Seems to be a few people who WANT to come but are slightly intimidated - can I offer some re-assurance?


Firstly, tonight will be new for everyone here - we have had little drink ups in the past but this should be on a different level and most of us will be unsure what to expect


Secondly, despite all the ribbing and disagreements that you read on the forum, face-to-face meetings have been nothing but great fun with everyone dropping their persona and being their "real" selves (for the most part anyway ;-) )


I believe if you are thinking of coming but don't you'll regret it later when the reports start to trickle in (hopefully from about 3am tomorrow morning when someone who has had a bit too much to drink gets all emotional - they're great ones!)

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process"

    • Sue, if you put on a Dog mask, I'm.sure Bob will say "nice bit of wensleydale Grommit?" to you at the drinks 
    • What, a Brie tasting?  I'd rather have an animal mask than have to eat Brie 🤮
