St. Albans Blogger Meet-Up
[note: post updated 20 October with location]
I’ve been mulling over the idea of organising a meet up for St. Albans based bloggers for a while now but, for one reason or another, it’s just not happened. That’s about to change…
I’ve been in touch with a number of you and we’ve agreed a date – Tuesday 28 October. We’ll be meeting at The Portland Arms The venue will be a pub that which has free wifi and is within 10 minutes walk from the town centre. I’ll confirm location soon but, in the meantime, block off the evening in your diary.
Interested in coming along? Post a comment here with a link to your blog and, if you want, feel free to link to this post and to ask other St. Albans based bloggers to come along. More info soon…
Tall Rich stopped by The Portland Arms a few months ago and had this to say here on St. Albans Blog:
A friendly “hello” welcomed us to the pub as soon as we walked in. The
menu had a good range of choices. I plumped for the burger which was
very tasty if decidedly unvegetarian – handmade from local Hedges Farm
beef which was very tasty and juicy, topped with caramelised onions in
a ciabata bun – far better than the somewhat insipid buns some pubs
serve. Sarah chose the butternut squash risotto which she found
delicious and filling; this was presented attractively with a parmesan
crisp. Whilst waiting for the food we had a drink – I can recommend
the beer as well kept – and introduced ourselves to Buster the
labradoodle who probably thinks he runs the pub himself. Buster has
his own blog here.

I’ll be there.
Sounds like a grand idea… I’d love to come along.
And me!
This is great news! Who else?
It seems rather obvious, but I’ll be there too
This sounds like a fine idea. I would love to come along if that is ok.
I might be there, depending on exact time and venue.
What time will the festivities begin?
I’m interested, but a starting time would be handy…

I’m planning to get there around 7pm, and that’s the time we told Sara the landlady, so let’s go with that. Happy for people to just turn up when they turn up though, so if you’re running late for whatever reason, please don’t feel nervous about arriving whenever you can. I’d imagine it will go from maybe 7-10ish or however long the last people want to stick around.

Food is also served until 9.30.

Soory I missed it – will keep an eagle eye out for future meets
