    Time for a Surrey GTG?

    Just posting to see potential interest in a meet up in Surrey around jn 7 M25? An evening in May maybe a Sat? Depending on numbers and dates we can sort something out. Do reply to this and we'll do a private reply. M

    Possibly (work dependant) as long as newbies with very small collections are welcome.

    The last one I went to was held in a pub just outside Kingston, we met up on a Saturday lunchtime which was great as the wife dropped me off and went shopping and then picked me up on her way back.
    Lunch time works better for me, if possible.

    Looking forward to seeing if the date / time / location chosen is doable for me.

    Edit: pleased to hear venue likely to be vague proximate to a station!

    I'll send a group PM to all that have responded so far with a proposed date and location (somewhere close to Jn7) but near a train station as - one person has said could it be close to a rail station as travelling by rail. A venue can be sorted once we have dates sorted.

    If any more want to join in and meet other TZ people - especially newbies and old - it's a great chance to try out and see each others collections and share our strange habits!

    Done!

    I have sent everyone a PM with suggestions now. Can everyone send back a PM on the date and I have a couple options on venue ideas.

    So if anyone else wants to come along - please do PM me and I'll forward on details. I need to finalise this week as I'm away on business the following week.

    I could also potentially come to this, depending on date etc. and I promise not to roll up with a video board full of GIF's

    I could be interested in attending depending on the date / time.

    Thanks for organising this Martyn...I've just RSVPed to your 'final' PM.

    When others have replied, can you post a list of the members expected to attend, please?

    digging this post up from the depths..

    Deep in the Surrey countryside a gathering of like minds will be happening very soon, to discuss and share watch related topics, compare and contrast collections and maybe even have a beverage.

    Very last call on this one - do PM me if you'd like to come along - location in reach of London or Surrey region

    - else I'm sure a full report will be posted in due course.

    I'm not planning to post a list of attendees - there is about 10 attending the meet, somewhat less staying for the pub grub after.

    Great meet up and a huge thank you to Martyn for organising

    Some lovely watches to see from an amazing Double Red 1665, lots of great vintage pieces (and an excellent chat from HarryTuttle on his WW2 German collection), right through to modern watches from a lot of the current brands!

    Really enjoyed it fellas, shame I couldn't make lunch!

    Once again, thanks to Martyn for organising.

    Many thanks to Martyn for organising this, it was a wonderfully enjoyable day of interesting watches and good conversation. It's always a delight to meet other forum members and put faces to names.

    I'm already looking forward to the next time we meet.

    Many thanks for organizing this, Martyn. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and especially der Dritte Mann.


    How were the gherkins and have you tried the Leberwurst yet? You know who you are!
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Thanks again to Martyn for organizing a thoroughly enjoyable gtg, also good to see all those who attended.

    Now for the flypast!
