NG London meet

Posted by andy70707 - September 1st, 2010


nearly a month late, but I've been pretty busy lately. Anyway, on the morning of the 7th of august, me and my dad got up at about 7AM. Had breakfast and drove to the train station (we went from Southampton central since we were staying with my grandparents in North Baddesley). Got the 9:31 train to waterloo, which arrived in London on time at 10:44. Then I met Matt and Tim outside WHSmith. Tim was already staying in london, but actually lives in winchester, only a few miles away from my grandparents. Matt was staying with his nan in Kingston. Matt's dad and My dad then went off to the imperial war museum and we walked to the london eye, then over the bridge to westminster. We got lunch in tesco and I got food poisoning from a tuna sandwich :(. Then at around 12:15 we started walking back to the london eye and met a few other people (sorry I couldn't remember your names) and then met up with everyone else a few minutes before 1PM. Luis arrived on time and shook my hand :). We talked to a few other people and eventually headed off towards namco, taking the group photo on the way. Then we arrived at namco, and spend the rest of our time there. Tim went off for a bit and me and matt went on the simulator thingy, and a few games of baskeetball and silent strike (or whatever the sniper one was called). Was pretty fun until I lost my wallet, I wasn't too upset since It only had £20 cash and my debit card, which I canceled and just got a new one today. I spent about an hour or so looking for it but eventually gave up, and matt payed for a few games of bumper cars which was pretty fun. at around 5PM, we said goodbye to a few people, couldn't find Tim though (I think they said they went to Camden or something). Met my dad at the train station and bought me a new ticket, it was only £6 (It cost me and my mum £6.50 just to go from green park to Westminster on the tube a few weeks before). Train left at 6:15 and got back at around 7:30. Drove back to grandparents house and packed, then drove home at about 9:15. Got back to Cheltenham at about 11:30.

Glad you made it out, and had fun!

Thanks Luis, I'll try and come to any other London meets (or closer. Manchester is a bit far for me and I've never been there so I won't really know my way around). Could you tag me and Matt in the group photo (we're the two on the bottom right)?
