Still sorting, will confirm Wednesday.
(Clearly I am taking a leaf out of the producers of Waitress and spinning this out as long as possible.)

I can't join you all for this outing, more's the pity!

I've met him on several occasion. In fact last time he recognised me before I saw him.

I have approached a couple of venues, Phoenix Artists Club are the most amenable and we have a reservation in the main bar from 4pm until 7.30pm.
I’ve gone for a west end venue and a time slot between shows so that we can maximise all the things we love to do (meetings strangers from the internet, Christmas shopping and going to the theatre, in my case.)
Apologies in advance if you don’t like the venue/time/date. I’ve optimised for mass appeal which means I will have missed some edge-cases.
Now, if you can like this post as a means of telling me you are coming, I can either up-size or downsize the table :-)
(Edit to get the bloomin name right)

I should be able to pop in, I've sadly arranged an Ikea trip/seeing the Coca Cola van that weekend (I need more cheap glasses for my Amaretto/Whisky sours) but that is what Sundays/late night shopping is for

Phoenix Arts Club (well I'm presuming its that anyway) I shall endeavour to be there at some point between four and five, will be wearing the Board badge generously supplied by @theatremonkey when I met him a month or so back - will probably have left by six or so though.

I can see no reason as to why I won't or can't be there so am looking forward to meeting some new faces.

I was working at pace earlier and in addition to totally bolloxing up the actual name of the venue, I also did not give credit where credit is due...thank you to Stephen for the venue inspiration. Is it too Blue Peter of me to bring name stickers so we can write our user names and real world names? (Also, can a mod fix the venue name in the title?)

I can't believe I might meet theatremonkey.com Sadly, no, I won't be there. According to BurlyBeaR , I shouldn't have clicked "like" apparently. But I click that so often, I can't remember. Sometimes, the bear is brighter than we think. And I can't believe I just typed that. Bears is bright 💡💡👍😘

The idea of name tags is actually a thought that crossed my mind today.

I'm really looking forward to it. Do let me know what people may be seeing in the evening as I may book something. Or i'll stay out all night drinking. One of the two...

I've booked a matinee (fairly sure this particular theatre will allow a refund or exchange if necessary) nearby so am hoping that by then I'll be fit to attend. Nearer the time I will also book something for the evening but that should still allow me to drop in for 90 mins or so.

I'm seeing "Fiddler on the Roof" in the afternoon so my attendance will depend on how long-winded it is by mid-December! Hopefully will make it though.

Name sticker question, please: if we had these, wouldn't we first have to identify ourselves anyway in order to receive our own? Or would they be left for people to claim (raising the diverting possibility of jokers trying to pass themselves off as another)? Or would it be up to us to make our own?

Im not sure I like the idea of people saying they are looking forward to meeting certain people. Sounds a bit like that dreadful school experience of not being picked for teams and left standing at the end because no one wants you. Im looking forward to meeting everyone Yes to name badges too, I presume it will be our forum name rather than real name? Could also wear our Theatre Forum badges for those who have them.

Likely to attend, will be good to meet the person behind the Avatar.
Assume theatremonkey. is not attending as he may not actually be a monkey in real life, and what if BurlyBeaR is not a bear.
