This is the time of year when we arrange a meal together. Traditionally we
realise that although it's supposed to be the 2nd Friday in November, not
enough of us can make that date and so we agree to meet up on some other day.
This year it's me who can't make the 2nd Friday (I'm performing in what
promises to be a rather excellent concert in St James's, Piccadilly), but I
am (depressingly) free for most of the rest of the winter.
Two years ago we met in the M*rk*t* and decided it had lost a good deal of
its appeal. Last year we met on Zoom, and I thought it was rather good, since
it allowed people from all over the UK and beyond to attend. Indeed, David
Empson said he would have come if we'd told him about it.
Anyway, what thoughts/interest for this year?

In its favour the M*rk*t* is pretty reachable. Didn't we go somewhere

For you, maybe. I’m in Surrey, and it’s a pig to get to!
centre near there.
I quite enjoyed it on Zoom last year, as many who are not London-based (or
even UK-based) were able to attend.
On the other hand, given how long it’s taken this post to attract even one
reply...

I enjoyed the Zoom meeting last year despite being in audio only (which
was probably a Good Thing from the viewpoint of everyone else). If it
is done that way again this year I would be pleased to join in, but
meeting in a London restaurant would not be feasible for me.

Sorry Martin. I appreciate your effort in keeping this going.

My appetite both for travel for social occasions, and for video-based
get-togethers, is rather low at the moment.
There will come a time... - as we have been saying for about 18 months
now.

real memory of a small party booking once a year early in November...
While not ever having been a major contributor to UKSM I would be keen to meet
up socially once again if possible!
It is clear though that many of the old team have not appeared recently!
