I’ve taken down the Doodle and we’ll move to a final poll of the three Saturdays on here.

Poll added, top of page. I’ve done it so you can select any one, two or all three dates.

Just saw that central line train drivers are threatening to strike the weekend before Christmas. They are very militant so chances are they will do it. Might affect some of you if drinks are 22nd Dec.

Hi! I’m down in London on 15th Dec for the day only for Xmas shopping. I’m heading back in the evening or I’d love to come! If anyone is in Covent Garden in the afternoon on that day, I’ll happily have a mulled wine with you! I may or may not be with friends, but I’d love to say hi to you lot!

I meant to get to the last meetup but couldn't. Perhaps I'll manage this one. (Depends on the weather. Before I learnt to drive I coped with anything the weather could throw at me. Now I don't have to walk to the station I don't do rain.)

Not my plan but may I suggest if any of us stay later, the Phoenix Arts Club is always fun and suitably theatrical!

I’m seeing Curious Incident that night so I am thinking very much West End :-) What’s the Phoenix like early doors? Potential venue for a 5pm-ish meet-up?

I don't know if they sell alcohol but there is always the theatre cafe.

There's also the option to book there too.

It's tough because as many of us want to obviously go but it's a tough time of the year as it can be tough to travel, everyone is busy etc. It's a shame because it's a lovely idea

So I think the 15th carries it!
Sorry to anyone that can’t do that night. But it’s the will of the people. Oh cripes. Am having a flashback to Brexit. Hope Russian bots haven’t tampered with the result?
If you can put the date in the diary, I’ll sort a venue. Am thinking a 5.30/6pm start for people going to shows afterwards?
(If you are coming and going to a show after LMK which one and I can try and layer that in to the location.)

34 votes by 25 voters.... whatever happened to one person one vote? Vote early...vote often. (The achilles heel of Democracy.) Please consider me as a reserve. WLTM but... NB the Phoenix Arts Club gets a second vote from me. It's never that busy when I've been there but you are talking about pre theatre dining time.

34 votes by 25 voters.... whatever happened to one person one vote? Could it be the fact that people were invited to select dates they could do, so some chose more than one? Then the most popular won.

Well this is a lovely idea - I’ve met a few of you already, so it’ll be nice to put some more names to faces! Might even treat myself to a show that night!

I’m going to see Orbital at the Hammersmith Apollo that night but am open to a meet somewhere in central London prior to me going there.

Is it possible to do a kind of drop in arrangement so say we decide on a place and say that people may drop in from say 2pm and take a chance on others being there with a peak time 5-7 ? And another 10-12 ? Somewhere it won’t be awful to be on your own!

I want to know if @ryan and @theatremonkey can make it! Stephen I would respond by asking if this is a case of all members being equal but some more equal than others - except that one, if not both gentlemen on your wish-list would probably seize upon my innocent question as an opportunity for prurience.

And another 10-12 ? Somewhere it won’t be awful to be on your own! That worked well for a previous meet-up last year - a few of us met pre-matinee in the Understudy at the National, then some of those people + some new arrivals met post-matinee. The evening meet-up was more difficult as it was busier and involved us debating whether to flag down likely-looking people who looked lost to come and join us
