However the poor weather did not stop 13 keen Filofax users from gathering in London, including Danielle from Paris and Ana Maria from Malaga in Spain, which makes my journey look a bit like a ‘walk in the park’!!
Sadly due to the poor weather and the number of people dropping out I had to cancel the Bath meet up on the Sunday.
But back to Saturday, it was a cold day with some snow showers, so not ideal weather for walking around.
It was also great to have new people attending as well as past attendees at the meet up. London remains a popular venue for meet ups.
We had a visit from a journalist who is writing an article for PC Pro magazine about people who prefer 'analogue' planning, analogue (film) photography, and old fashioned board games. Dave rang me earlier in the week for a 'quick 10 minute interview about organisers'.... 45 minutes later he asked if he could come along on Saturday to meet other organiser fans!
It was great to have lots of conversations around the tables. There were five of us in the small group who had attended PlannerCon Europe back in October so it was great to meet up again.
The story of the day is best told in pictures. Thank you to Jené for the additional photos.

After the lunch a few of us battled through the cold weather to visit Muji and Paperchase.
Paperchase didn't have any of their own brand organisers on the shelves, may be they sold out in the New Year. They had a small display of Filofax organisers and inserts on the 1st floor.
Thank you to everyone that attended the meet up... 'When is the next one?' Most probably in the Autumn.
Excellent meet up and already looking forward to the next one in the autumn.

ReplyDeleteWhen Dave publishes, please be sure to point us to it. I'm positive we would love to read it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous day, I loved my first meet up. It was brilliant to meet so many lovely planner addicts. A big thank you to Steve for meeting me at Waterloo and Darren for making sure I got back to Waterloo. How did I end up in so many photos?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve! On the 'Stephanie, Lily and Sara' photo, what is that big patent red planner? Does anyone know? Jene looks glam, as always.
