Now that we have meetings planned for April (10th - John Lewis Oxford Street), May (19th - Railway Tavern) and June (16th - John Lewis, Stratford), I'm pleased to say that we now have a date for July.
I would therefore like to invite you to the July Unofficial London 2012 Pin Collectors Meet as follows...
Date : Saturday 21st July 2012
Time: 2:30pm - 5:00pm
Venue: The Railway Tavern, 131 Angel Lane, Stratford, E15 1DB.
I'm pleased to say that Jan has invited us back again for a pin meet on the final weekend before the Opening Ceremony. Not only that, but on the day the Olympic Torch Relay passes the pub - not once but twice! The torch is going to the Westfield shopping centre and passes the pub on both the way in and the way out. Looking at the timings, it seems that the relay will pass the pub before the pin meet is due to start, but seems like a good day to turn up early, get some refreshments and watch the torch go past.
So, as always, if you would like to come to the meet, please drop me an email to info@londonpins.co.uk. To those of you coming to the Games from abroad, why not join us if you're arriving in London early? It's a chance to catch up with some of the UK traders before the Games.
I hope to see as many of you there as possible and thank you once again to the Railway Tavern for allowing us to use the conservatory.

Many of us are hoping you will have a pin meeting place established somewhere near the Olympic Park...for some evening trading and talk about the day!
Added to above...starting around 24th of July through the games
The Coca Cola pin trading centre will be open by then
Please remember when posting comments to keep them polite and respectful of others. Everyone has their opinion, but please try to express those opinions without attacking anyone specific or by name. Thank you.
Sorry that I missed this comment or maybe not! With so many opinions by people with the same name its hard figure out who is who. Have a great pin meet people.
The two Coca Cola Pin Trading Centres on the Olympic Park will only be accessible to those with event tickets on any given day. Whilst I don't believe that there has yet been any confirmation of opening times, I really can’t see these two CCPTCs being in use before 27th July, the day of the Opening Ceremony. As the previous poster has suggested, though, the CCPTC in Hyde Park will probably be open by then, but this is quite some way from Stratford.
So, if a pin meeting place does need to be established somewhere near to the Olympic Park, then how about the Railway Taven?
Based on prior experience, you should establish a pin trading area outside the olympic park but at stratford. Perhaps they have a foodcourt in Westfield or a pub/restaurant proximate. The word will get around. I look forward to meeting you all. Thanks, Sid Marantz
