I've been holding on to see what, if anything, LOCOG may be planning for next Wednesday (18th) to celebrate 100 days to go. At the pin meet in John Lewis on Tuesday we heard from a LOCOG person that there IS something planned although they could not share any details.
So at the moment, we don't know what, where, when or even if the general public will be able to join in.
I know a few people have planned to be free to come into London that day, so really this is a call to see who is planning what on the day?
I think my plans may be to hit St Pancras, Trafalgar Square and Westfield Stratford City (not necessarily in that order) to see what is happening. Of course if announcements are made on Tuesday evening or on the Wednesday morning news, then it could all change.
What are people planning to do? Anyone fancy gathering at some location and seeing if we can get some trading going?
Please feel free to post your ideas or plans here and let's see what we come up with.

The secrecy with all these type of events is really frustrating. Come on LOCOG, get your act together, and maybe people will turn up and participate!
A 100 DAYS IS NEARLY HERE,
WHAT WILL THE CELEBRATIONS BE ?
A CHEERING CROWD IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE,
A CHANCE TO WAVE A FLAG FOR ME ?
BUT NOT ALL THE LANDMARK DAYS HAVE BEEN,
TREATED WITH MUCH CARE OF WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN A CELEBRATION ABOUT,
MOST HAVE COME AND QUICKLY GONE AND HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN WITHOUT A DOUBT.
THE LONDON OLYMPICS IS FOR THE PEOPLE I THOUGHT,
WELL WE DID HAVE TO PAY A LOT.
COME ON GUYS, LET THE PARTY BEGIN
OR HAVE YOU STARTED TO LOSE THE PLOT ?
COME 100 DAYS, I WANT TO BE THERE,
AND WAVE MY FLAG WITH GLEE,
BUT WITH NO NEWS AS YET,
OF ANY OFFICIAL PARTY PLANS,
WILL THE CELEBRATIONS JUST BE ......
STRATFORD , THE RAILWAY TAVERN,
PAUL, SOME PIN HEADS
AND ME.?
A 100 DAYS DAYS IS NEARLY HERE,
THE GAMES ARE ABOUT TO START,
COME ON GUYS, WE WANT A CHANCE,
TO COME AND PLAY OUR PART.
If they can't be bothered to tell us what is going on, I can't be bothered to go
I've emailed the 2012 website to ask what events are planned, no reply as yet...... Perhaps I will get one Thursday
Paul, I have a Locog training that day so I will be in London, will be at Trafaglar square after, if I hear anything will let u know, but will probably see u there
I am going to Stratford on Wednesday so I do hope that there is something going on there :)
Im planning on being in London from about 10am on Wednesday would be great to catch up with some of those i have communicated with on London Pins
I want to be 1 of the first people to get my 100 Days to Go pin badge, so I will be at St Pancras tomorrow @ 7.30am :D
Bromleychick22 I am sure I am going to be the first one and can buy 100 Days to Go pin before anyone else.......
Bromleychick22 - how will I recognise you at St. Pancras tomorrow so I could show I was the first one to get my hands on 100 Days to Go pin.........
I'll be right at the doors as they open so I'm sure you won't miss me :)see ya there!!
See you guys there, I want to get mine bright and early. I believe there are only a few available so I want to make sure I get mine
I will be at St. Pancras at 7 am.....see you all there
I'll be in London, arriving about 10am, and doing the rounds of Trafalgar Square, JL Oxford Street, St Pancras and Westfield. Beats cycling to work in the rain! Hope to see some of you.
im beting they dont have the 100 day to go pins in stock tomorrow
I shall be wearing my 100 dtg pin tomorrow with pride i recieved my set of 3 pins in the post yesterday morning.
The On Line Olympic Shop has 100 days Pins..... which is a shock as usually they don't have any thing that up to date.
Not bad its only taken a few years to get its act together. Keep up the good work.... shame that I had to find my 100 days pins via that Glam Fairy that we all know well.
God Best the Glam Fairy I say !
Lack of communication is nothing new for the Olympic games. I'm from the US and I've been to 8 Olympics. Every one is the same, very little communication about upcoming events or celebrations. Seems like the newspaper on the morning of the event is the only place to find new announcements. I'll be in London for the games and hope to trade lots of pins with ya'll.
Guys and gals
Is there anyone who would buy me a Pin and then send it tome.I will send a cheque or paypal.The 2012 site wants £5for postage for a £7 Pin badge -scandalous!! Can anyone help please? I want the ordinary 100 day Pin. THANKS
Pinsandthings have the pin for £7 with FREE POSTAGE ...SORTED!
Yipee I got mine :) although it was extremely busy at St Pancras...Good luck to all of you that haven't got 1 yet!
