Party Party with Baby Baby


So, you've got your ticket to Cybermummy. You've got your travel arranged and booked your hotel.

Now what do you do?

What if you've never met another blogger and are nervous about going to the conference, nervous about being in London on your own?

Maybe you went to Cybermummy last year and want to make the most of the opportunity to catch up with your friends.

Well, I've got a cunning plan.

On the evening of Friday 24th June, the night before Cybermummy (or Cybermummy Eve as I'm calling it) I'm having a party. I'm calling it

  'Meet, Greet and Eat'.

The idea is we meet at the Travelodge, er.. greet each other, then go over the road for something to eat.

I've booked the highly regarded Italian restaurant L'abat-Jour for a private party.

I will be selling tickets very soon. They will be £25, payable in advance via Paypal. For that you get a three course meal (starter, pizza and pudding), including a glass of wine, followed by tea or coffee. Service charge is included, as is your first (mini) goody bag of the weekend!

This is an open invitation to anyone attending Cybermummy. I'm hoping that I get to make some new friends, so it doesn't matter if you've been blogging for three weeks or three years you are welcome. You don't need to have met anyone beforehand. I can guarantee you will have a few buddies by the end of the evening. Dress code is casual, this will be an informal do.

So, who's in?

Please leave a comment to let me know you're interested. Also leave your blog URL (so I can have a nose, I'm always looking for blogs to add to my reader) and an email address so I can contact you when the tickets go on sale. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis.

*sits at laptop, looking pensive, refreshing the screen, hoping that someone wants to come to my party*

    What time? I'm travelling up after girls' dinner, I think, so might be a bit late for your dinner? I think probably 7.30 would be the earliest I'd get there. Will you be having drinks somewhere after?

    Wow this has really taken off :-)
    I need to decide if I need to conserve my energy for the big day.
    I'll check situation with hubby too, and may report back.
    Super idea though x

  27. san28 May 2011 at 21:35

    Wow, I'm chuffed at the wonderful response. I was so worried I'd be nobby no mates!

    A little bit more info...
    We'll be meeting at 8 at the Travelodge and heading to the restaurant for 8.30. Afterwards? I don't know, but there are plenty of bars nearby...

    I have now emailed everyone (apart from Melitsa and Savvymum as I couldn't find your email addresses - please get in touch) with the next step.

    Some people have replied and paid for their tickets. This thing is really happening!

    Special thanks to Helen from John Crane Toys who has sent me something for the goody bags :-)

    To all those who can't make it, thank you for the lovely comments. Maybe we'll do it all again next year!

    Sandy x
