I know, I know, there are lots of munches already, so who needs another one...? Well, now I've given up the car, I need more munches that are easy for me to get to, and so being totally selfless and not at all self-centred, I have decided to organise a munch that is really easy for me to get to. Please note, I haven't made it directly on my door-step, so there is a small amount of altruism, in making it a bit more central... Many of you might know the Stinging Nettle from the Games Munch which has been held there. We've got a lovely space upstairs which can hold comfortably about 50-60 people and if we spillover (I can hope!), the downstairs bar is very large too. Where is it? The Stinging Nettle, 55 Goldhawk Road, W12 8QP. How do I get there? Goldhawk Road tube on the Hammersmith & City line is the closest, being literally across the road. Shepherd's Bush is really close too. Any buses that go to Shepherd's Bush, or along Goldhawk Road. If you can't figure it out, try www.tfl.gov.uk/journeyplanner Is there parking? It's mostly residential permit only along the side streets. However, at that time of night, it's all ok, so it's a case of finding a space. What's the dress code? Anything you would feel comfortable to wear down your local pub. We have a space to ourselves upstairs, but it's a munch, so please treat it like one. That means it's not a play event, so normal vanilla clothing is more appropriate than fetish. But if you'd normally wear your rubber or your corset down the pub, then feel free.... Can I play? No. It's a munch in a pub. Will there be cake?
Not unless you or anyone else brings it. I'm trying to lose weight. The penalties for breaking the diet are rather severe, so I won't be baking... I'm new, will there be a meeter & greeter? No. Generally (with, I suppose, a few exceptions) everyone is very friendly. Just turn up and explain to people that you're new. You'll soon be introduced around. It's quite likely I won't know most people who turn up either. But, if at some point you'll be negotiating hard limits, I think that a munch in a pub with similar minded people shouldn't be too much of a big deal. Will there be name badges? No. Not unless you want to wear one (in which case, bring your own). Will it be a regular event? It'll depend on how it goes. But I'm thinking the 2nd Thursday of the month is looking fairly free in the calendar of munches.
I really hope to see many of you there! Twitterati? I'm emilyrose_uk - see you there? | |||

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of honourable men like me prepared to put the cake to the sword so you don't have to sufffer Good luck with this, and I'll see you there. Watford Munch is on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. | |||

Good choice of place name too. Does shepherd include shepherdess in modern parlance? "Wisdom begins in wonder” (Socrates) | |||

well, it'll be a long and arduous trek for me to attend this, and i want you to know it'll take a big effort for me to make it, especially without the inducement of free cake or official gropers. however, i will do my best to be there to informally provide both*. * though i might forget the flapjacks. | |||

Yes, I know, I'm so sorry, I couldn't find anywhere closer. It's a big inconvenience for you. I will attempt to make amends, wouldn't want to miss out on any informal groping... Twitterati? I'm emilyrose_uk - see you there? | |||

I took that to mean that our mutual aquaintance was putting her hand up to supply caeks and be the official groper. In which case we feel utterly compelled to attend. cakily and squeezily synd and the evil H
