Just you, me and Nick then Dave by the looks of it.0

I hope to be either at Museum or White Swan, but can't make promises as things are just now.1

I must pay more attention. I heard this as "this Tuesday" and realise now that it's next week (on 6th August as it says). Sadly, I will be in Scotland so will miss it. Good job I only live around the corner...3

Will also be there Ben2

Another four here. Is this being publicised anywhere other than Charlton Life?2
-
It's my birthday so ... as there's a pub involved I'll be coming, probably with my daughter2

I've asked the club to mention it too but with all the signings (six done but being kept secret) they are busy.3 - Sponsored links:

Assuming Charlton Live is back on the airwaves this week, could Louis give it a plug?Henry Irving said:

Would be great if @SE7Podcast and @LouisMend mention it on the wireless. You both have my phone numbers, guys.
Anyone who posts on lesser social media sites please cut and paste.0 -

Just an idea..
While the school holidays are on, could something like this be done in the daytime at the museum?
I'm sure a lot of the youngsters would be interested.0 -

I'll be coming straight from work - is there a chance to get some food?0
-
The pub does food but we're not laying anything on. Need to think about food for myself now you've mentioned it.0
-
I know of at least two from Dulwich Hamlet who are coming but as they have a home match that night, may only stay for the museum bit. From the feedback I’ve had on social media, I think we’ll have a decent turnout.0

Count me in1
-
A meeting tomorrow afternoon has now cancelled so I'll be there too!1
-
The more the merrier, please come along if you can. it should be a cracking evening.
I am talking on the immediate post war squad and their wartime experience and how the manager, on joining a higher league, built a team around local youngsters, experienced journeyman and loanees despite a tiny budget.
They had spirit, hard work, a never say die attitude which rubbed off on a growing passionate support, sound familiar?0 -
Hoping to have a relative of Geoff Reynolds present1
-
Sorry I can't be there. Hope there is a good write up and photos to follow.0
