Chatting over coffee the other day, Mandy and I agreed it would be nice to meet other local people who are freelance or part-time workers or who work from home. We know how nice it is to speak to real people during the working day when you don't have a standard office set up and colleagues on hand to chat to.

So, we're both going to be in The Step on Friday 13 December between 1-2.30pm for a coffee, perhaps a spot of lunch and some socialising, and see what happens. 

We'd love you to join us! Really interested to find out what other people do, what skills they have, what projects they're working on and also just to meet people and make new friends and contacts. 

See you there? Mandy (fab freelance graphic designer) made this ace poster. If you can't make it but like the idea, please leave us a note below.

thank you for organising it Lindsey - great to meet such a variety of folk doing interesting jobs.

and The Step is FAB!  hope to make the next one. Dan :)

#FreelanceFriday works for me! Adding in @bowesandbounds would work too.

Thanks as well for organising it Lyndsey & Mandy. It was great to meet such a range of local people and meet those who contribute so much to this website. Sorry I had to rush off. Daniel

Great to meet you, Daniel, hope to see you at the next one. 

Please let me know about the next one, I am sometimes free on Friday at that time.

Will do Sue - will post about it on here. Probably mid-late Jan. 

Great idea, and sorry I couldn't make the first one - pre-Xmas rush! Looking forward to hearing when the next Freelance Friday will be held and hope to meet you then. Maria

Hi Lindsey, I am also in the position of trying to get a "sole trader" type freelance business off the ground, and would like to come to the next Freelance Friday. When do you have it planned for?

Hello Richard,

I came to the last get together - it was great! what kind of business are you setting up?  I'm a business coach assisting both start ups and established businesses based in Palmers Green/Southgate. Maybe see you at the next event or if you'd like to have a chat before then you can contact me via www.danmaier.co.uk

Great to see people are still interested in this idea - shall we try another one on the last Friday of the month - 31 January?

Does lunchtime suit people or would late afternoon be worth a go? A sort of 4pm end of the week get together? I don't mind either way. 

In the meantime, I'll set us up a group so interested people can swap info, contacts details, ideas etc online too. 

Hi - defo on for the 31st. Am still away, but will be back. Thanks for sorting. Lunch or 4pm good for me.

Me too. Afternoon sounds good to me.
