->LONDON MEET UP<-

there are lots of good pubs in fitzrovia/bloomsbury. good points: the pubs will be quiet at the weekends, it's central for everyone, and it's near the uni so the pubs are used to geeks playing chess 😉

Depending on the date: I'm in.

is that the one on the euston road? haven't been there but i'm going soon to buy a new board to go with the huge lewis chess set i've just bought...

anyway, a good pub might be the Fitzroy Tavern. i *think* you can book a function room downstairs which has got booths n stuff. the beer is cheap and it does food.

No i like the choice. There is plenty of public transport links to Euston, everyone should be able to make it. I'll ring that place tomorrow and see howw they feel about a load of chessheads using up all their tables. Anyone got preferences for a date? Shall we say 4 weeks on saturday, that would be October 15th. If this is too early, say now 😀

fitzroy tavern can be reached easily from warren street, goodge street, and tottenham court road tube, as well as tons of buses.
