Conservative Blogging Piss-up (One week to go!).

Just a quick reminder of the Conservative bloggers get-together/piss up. From the comments and emails I've received it looks like Saturday the 30th May would be the most popular. The meeting place will be St Stephen's Tavern in Westminster (opposite Big Ben) at 1200. This is an informal do, not a strategy meeting. It's called a Conservative blogger's piss up but it is open to anyone really - other bloggers and those who visit and leave comments (the important people).

I hope that those who have shown interest can still make it, it would be great to be able to put faces to names. Also, it should be a good day out if you fancy a bit of sightseeing. You will be sat 20 yards from Big Ben, you are also within a short walk to the London Eye, Westminster Palace, the Cathedral, a few of the top museums, Downing Street and a host of other points of interest.

This should be a great day out for a bit of a laugh, a drink and possibly a bit of culture if that's your bag (man). See you there!

P.s Can you leave a comment if you are able to make it. Can you also mention it on your blogs, or comment on blogs that you read.

Cheers Steve.

I will be there

Lord Elvis of Paisley said...

Will do my best to be there, and good idea! Well done you. I say we have a Mr Conservative Blogger contest to be judged by Tory Totty online. I will of course win.

CherryPie said...

I have something else planned for that day, but I look forward to finding out how you all get on.

CherryPie,

Sorry to hear you can't make it. Hopefully there should be some before and after phots to post on the blogs.

John M Ward said...

I hope to be there, if at all possible (I am in the middle of house-selling at the moment).

John M Ward said...

Lord Elvis: it depends on what criteria the judging would be.

If it's on singing, then yes you'd win hands down, after your performance on Iain Dale's radio programme a couple of nights ago…

Daily Referendum said...

Nice one John,

Look forward to seeing you there.

I missed Lord Elvis singing as I was on a night shift. I'll have to listen to the podcast.

Croydonian said...

At this rate we will colonise the whole place, greatly confusing the tourists in the process.

It is with great regret that I shall be unable to grace you with my presence. A rather sad family saga is unfolding.

Bugger,

I hope everything works out for you.

Are there no women going?

Daily Referendum said...

Philipa,

I'm hoping that some will turn up. I'm going to be advertising the get-together over the next few days and hopefully some on the Ladies will see it.

Have a good time, folks!
