OK, since some of you have asked.

I popped along on Monday as planned and can happily report that I met 4 other members of the Forest Hill Society in the Lemon Grove. Unfortunately, only 1, other than me, was there for the 23 Club, the rest were there doing what good members of the FHS do and supporting local businesses.

Now, I always knew that most of you are away during the day, so I didn't expect too many people - there are only a few of us who run businesses from home after all. However, in combination with half term and in competition with the "Slinging Mamas" over at the Horniman, I guess this was doomed.

Thank you to Mr Admin, who also happens to be the other member of the FHS present, I was not alone in that dreaded "Johnny No-Mates" way I feared. In fact he and I had a great conversation until we were the last ones there. Great food by the way (I had the red curry) and good coffee.

I still think that there is a potential for a lunch club for those of us who are around during the week, so we should try again in March. Once again, the 23rd falls awkwardly being Easter Sunday, so I am aiming for the Tuesday 25th instead. Any suggestions for the next venue? We could try HOP, but I'm not sure where you might do lunch that direction.

I don't mind the event being small, but it would be nice if we had a few people fairly committed to coming along if this is to be worth organising again. If you are around, or work from home occasionally and could organise for it to be that day, it would be great to meet a few new people.
