THE SINDY SET MEETS... ... was meant to take place on Saturday 30th September, but a national train strike put a stop to that. So we quickly rescheduled the meet-up for Saturday 21st October. Not quite in Sindy’s 60th anniversary month, but close enough. The venue was the same as the June meet-up - The Phoenix Pub in Victoria, London - and again hosted from 11am-5pm. This gave ample time for everyone to arrive, have a coffee and settle in. We had some returning guests who had attended the previous ‘The Sindy Set Meets’ - and a lot of new faces. It’s a great opportunity to meet IRL and make some new Sindy friends. Although unfortunately, due to floods and illness, a few guests arrived late, or not at all. They were greatly missed. This autumn event was very wet, so we didn’t sit in the terrace area all day - we used this for the sales tables and photo area. The photo area was designed and made again by Matthew @dollsabouttown. He went all out with a stunning felt red carpet set complete with camera crew, paparazzi, bodyguards, lighting and stanchions. The VIDs (very important dolls) area was busy all day and proved very popular. We did however sit in the terrace area for the morning session, which was a talk by our special guest speaker, author Colette Mansell (more on that later). We then had some lunch and played some Sindy games, did some shopping and held a raffle in the afternoon. Fancy a peek?
