Dear all (those who attended the meeting on Friday)
Thank you very much all for attending the meeting. Although it's still early stage, I think it was successfull and hope everyone had a good time.

As I mentioned to some people, I will make it as a regular meeting up, which happens on every last Friday of the month. Please keep an eye either here or CouchSurfing. I will post next one soon.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thank you very much for signing up for the meeting tomorrow. We have already around 30 people to meet up altogether- it will be interesting.

If you happen to be coming earlier, then speak to the barman/barmaid to ask where Toshi's area. I will being a flier to put it on the table so that you can easily find us. You can bring your friends of course.

I'm really looking forward to see all of you and let's have fun, trying to speak in language(s) you are learning, migling with people joined. Hope you can come as you  planned and enjoy tomorrow's meeting!

As I mentioned in the post, if you think you have a special skill to get lost easily, then please give me a shout - I will pass my mobile number. But please be reminded that the mobile's reception is quite bad in the bar (someties you can't get any reception!). I therefore would recommend you to call the bar instead : 0207 283 1505 and ask Toshi if you need.

Thank you!
Toshi
