Looking forward to meeting some of you at the next London affair. Good job about having ADD, you don't normally end up having a boring time when out

I'd like to come to one too, it's just a matter of when I can get in from Dartford. I keep saying I'll go to the next one and then remembering a day after it has happened. How unlike an ADHDer! *gasp*
I am also crap at counting weeks.

Hi
Is this meet up still going on as it been a bit quite since september?
If so, is it the 1st tuesday of the month which is tom? So let me know if it's going ahead, if the kids are in bed by a semi decent time i'll try come down.
Also would it be better to hold these meet ups on a non school night like a friday or sat?

Cool, thanks for clarifing contrarmary. i shall endeavour to be there tom!
Why don't we do a fri one (from a selfish point of view) so we don't have to worry about work the following morning (and for those with kids sticking to bed time, not that that actually happens, when i think about it!)?
Making a note on my phone now. I really do need to start meeting people who i don't have to hide my real self from. Biggest issue i have is 3 young kids who's bed time is about then. I think i'm gonna have to be slefish for a change and let the mrs deal with the mayhem tom.
Anyway really hoping i'll be there. And if i am speak to you then

Why don't we do a fri one (from a selfish point of view) so we don't have to worry about work the following morning (and for those with kids sticking to bed time, not that that actually happens, when i think about it!)? There are problem with Friday meets. Everywhere is busier - unless the meet is in a hired space you won't have it exclusive enough and Friday is a premium night = more expensive to rent. Meets in coffee shops and pubs rely on the goodwill of the manager - Friday is an earning night so unless you're a big spender you're not welcome. Lots of ADHDers also struggle with crowds and/or noise. It's a social night - less people are available. You need a quorum or meets don't work. There's a religious aspect. Some people won't come out because it's Friday. Meets need the right venue at the right time on the right day Accessibility is vital - if your user group can't/won't get there then it's a no. Some people will not go to pubs. Some hate echoing coffee shops. Most people work daytime - so it's usually an evening gig. Parent groups are different. Friday is busy. Weekends are social whirls. I actually run a weekend meet just because society is fractured enough that non-conformist lifestyles demand it, and you can bring kids, but a lot of people shun them. Meets that is, not kids. Or kids

Thanks for the explanation dave. I was purely looking at it from a selfish point of view that would suit me.
Anyway I'm on my way there now. Who else is there tonight?

Just wondering who is going tonight. St David's day. Doesn't have quite the same ring as St Patrick's day.

Hi, Since I will be a Londoner (very soon) I was wondering when is the next meeting ? My english is not perfect yet so there is a chance that I listen more than I talk (I understand perfectly), I hope that will be fine for you. Thanks

Sorry didn't make it today. OH made a good joke (skipped the ADHD group on in impulse, like weightwatchers - enter by the big door).
Was on a day trip to sussex and was planning to come back via Ox circ. But it got to the point I would have been too late to make it worth it.
