I think it’s looking like May 25th might be the date with most votes ( apologies to those who can’t make that). Do you want me to close the poll and put 25th in the thread title? |

Ok, poll closed.
Meeting time needed next. Pre-matinee or between matinee and evening performances? And of course a meeting place.
If you need another poll to arrive at decisions let me know.

Unless one of the Moderator can supply me with any more, I have only 10 small blue Theatre Board pins.

It was (is) a small blue pin that you could wear when you went to see a show and you could instantly recognise a fellow theatre board member.
Particularly if you are a attending a show alone.
They were sent to me by a Moderator (can't remember who or when exactly) for a theatre quiz once and there were too many. These are what I have left over.

Don’t give anthony40 ideas! If the meet-ups take off we might be able to look into getting more pins. No promises. |

Why not have a sash and a combat berry like the old New York guardian angels?
Hope everyone who goes has a great time. I'll not darken it with my presence and B'ham will be rammed as it is the big Pride weekend.

So timing - shall we say between matinee and evening show?
Does anyone want to suggest where to meet? Southbank or somewhere else?
If it works out OK we can hopefully find another date where others who wanted to but couldn’t make it this time can come. With pins 😁
( arranging things like this is most unlike me I have to say!).

This location works for me and the time too. So far I don’t have anything booked for that day so very flexible with the time. |

Should we put a time slot around it, say between 5 and 7 or whatever you think best? That way people can drop by as it suits or stay for the whole duration. Making it flexible might encourage more people to join in.

Yes thank you BurlyBeaR that would be great and agree re the time slot! If anyone is going to a show that day and has a preference for location please say! I’d suggest perhaps the National as everyone knows it but aware if anyone is west end somewhere nearer the bridge to embankment may work better ( or in the west end). I’m flexible so no real preference. |

Might be in town, but would depend on location and timing.

Sorry just realised I've missed the poll. I can make any of those dates.
Just been looking for my old forum badge, I think last time I wore it was for the Theatre Cafe quiz in Shaftsbury Ave (Anthony40 was also on the team if I'm right?)
Anyway couldn't find it unfortunately but I did find a Dress Circle and Stephen Sondheim Society badge together with 2 £1 coins. So worth the hunt.

So, in the event that these badge cannot be sought, I have the 10 remaining ones that I am happy to give away on the day, on a first-come basis, until they run out. One badge per person. |
