The last meetup and went well!!

25 naturals attended! Let's beat the number this time!

There was a mix up with the restaurant I booked for this meetup- I had to make a last minute venue change-
Luckily The Grand Union in Kennington was free- This is a great place with a terrific terrace located just behind the Imperial War Museum! Check out the map here

The closest tube station is Lambeth North, exit the station and head south down Kennington Road for about 7 minutes. The bar is on the left hand side of the street, on the corner, just after the Imperial War museum.

We'll have a mixed buffet (vegetarian options will be available) and the drinks will be extra. I have paid for this in advanced so please remember bring £10 in cash!

Please remember to alter your RSVP on the meetup site (www.meetup.com) if your plans change. Deadline for changes is SATURDAY MAY 30th!!

Since there hasn't been a meetup in a while I thought that this time we should make it a social event, and on the night discuss where we'd all like to see the group head in the future. So far 12 people plus myself have said they are coming. I'd like to get a few more so ladies if you are free...

The place I've chosen to meet is Cubana! It's near a major train and tube station (Waterloo), has great food, mostly free range and organic, mostly tapas, with good prices and they make the perfect mojito!

You can check out their website here:

I'm planning to arrange a deal for the evening, it should be around £10 plus drinks. I'll give it 1 more day in case anyone else wants to attend but I need a definitive number by Thursday

Please RSVP as soon as possible. I'll send directions to those who do.

Thanks!

The aim of this first Meetup is to meet and greet the members of this group and to define how we would like our meet ups to be run.

Bring your photos, business cards and or contact information.

We can discuss our personal natural hair journeys, coping with the reactions from family and friends, dealing with that "transitional stage", locks, braids and much more.

We have secured the top floor at Sweet Handz @ Manjaro a plush Ghanaian restaurant in North London for this private function, along with a special rate for appetizers (meat & vegetarian) including a non-alcoholic "cosmopolitan" cocktail. Check out their website at www.sweethandz.com Attendees can however choose their own meal from their menu, alternatively, if you do not feel to eat, please feel free to drop by for a drink. There is a drinks bar available.

If advocates are happy to pay beforehand, I have enabled PayPal to accept your payments. However, please be advised that individual attendees are responsible for settling their bills otherwise.

This meal will include appetizers consisting of Mutton Kebabs, vegetable samosas, kellewelle (fried plaintain) including a non-alcoholic "cosmopolitan" cocktail.

So let's "dine and define" and make this group a success!
