London UK get together

I have a concern about getting all out lights out on a table in a busy pub is just tempting someone else to walk off with one. The first meet we had where we booked a table for a meal worked out well. Can't we book in at the local curry house or something ?
 
I understand your concern, Jay. But I guess we'll just have to be cautious and look out for each other. One light out at a time? - Not quite as free and easy as before, but we're struggling to find anywhere to book.

Also, not everyone who said they'd come has reconfirmed for the original booking, so a finite number to book seems unlikely and we shall have to play it by ear on the day.

With any luck the weather will be with us and we can snag a table in the beer garden. Wrap up warm!

I'm also in favour of one light out at a time perhaps... depends on how crowded the pub is and whether or not we can get a booth in a corner or something!

Wow - only a week to go now. Too far to know what the weather will bring or even who is coming - bit of a free for all. But fun!

BTW - I let cdosrun know about this the other day - he'll come if he can.
 
I'm sorry I won't be able to be there. I'm due in Lincoln on Friday and heading up to Sheffield for the weekend.

I hope everybody has a great time!
 
I'll keep post #1 up to date and place a tinfoil hat :tinfoil: next to people who have confirmed they will be coming. Please post to say if you can make it or not just so we know.

Looking forward to it.

I'll bring the "case o lumens" with me:

Thrunite Catapult, Malkoff MD4 body with MD2 Head, M60 MC-E Warm dropin and lo-hi ring, Eagletac M2XC4, Lumapower D-Mini VX Ultra (with 18650 body). Oh, and the ever useful DMM.

I'll be there.

Many thanks to TX101 who has been kind enough to give me a lift and save me falling asleep on the tube!

I'll be bringing my "Case O old Welsh miners torches" and other odd lights.

I could also bring some Paracord bits and bobs if any one wants a lanyard/monkeys fist/keyrings/bracelets ??? I'll tell you what, I'll try to bring a few examples of each for people to see.

Looking forward to this :popcorn:
 
Just ordered a couple of AW's IMR16340s so the Lumapower will be available in "pocket rocket" mode for people to look at and be astounded at how such a small torch puts out so much light 😱 :twothumbs

(Assuming of course they arrive before the 27th in time for me to get them charged!)

Get well soon Nyctophilliac mate!
 
Nice lights Dave,

at this rate I'll be bringing my 'Case O' Influenza'!!!!!!:mecry:

Hope I'm better by next Sat!

Honey and lemon all round...

You can keep that thanks!

Have one of these from all of us :grouphug: and get well soon.
 
And here's the "case o lumens" as it is now, with all chargers, the zebralight and the lummi in their respective places. The batteries for the Lummi and Zebralight are in the clear case roughly in the centre of the photo, which will also hold the IMR16340 cells when they arrive.

If I decide to get a Malkoff MD2 Host with M61 dropin at some point, I can always move the Zebralight to under the Lummi and that'll give me room for one more torch down the middle I reckon 🙂
 
I'll be there, just me & a few lights.
Any chance of that bed for the night please Lee?
 
Lee thank you for the heads up on this meet. I will bring a load of IMR 16340 cells just in case. BLUE LED
 
We may have to cluster round the heat of the overloaded leds! Looks like cold wet and muddy for our day , but hey, forecasters are always wrong! Not exactly shirt and shorts weather though ( Rob, take note - we've never even seen you in trousers yet!!)

I'm holding out for snow. Tobogganing by torchlight sounds good!

Refresh my memory - which batteries are affected by extreme cold? Is it Lithium, lithium ion or LSD NiMhs??? I think I'm bringing all of those.


Maybe the pub crawl could just stay at the one pub...
There is an indian restaurant around the corner...
