    Hello everyone!
    Would anyone be interested in a London meet-up? Katie has suggested the week of 11th June as the "thing" is real networking.
    I would like to propose Tuesday 12th June at Somerset House from 6pm. I can organise a room if necessary but there is a very nice cafe in the Courtyard that does amazing custard tarts...

    Excellent!! 12th June 6pm at Somerset House it is!! I suggest Fernandez & Wells (http://www.fernandezandwells.com/somerset-house.php) - it can be a bit pricey but totally worth it for the cake and we can sit in the courtyard if it is sunny or steal a room if it's not. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Katie - would you be able to publicise this a bit more? I'll have to think of some kind of "carrying a red rose" signal for you all!!
