I'm arranging a childless not by choice meet up at The Betjeman Arms pub thebetjemanarms.co.uk/ and I hope you can join me for brunch, lunch or just a coffee or glass of wine - from 11:30am.
The Betjeman Arms is at the front of St Pancras station - right next to Kings Cross station. I will aim to be in the centre area of the pub, so walk through the main pub towards the restaurant area and I will aim to be in the centre area where there are tables to eat at. I will wear a red shirt with a red cardigan over my shoulders to hopefully stand out. You can also ask for 'Sam (Samantha)' at the bar and I'll let them know where I'm sitting. Come anytime between 11.30-1pm.
(Brunch meet up only for childless not by choice women please, no TTC (trying to conceive)).
The team from the Full Stop Podcast will also be meeting for drinks that day at the Betjeman Arms - on the Grand Terrace area - from 1pm - 4pm on Saturday 7th October (also a childless not by choice event).
It would be lovely if you can join me beforehand and then from 1pm there's the option to join the Full Stop Podcast event if you'd like to.
If you would like to join the Full Stop Podcast team on 7th October please RSVP here by 30th September thefullstoppod.com/rsvp-7-oct so they have an idea of numbers.
You're also welcome to just come along to the brunch if you don't want to join the Full Stop Podcast meet up.
If you're new to The Full Stop Podcasts - it's a monthly podcast discussing childlessness related topics, presented by Sarah Lawrence, Michael Hughes and Berenice Smith, who are all childless not by choice. This event is an opportunity to find out what's going on in the childless community, meet others and feel the support of our community. More info here: thefullstoppod.com/
Let me know if you need any more information about the meet up, or details on how to find the pub or where to meet - and I very much look forward to seeing you on the 7th October.
(To find the pub, if you walk out the front of Kings Cross station, to your right cross Pancras Road and walk up the large stairs next to the entrance to the tube. The pub is at the top of the stairs, at the front right of St Pancras station. You can also get to the pub from inside St Pancras station, from the tube and mainline trains. The pub is on the higher level above the shops, at the far end of the station, overlooking the Eurostar train platforms). So if you're standing at 'Ted Baker' or 'Reiss', go up the stairs or escalator and walk right, towards the front of the station past the Eurostar trains. The pub is at the far left corner of the station, past the large bronze statue).
