3rd Ricoh Forum meet-up - 21.11.2009 - London

Postby odklizec » Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:03 am

Hi folks,

Unfortunately, I have some bad news regarding the tomorrow's meet-up.

It all started with me and my recent (middle of this week) discovery of some problems that prevented me to flight to London. This alone would not be a problem. Cris, Tom and Ricoh guests would be a very nice and pleasant company. I'm not a big speaker anyway ;) Unfortunately, due to the recent traveling restrictions in Ricoh, busy schedule of Ricoh UK folks (due to the GXR introduction), there will also be no one from Ricoh. And the final nail to the meet-up coffin, thanks to all this, we have no GXR sample for this meet-up :( The number of GXR samples is currently very limited and there are some presentations that were planned before our meet-up.

So, it seems the only reasonable thing what to do now is to shift the date of this meet-up. We are currently looking for better date, this time with some Ricoh folks and assured availability of GXR sample (or samples) to view and try.

Once again, I'm very sorry for disappointing news!


PS: Even despite the canceled meet-up, Chris (VladimirV) will still go to the Bridge Lounge (should be there around 12:00). So if you want to meet him and discuss the Ricoh cameras and maybe speculate a bit about GXR future, you are of course welcome to join him!


-----------
It's been a while since our last meet-up so we (Cristian, Tom and me) decided it's time for another one! ;)

This time, we decided to meet at the same place as first time - The Bridge Lounge. It's nice quiet place with very friendly staff and enough room to absorb all Ricoh cameras brought with you. It's also near the famous Borough Market and South Bank, just in case the weather will be good enough to go out and to take some photos.

Here you can see some photos from the first meet-up in the Bridge Lounge:

Some key dates and facts:

Date: 21-11-2009
Start time: 12:00
Place: The Bridge Lounge - > see google map <

Please, keep watching this post (just in case of "last minute" changes and updates)! The best would be to tick the "Subscribe Topic" link at bottom of this topic.

If you want to join us, please show your interest under this post. We need to know an approximate number of people expected to come, just to book the places in The Bridge Lounge. Thanks!

We all hope to see and shake hands with new faces as well as with old dogs! ;)

Hi Pavel,

Hi Pavel,

This time, I might be able to make it, at least later in the the day. I take it there will be new toys on display, right? In any case, looking forward to meet you guys again!

Hi Martino,

Great news! The same place, the same faces, just one year older ;) Unfortunately, I cannot confirm any new toy to be there. But you know, there is always a hope?
