Riddikulus: Further Update
I haven't been involved in organising this meet up but I plan to attend and I wanted to get the ball rolling again as I know how meeting spaces will fill up through living in central London, so I've decided to dive in and make this post.
From scrolling through earlier comments it looks as though a number of people are already booked up to come to London and it also looks as though the 'official' meet-up days will be 1 - 3 August with plenty of people still around and doing things on the other days, and the main plans set for 1 - 2 August. As I understand it this is supposed to be a chilled meet up, not a 'mini con' or anything of that nature, but it's useful to gauge what people want to get out of the event when looking at suitable locations.
If I have a sense for numbers then I can help progress booking somewhere to meet as well as sorting out a list of local restaurants so we can eat together in the evening, at least. On that basis, it would be awesome if you could respond to this post using the check in below.
I am planning to attend the meet on: [Please note if you're planning to attend on both 1 and 2 August or if you are planning to come for one day, and if so, which day would be preferable or if both work]
My location is: [Please identify either the hotel you have booked, the area you're planning to stay in, or if you're a Londoner already whether you have any particular transport restrictions]
Any access requirements to be aware of: [Helpful when thinking about locations to ensure nobody is inadvertently excluded from the fun]
My favourite HP ships are: [Just for fun, so we know what kind of things people might like to talk about/be quizzed on etc.]
I would like the meet-up to involve: [See below for some suggestions and please feel free to make your own]
Dietary requirements: [So we can give thought to decent meeting spots and evening meals]
Please let me know if you have any suggestions about things that might be fun to do during the meet and from that we can pull together a bit of an agenda. As noted above, this is all supposed to be pretty relaxed but if numbers allow would one or more 'chaired' meta discussions be of interest, or is that all a bit too much? Would a pub quiz float your boat (either in a pub or out of it) or some fun fandom games (like HP Tropes Charades)? Are you just anticipating a general hang out in a safe space where we can get rowdy and squeeful about fan related things? Would you like to do some timed drabbling/drawbling, some fic related challenges or something similar? I'm also happy to look into hosting film watches and things like that, but it all depends on numbers. All thoughts welcome!
