Hi Everyone

Is anyone going to Creme this year? I went years ago in my days of PA to a CEO but wanted to see if any of you have been in the recent years as a VA and what you got out of the day?

Hope you are all having a good day

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

I've booked a ticket but not sure which day to go yet. Thought I might see if and when anyone else on SVA is going and try and meet up.

Hi Charlotte,

Based in Wombourne, near Wolverhampton. Will have to catch the train down to London. Eeep!
Where will you be travelling from?

Was thinking possibly the Thursday? Would love to meet up.

Helen

oooooo, both Charlotte's on Thursday. I'm going to get confused :?
It will be great to meet you both, so I'm going to commit and say I'm going on the Thursday.

I don't know London at all - only been twice in the 5 years I've lived in England so am probably going to get totally lost!!

Totally open to suggestions on meeting place - shall we see if others are coming too and perhaps arrange to meet for lunch? I'm assuming there will be some sort of food served there?

Helen

p.s Lynn, isn't it open Tues, Wed, Thurs not Friday?

LOL! Yes plently of places to eat, although be warned when I was there last with another PA she got a worm in her salad!!!!!!!!! There are some nice places outside the venue. I'm used to London, used to commute for my sins.

Thurs it is then, will be lovely to meet you too. Lets see what everyone else wants to do and we can take it from there, or we can plan to meet say outside the venue at 12:30? Open to suggestions

Good point - I meant Wednesday or Thursday. Sorry for the confusion I have tonsillitis and conjunctivitis so feeling a bit off colour at present.

Last year I had a lovely meal in Pizza Express inside the venue.

Poor Lynn, hope you get better soon.
And try for the Thursday, it'll be me and two Charlottes!

Ok, no salad!!!
So if I get lost I'll be able to shout for help? You being the London expert and all!
Now that we've set a date let's see if anyone else volunteers to join us and I agree, open to suggestions...

I've registered and, as Thursday looks popular here, I will probably try and go that day. Just need to sort out the childcare.

I used to work just down from Olympia about 6 years ago or so. I remember there was a pizza express nearby and Kensington High Street isn't too far away.

Warning: don't forget that a single tube journey can now cost £4.00 (one way, shocking) and a single bus journey is £2.00 so if you haven't got an Oyster card try and get a London travelcard for the day, that should save you some money.

I can make Thursday too, see you there. I'm coming by train from Tamworth and will arrive at Euston at approximately 0830.

Hi All
I am also registered and as it looks like Thursday's the popular day, I would love to join you all there. I will be travelling in by train from Hemel Hempstead, so not far for me, and it would be great to meet up.

It looks like we are going to have to decide on a meeting place and a time. Also, what about us all wearing something we can all recognise such as the SVA business card in a conference badge holder?
