[deepshots 2]

Just bought tickets to London's 3D Printshow in September!

Who else is going?? I was there last year and found it very interesting... and set my mind towards UM2

We are!

Looking forward meeting you there.

Impressive list of exhibitors. Wish I could be there...

 

[skint 61]

Would love to make it, but hmm...not sure I can :( I am playing in a golf charity match on the 4th & 5th. Possibly make the 6th? ... which day you going deepshots?

 

[Blizz 53]

Hmm was considering going but the hotels there are so expensive

[deepshots 2]

I'll be there sat (6th)

You never know, if someone needs a hand to set up the printerwall :idea:

 

[Blizz 53]

Arjan: Still considering on going actually (the 6th that is), the wife wants to combine it with shopping (gonna be an expensive weekend). If we manage to book, perhaps we can all meet up?

[ultiarjan 1,223]

Sure. Pub on Saturday evening ? I'll leave my wife & kids at home....

[Blizz 53]

Unfortunately I don't have that option, the wife loves the 3D print stuff by now and she saw there will be printed jewellery as well (unstoppable).

We just booked flights and the hotel (4 - 6 september). Bye bye 600€.

So yeah, would be nice to meet up there

How about a rB&B?

I have never used it, but you should be able to rent like affordable rooms.

Wherever you are all going to meet up, post it here in the thread. Time & place.

If I have time I will also drop by!

 

[Blizz 53]

Cool

Perhaps we should let you guys organise something? It'll be a lot busier for you I guess, we can accommodate.

 

[Blizz 53]

Sander we decided to make it a full weekend city trip so we'll be arriving friday morning and staying until sunday evening. That should also include a good hotel so we booked in the http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/hilton-london-canary-wharf.en-gb.html

 

[SandervG 1,521]

Well you have picked out a good show to visit!!

And I would count on me to organise something, at the moment there is too much on my plate already.

But a simple bar would be sufficient right?

 

[deepshots 2]

Are you going to be manning the UM stand Sander?

 

[Blizz 53]

Sander: I was simply referring to "time slot wise"

A bar would indeed suffice, not much organising to do there.

The Billingsgate area is completely zombie-apocalypse-deserted during the weekend and boring. Most of the Pubs serve the city crowd and are closed Saturday. They are rammed weekdays from about 4-8 and empty after that once the suits have gone.

To find anything I'd recommend a hop over the river to the Borough Market area. Lots of cool pubs here, my favourite being the The Market Porter

 

[Blizz 53]

Good to know

What would be the best way (read cheapest) to get from Heathrow to Canary Wharf, if I'm allowed to abuse your knowledge a bit?

 

[deepshots 2]

Tube would be the cheapest... Change at Green Park...but it also takes forever. Heathrow Connect is quite good. It comes reasonably quickly from Heathrow to Paddington. From there you'd had to continue with tube again.

 

[Blizz 53]

Guess HC it is then, thanks for the advice

Should be there on the 6th, looking forward to it.

Looks like I'm going to spend a weekend in England too, Saturday for 3D printing show in London and Sunday meeting a dear friend in Cambridge.

The hunt is on for cheap flight and hotel (for as far as possible in London ;-) ).

Anyone decide on a pub for the evening yet?

[dirkels 0]

Just booked a night ferry and Hotel in London :-)

Was wondering about tickets to the event it self. In advance it's 22.50 + 2.50 and on the day 25.00, sounds the same to me. So I think I just buy them on the day, that way if I need to change plans I save 25.00. Or is there an other reason for getting a ticket in advance?

 

[ultiarjan 1,223]

Bought tickets online cause it's easy and usually it avoids standing in line ....

Do we meet up on saturday evening ? <Deepshots> recommended the "The Market Porter"
