Great! Some kind of regional get-together would be good, though we might need more than three or four people to make it worthwhile. I suppose somewhere near Dorking would be a fairly good central location for us all. I intend to go to the Brighton meeting on Tuesday so I'll see how that sort of thing pans out.
I'm near Guildford. Would be very interested in a meet up. Agreed though, it would be good if we can get more than 3 or 4 people together. However, I can vouch for at least couple more people I know who aren't on here that would be interested in attending.
I went to the Sussex group's meeting as planned last night and I thought it went exceptionally well, discussing why we were there, what our aims are and how we might achieve them. It set precisely the template I would want to emulate for the Surrey group.
At the moment, it looks like we'd have a maximum of seven or eight people if Chris's friends come along, which is probably just about enough to make it worthwhile. If everyone who has posted so far is still interested, I'll start to look into arranging a place and time when it's convenient for us all to meet.
I think it would be best to use the members' chat from here. I just have to work out how to use it...
If my maths is right, there were 13 of us, which I thought was a good number. I've got a group chat going so let's try to keep discussion on there from now on.
If any new members want to get involved but haven't got the hang of group chat, just register your interest here, say where you're based and I'll get you in.
Hello everyone. We are hoping to relocate to your sort of area soon. Somewhere between Dorking and Brighton or surrounds. Actively looking for somewhere to live! Hoping to be able to join up with you and /or Sussex group.
Can anyone please recommend a good dentist anywhere in London / Surrey ? Happy to travel for sanity. Had major run in with my own dentist (of 20 yrs) last week over masks!
Moronic dental Practice insisted I wore a mask to walk in to the dentist chair before he worked on my teeth. I tried to calmly point out the absurdity of this but to no avail. I left. Dentist himself appeared to have no problem - it was the Practice's 'LAWS' I was informed by the incredibly condescending and patronising Practice manager. Yes, this manager appears to think that his Practice passes LAWS!
Anyway, must find new dentist...... so any recommendations will be most gratefully received.
PS. We are still trying to find somewhere to live around Surrey / Sussex area - no joy so far, frustratingly!
Try Crossways, Old Coulsdon. Don't know about how strict they are. I didnt claim exemption, didnt know I could. I wrapped a scarf round me niqab style in reception. The dentist is good.
That seems to be a broken link, Jonathan. Are you interested in coming to the meeting at Box Hill on Sunday? You should find you've been added to the KBF group chat, where you'll find out more.
I'm not sure about that, it doesn't look like an anti-lockdown group to me, just anti-Tory. The Tooting Popular Front but in Haslemere. As it seems to be a fan club for The New European and the Guardian, my intuition tells me that their problem with Johnson & Co. is that they didn't lock us down sooner. They only criticism I can see there for Keir Starmer is that he wrote a column for the 'institutionally racist' Daily Mail...
Hi I'm in Guildford and would like to add my voice to the movement against the madness. I am not interested in 'why' the world has gone mad. There are so many different opinions that I think it is divisive. What I would like to see is the focus on ending the fear, and getting folk, one by one, to start actually seeing what is happening. The death rate in Sweden, the UK and Italy are between 0.057% and 0.061% of the population. These figures have been consistent since August 1st. After the lack of social distancing on the beaches, and at protests over the last 6 weeks, deaths from covid in the uk have dropped to single figures on some days. If this was really a deadly disease we would see so many more deaths. If anyone has been partaking in the eat out to help out you will see that the measures that are being taken to keep things virus free are completely laughable. If we're not seeing increases in hospital admissions and deaths by the end of this month we have to be able to convince folk that there is nothing to fear. Its a mild disease, that is just out there like many other mild diseases (unless you are life limited or unlucky) and it really, truly doesn't warrant the devastation the global hysteria has elicited. There is so much more to say.
Hi, there's a Surrey group meeting - I think this weekend. You could check KBF South and then KBF Surrey for more details... just realised, we're writing in the Surrey group - doh! It's probably best to check with Locksley.
Hi I live in the Cheam area not far from Croydon :)
Guildford here.

I plan to attend the meeting on Tuesday too

We should definitely arrange a meet up

I was considering heading to the Sussex group also. What was the turn out like, Locksley? Sounds good to me.

Hi Gery, you'll be more than welcome. I've added you to the group chat.
LONDON DENTISTS HELP SOUGHT

Okay, everyone, we have a provisional date and venue in mind. See the members' chat for the details.
I've just started a new meetup group @ https://www.meetup.com/Guildford-Resist-New-Normal-Meetup-Group/. If anyone is interested in getting this going, let me know and we can arrange the first meetup!
That seems to be a broken link, Jonathan. Are you interested in coming to the meeting at Box Hill on Sunday? You should find you've been added to the KBF group chat, where you'll find out more.
Meetup have refused my group because it did not meet their lousy guidelines, apparently. I sent them a reply with one word: cowardice.
Yes, I can come to Ryka's on Sunday, at 1pm. I'll be in the blue hyundai and will look out for the car with red wheels!
Had an idea re increasing numbers... wondered if you've checked out - https://www.facebook.com/PeoplesRepublicHaslemere

@Locksley Hi, are some of you meeting at rykas this weekend?what day and what time? thanks
Ah right, no problem. I can't say I've really checked that group out, so it's good to hear your review. Yes, perhaps best to steer clear!

Hello from a fellow Guildfordian
Hi, there's a Surrey group meeting - I think this weekend. You could check KBF South and then KBF Surrey for more details... just realised, we're writing in the Surrey group - doh! It's probably best to check with Locksley.
thanks. I'll be heading up to trafalgar sq on 29th. I saw rykas mentioned somewhere, but no time or day...
Hi, you should find you've been added to the Surrey group chat.
Good re 29th. It's still best to check with Locksley re details of the Surrey meet.
