

Are there many good driving roads around there ???

[GG.]

I'm not sure its intended to be that kind of a meet. I guess the closest roads are up towards Epping forest or further East.

[Sundayjumper]

Yeah, it's not a driving meet, we're going to the Iron Maiden gig in the evening

Although I'll be driving the i3 to gavster's place mid-afternoon so there's some driving I guess.

[mik]

Yeah, it's not a driving meet

Aww. I'm not coming then.

[Gavster]

Realistically this is beers in the Olympic Park

[GG.]

Weather is looking good for it, however, I have a 50th birthday tomorrow night so if its more of an afternoon beers thing then I may have to skip. Jealous of the Iron Maiden gig too

[scotta]

Do you need a mini to attend?

You are ageing faster than I expected. 50 already? You don't look it.

I feel like everyone is approaching the event horizon of a black hole and I'm back in interstellar space aging at twice the rate. 50 is still a decade away for me though despite how old I look (I think me and the guy whose birthday it is look similar ages )

[Explosive Newt]

What sort of time are you thinking? I'm at a course in Regents Park until about 2.30.

Also it's my 40th very very very uncomfortably soon.

[Sundayjumper]

I was going to lean heavily on Gavster’s local knowledge for anything resembling an itinerary but if I leave here after lunch and the traffic’s not a nightmare we’d probably get to the Olympic park 15:30-16:00 (ish).

[Zonda_]

I think we’re looking at 4-5pm

[IanF]

Well that’s just rude.. you knew I was in London all week, but in Manhattan on Saturday

Have a great time gents!

[DeskJockey]

That would have been a great opportunity, unfortunately I have to be at two different summer fairs at the same time.

All are welcome at both if you can stretch the definition of vicinity a tad (only a scant 15-20ish miles).

[Sundayjumper]

I can’t find a solid time for when Maiden start. Looks something like 8:30. Obvs we need to be there before that. So core time for casual beers will be 4:30-7:30 with a bit of leeway.

[DeskJockey]

Wouldn't be able to make there in time. On the cleanup crew until 6pm/we're done.

[Beany]

It's very kind of you all to meet up to celebrate my birthday, I must say, even if I can't be there for it.

[DeskJockey]

Happy birthday @Beany !

How are the heads and ears this morning?

By the time we were done with clean-up I smelt like the inside of a bin.
