the rules of coffee morning

There will be a likemind meeting in Oslo on 1st December. (Likemind is like coffee mornings except more branded and ripe for monetisation.) And Angela is keen to organise some getting together and chatting in LA. Anyone fancy helping her out? (hi Angela)

If it helps, I'll make up some rules of coffee morning:

1. Do talk about coffee morning

2. Say you're going to be somewhere at sometime (ie 11am at Breakfast Club) and turn up and sit there. Bring a book to read. If no-one else turns up that's fine, you've got a couple of hours of book reading. If someone does turn up. Hurrah!

3. Anyone can come.

4. No agenda. Just talk about whatever comes up.

5. Other beverages are allowed.

For likemind we have a two others:

1. Nametags: So people can start a conversation with a stranger more easily.
2. Pairs: Organize with someone else so if no one else is there you have someone to talk to. (Just like your book.)

Hey there...

This is interesting... something Glasgow needs to be part of too.

Hmm... the Coffee Merchant in the Merchant City would be an ideal venue.

Thanks for the inspiration

Hi Russel. Came to your coffee morning a few months back. Was thinking about doing one in Düsseldorf (where I am at the moment) but don't think it would work. However, Amsterdam is close and I'm there a lot.
So, readers of this post: anyone fancy a coffee morning in Amsterdam? Say Monday 4th of December?

Set this up to see if it was useful. It gives a space for online coefee mornings
