Steve, there will be other get togethers in the not very distant future. Good luck with the biopsy and possible op. Sounds like they've caught whatever it is early so I hope that means lower risk of a problem.

Fingers crossed for no complications, nice straightforward op, speedy recovery!
And if you'd like to come and meet everyone you can always come along without your camera (they aren't mandatory as a big part of the GTGs is social) and stay for as long or short a time as you feel up to!

Thanks Kavey, and everyone for their support.

So, here's the deal...if all goes well, I will be there and I need a slave to get and stir my coffee! Oh, yes, and blow on it so it isn't too hot. I will also need another slave to cut up my food and feed it to me. And lastly, I will require a sherpa to carry my bag, tripod and also act as a leaning post/monopod!

I will keep you all up to date as events unroll.

See you all soon at the GTG, Steve

I'm up for getting there Sat afternoon, a few pics then a good old London knees up (I don't sing but make up for that by drinking lots) then an early night to be fresh for a dawn shoot followed by breakfast (possibly alchoholic) a walkabout followed by some drinks at lunchtime (the light is bad at noon) followed by some more shooting before a late afternoon drink :)

Can anybody promise to put me on the right train home?

*bump* Only 5 weeks to go :o)

Oh, and due to other commitments that weekend, I'll only be able to come on one of the days, though I don't know which yet...

Glad you bumped this. It's actually before my exams start, I thought it was during them before. I might be able to come, lemme think about it :)

Might be good to start fleshing out some plans for what to do over the weekend...

I have had requests for London Eye and for Greenwich. I know we've done these at the first and second London GTG respectively but there's plenty of material for photography at both locations so don't mind doing them again.

Any other suggestions for locations within London?

Figure if we can agree on some locations we can then slot those into the weekend at different times and then find some eateries in those locations at which to meet/ eat.

Another option would be to follow the river south-west, to battersea park & clapham common etc, or even out towards kew gardens & richmond...

May I join in? Assuming yes:

I would second Ed's recommendation of the British Museum and surrounding area: everything from the activity of Oxford Street to cafes to the museum itself (in which there is an huge array of bery photogenic pieces).

I would add that the City can be very interesting at the weekends - it is so quiet that it is possible to stand in the middle of the road and set up a shot in most areas. Although that also means that there are fewer pubs open... But it is only a short walk down to Tower Bridge and the South Bank. Same goes for the Docklands, which is relatively close to Greenwich.
