Birds are singing, spring is sprung and the nights are getting longer… Yes – it’s time for some more drinks!

Our last gathering was at the end of November and, since then, a general level of mania has prevailed: the digital world has gone wild!

Before I start reminiscing about 1999, let’s move onto the details:

Venue: St Chads
Date: 22 March (Thursday)
Time: 1830hours onwards.

If you’d like to come and aren’t already on the list, please check out the website – www.justtheone.org and the link to the mailman list management interface. Any queries to the ListOwner.

Cheers!

So, with Christmas approaching we’re seizing the opportunity to have the last drinks we could without having to call them “Christmas Drinks”.

Time, then, for another “just the one” gathering – a chance to meet and catch up on life, jobs, business, tech toys and whatever else takes your fancy. The last one was in August so lots will have happened since then…

I’ve had a quick chat with the venue and it seems that we’re safe from antler-wearing Christmas parties (for now!) so there’s no need for any weird outfits. Unless you want to of course.

So – to summarise:

Venue: St Chads
Date: 28 November (Tues)
Time: 1830hours onwards.

Let me know if you’re coming – looking forward to seeing y’all.

UPDATE: ooooh – we’ve now got a website – www.justtheone.org. It’s remarkable for adding nothing at all to this info, except for a link to the mailman list management interface. We’ve also, obviously, got a list. If we’ve missed you in error please just subscribe. Any queries to the ListOwner.

Well, it’s ‘that time of year again’ (ie a few months after our last drink ).

Time for another “just the one” gathering – a chance to meet and catch up on life, jobs, business, tech toys and whatever else takes your fancy. The last one was in May so lots will have happened since then – not least of which, of course, is the loss of Mr Winter to London Town due to the recent family relocation to York. Still, Wednesdays are usually a ‘London Client Day’, hence our meeting again on Wednesday August 2, 2006.

We’ve decided on (drumroll) a change of venue. Yes, 6 years at Clerkenwell House have sped by, but a chancg of venue is called for. Somewhere with that urban feel, background DJ, and an ‘indoor-outdoor’ blending of space (ie street if it’s fine, space inside if not).

Thanks to Jayne and before that Paul we have a new venue to try: St Chad’s. Conveniently located near Kings Cross station. Yet also conveniently located not too near Kings Cross Station. Link above has maps.

So – to summarise:

Venue: St Chads
Date: 2 August (Weds)
Time: 1830hours onwards.

Let me know if you’re coming – looking forward to seeing y’all.

Anyway, now that I’m back in town we’re going to meet for “just the one” (as Camilla would say) as follows:

On: Thursday 11 May

At: Clerkenwell House

When: 6.30pm onwards

Looking forward to that half pint before heading home…

In honour therefore of some interesting times through the boom and bust, a number of us meet from time to time for a “quickie”: refugees all from BBC Online, ICP, office-sharers and, well, the drinking clan of the Holborn area.

It’s therefore time for the next installment:

11 May 2006

6.30pm onwards (just the one, of course)

Clerkenwell House

Here’s hoping it’ll be a warm enough evening to loiter outside.

Clerkenwell House has seen the dot com come and go. We went from 10 people to over 100, back to 8 and then up to 50 between 2000 and 2004, and in that time all leaving “do”s, joining drinks, celebrations, sales closure meetings and ‘strategic development brainstorms’ have been held there. I’ll be fun to be back there for a drink after a long year away.
