Who's up for an open air pin meet on the day that the south part of the Queen Elizabeth Park opens to the public - Saturday 5th April 2014. Read more about QEOP here.
Rather than go to a specific venue, I was thinking that we could meet up at an agreed location (for example at the Orbit) and then find some benches or a patch of the park, and set out a few bags of pins.
I think we'd mainly trade between each other, but you never know, if there's some interest, we could think about going back a month later or so. As the park opens that day, there should be some good footfall and maybe some press interest.
So, who fancies coming along with their pins, a rug, some sandwiches and an umbrella (essential British travelling items).
I suggest we meet at 12pm at a location to be agreed and then take it from there.
Please 'sign-up' by way of a comment below and leave any suggestions as to where would be a good meeting point - easy to find but fairly specific please.
If we get enough people, then I'll post something here nearer the date with specifics.

Anyone have any ideas where to meet up? I was in the Park a fortnight ago and it looked as though there was still a fair bit of construction going on. I didn't go near the Orbit, but there's a cafe and outside tables in front of the velodrome that could be a possibility.
So I'm guessing it's not happening?
