HOW TO FIND THE VINYL BAR (PREVIOUSLY YAGER BAR):

Exit St Paul's using the exit for 'NEW CHANGE'. Head down New Change & when you get to the end of the street, at the bottom of the hill, Cross straight over at the Crossroads. Then turn right down Cannon Street. Your first left will be 'Old Change Court, which is a courtyard set back off Cannon Street. It is directly opposite St Pauls Cathedral.

HOW TO FIND OUR AREA:

Consists of Two Floors, the entrance is easily accessed through Cannon Street/Old Change Courtyard,. You will see the bar on your left when you enter. We have exclusive use of the DOWNSTAIRS BASEMENT BAR, so head downstairs when you arrive.... ASK BAR STAFF/RECEPTION STAFF FOR HELP if you need it.

Please do some research and plan your journey using smartphone googlemaps/streetmap or just an old fashioned London A-Z prior to leaving and have some idea where you are going. Some places in London can be difficult to find and hosts cannot be held responsible for people getting lost or not able to find places.

• Please make sure you have read all event info before attending.

• PAYMENT - Is by prepay using the links above. If you do not PREPAY you will need to pay £6 cash to an event host when you arrive at our allocated room.

•Dress Code: Smart casual Trainers are OK, no tracksuit bottoms or jackets, or hoodies.

• Please make an effort to chat to people, participate and and mingle at the event. I bring venue and people together and there is no formula for fun, the event is what you make it!

• If you RSVP & change your mind, please cancel your RSVP. Regular no-showers prevent the enjoyment of meetups for other meetupers, so if you do not attend, you will be marked as a no show, and may be deleted from the group.

• Please arrive earlier for better mingling and intros, especially if you are a new member. Its very hard for me to do intros later on in the night when people have grouped off, are well into their convos and a bit tipsy.

• We do not guarantee or organise the M to F ratio at this event - if this is an issue that is going to affect the enjoyment of your event - Please consider the RSVP list before you arrive - you can work out for yourself how many people of each are going to arrive and make your own choice about whether to attend or not.

• Any comments, suggestions and feedback is always welcomed, moaning/venting is not. Please see me in person or email me post event. Appreciated.

• Most of all, come with a positive attitude and have fun!
