Possible UK Meet Up - December 2026

Fellow Philofaxy friends

During a recent chat with Our Glorious Leader, the idea was mulled of another UK meetup. Steve was for the idea, but the short time he has on his trips to Blighty are taken up with family and friends and so he couldn't guarantee his attendance. 

However, he pledged his support if I would organise a London event, so I am in the process of gauging the enthusiasm for such a meeting. 

I propose the same venue as last time, although Vapiano has moved since then. It is now further east along Oxford Street, behind Centre Point, at 12, St Giles Square WC2H 8AP, near the Tottenham Court Road tube station. I'll previsit it next time I'm up in town to carry out  a risk assessment!

The date is Saturday 5th December at noon.

I appreciate it would not be the same if Steve is unable to attend, but the last meeting was so successful that even without him, it should still be very worthwhile and, hopefully, fun.

Thank you for your attention.

Warmest regards

(UK)Dave 

Comment below or email philofaxy at gmail dot com if you would like to attend and we will forward your emails on to UK Dave. 

Vapiano moving.... end of an era to not be in Great Portland Street! 

Thank you UK Dave for taking the lead on this one. 

Dates for your diary - Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 October 2026

We are going to run some more 'Virtual Meet Ups'.

When? - Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2026 at the following time:

• San Francisco 08:00 am,
• Costa Rica 09:00 am,
• New York 11:00 am, 
• London 4:00 pm, 
• Paris 5:00 pm,
• Budapest 5:00 pm.  

Join in on both days if you wish. 

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Signal. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Signal user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. 

 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Signal account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Signal, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Signal is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2026

Do you have any special routines that you do in the last days of a month or in the first days of the new month? 

In my own case the number of tasks I have on the last day and the first day seems to be growing! 

As usual please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.
