Free For All Friday - No. 761 by Steve

Returning from a holiday even if it is only a few days or a few weeks in my case, can be stressful. You arrive home refreshed from your break and then you start to see all the jobs you need to do either around the house or in the garden!!

Don't ruin that relaxed state of mind, just grab a sheet of paper and make a list of the tasks you need to do. Any order it doesn't matter. 

Then take some time out and transfer that list to your organiser in priority order. Get the easy ones ticked off and the urgent ones out of the way first. Then work your way through the tasks. Ticking them off one at a time, it is very satisfying. 

I arrive home later today..... guess what I will be doing tomorrow!!

Of course it is Friday so please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. 

Philofaxy Meet Up - London - Saturday 23rd September 2023

I have booked a trip to UK in September 2023

This event is open to everyone, there are no qualifying requirements... if you enjoy good company and you like organisers and planners of any brand then you will be very welcome and you will be amongst friends.

London - Saturday 23 September 2023

So this is a 'calling notice' for people who would like to attend the Philofaxy Meet Up in London

Please read all of the post before you apply for a place on the meet up.

When and Where

We will meet initially at 12 noon at Vapiano in Great Portland Street. This is not far from Oxford Circus underground station.

They no longer use a smart card to track what you have ordered: 

"All orders are taken by scanning a QR code at your table, and we bring all food and drink to you – no more queuing for the chef."

Alternatively download the Vapiano app and use that, I think that will be easier.

Don't panic if you don't have a smartphone.... we will make sure you don't starve or die of thirst!

You can read all about the restaurant on their website here

During the meal there will be plenty of time for chatting and sharing organisers...

Our meet up will finish at about 6:30pm but you don't have to stay to the end. 

How to book a place on the meet up

To get a place on the meet up you need to email: steve[at]philofaxy[dot]com and mark your email 'September 2023 London Meetup', you can book a place straight away.

As places are allocated you will receive an email back again confirming your place on the meet up.

Please do not book travel tickets etc until you have a confirmed place. I will attempt to confirm places within 2-3 hours of receiving your email.

Additional Information

If you aren't familiar with London or how to get to Vapiano from the station you are arriving at then use the Transport for London Journey Planner, it's generally quite good. 

Once we have our full list of people, we will exchange email addresses and if you aren't familiar with London you might be able to get someone to meet you at the station you are arriving at.

Your safety on the day and your enjoyment on the day is of paramount importance to me, so don't be afraid to ask any questions by email, I want everyone who attends to get the most from the day.

Thank you... any questions?
