Hello again--you may or may not have responded to a chat topic on here, about meeting up in London sometime. I've got a list of at least a dozen people who expressed an interest in grabbing a glass of something one evening, possibly on the South Bank (hopefully when it's looking a bit warmer), either to have a 'rant' about changes on this website, or to chat about the voiceover world in general. I'm keeping an eye on railstrike dates at the moment, for those of us who'll be travelling in, but will throw out some possible dates asap. If you responded some weeks back, I have your email addresses. If anyone else wants to be notified, give me a toot.
Just in case you missed it.....or my email dived into your spam....I've now written to everyone who showed interest in a possible London meet up to talk about voiceover life, suggesting a couple of dates. Please come back to me asap with your thoughts! Jane x
LONDON VO MEET-UP...LAST CALL for Monday June 5th !!!!
Hello again, everyone. After a rush of replies from lots of people keen to meet up on the South Bank to have a chat about voiceover life......it looks as though Monday June 5th might work. If you'd like me to book somewhere from, say, about 5.30 pm, please let me know today or tomorrow. Best to email me please, on jane@voiceoverjane.co.uk . I think we'd need to have a minimum of, say 8 of us there and hopefully more. Thanks!
Hi Edward, OK, will keep your name on the list for any future meet ups.
Anyone else who's missed the message thread on this; in short, a group of former/present Mandy members are meeting at 5.30 pm in London this Monday, June 5th to have a chat about voiceover work and some of the challenges we've been facing on some websites. Interested? Email me asap at jane@voiceoverjane.co.uk
Hello all!
Sorry to have missed this! I hope it was a great success.
I wonder whether there's an appetite for a virtual meetup sometime? Travel is soooo expensive (and unreliable) at the mo!
Hi Chase, Andrew, Jacob and Makala, sorry that you missed the meet up this time and thanks for suggesting another one (real or virtual--I completely understand the issues involved if people aren't in London, Jacob, specially with strikes etc). It was a great night--seven of us on a sunny evening beside the Thames, with a drink or two, putting the (voiceover) world to rights. (And just having a great chat, to be honest...none of us had met each other before!!) Pic on my socials (IG janemcintyrevoiceover ; janemcintyre12 on Twitter). I think the pub worked reasonably well for people coming in via Waterloo and London Bridge and for those who'd been working in London during the day, or could get in by train from further afield as I did...luckily I was already booked into a hotel for the night) Anyway....if anyone else would like to repeat the exercise, or arrange another meet up in a while, shout, soon. I suspect quite a few of us won't be on Mandy for much longer because of all the issues. I have people's emails, stored safely in case we meet again. And I hope we do!! Have a lovely weekend, all!
Hi Jane, This thread just caught my attention. I'd love to join any get togethers that you are organising. I'm London based so meeting up would be easy for me with a little notice. I hope all is well in your world. Craig.
Hi all...thanks for your continuing posts on the meet up....if there's enough interest in a follow up, for those who made it, and those who couldn't, then shout asap. Although we have rail strikes to contend with, and some people away on holiday, it's always nice to make the most of a sunny evening. Before we know it....the nights will be drawing in again!! Maybe those chilly winter evenings are the time for an online chat, Richard and others? I feel I spend so much time sitting at a screen that it was just lovely to get out and meet everyone! Let me know your thoughts, either way x
For those London based or on the outskirts there is a VO get together along the Southbank on July 21st from 4pm. More details on the London VO Social Club page on Facebook . I shall be there all being well, it's always fun meet up
