Thank you to everyone who came along for a drink last night! I am really pleased to have met you all.
This was the first time I've organised a London powwow and it was a great turnout. Attendees included people working with German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Hindi, Chinese and more, at various stages of their careers, and I think there was a really friendly atmosphere. I left some of you there when I went off to catch the tube so I hope you stayed until closing!
The bar was a little busier than we might have hoped and the area reserved for us wasn't ideal. I'm very happy to continue organising events like these, perhaps every few months, but suggestions for different venues are most welcome. My intention is for these meetings to be very informal as I think there are plenty of other opportunities for more formal networking. My preference is therefore to continue to meet in a pub somewhere without forcing people to commit to paying for a separate room.
Perhaps holding the event on a Tuesday night might also give us more space and flexibility in terms of numbers. Again, I'm open to suggestions.
I've filed the attendance but please let me know if I've missed you off - I've based this on the very long and now quite crumpled list I had with me so if you didn't tick your name off you might have been forgotten.
Thanks again to everyone and I hope to see you all again soon!
