“ Please try and RSVP every for every event - Although we have been getting a lot of people at each Meetup, over half of those attending had not said that they were going to be there beforehand. When a newcomer joins the group and sees that only a handful of members are coming to the next Meetup, he or she probably won't think it is worth coming along. However, if he or she sees that lots of people have RSVP'd with a "Yes", then he or she will probably think it is also worth attending and before we know it we will have a twice as many people at German Meetup. Thanks in advance - Mike Starr - Organiser ”

“ Hugely enjoyable combined Meetup with over 30 people from various other London Language Meetup groups joining the Germans. Normally at Meetup we simply sit and chat, so it made a pleasant change to have a DJ with music and dancing as well. One of the hits of the night was the Safri Duo from Denmark. My thanks to Haitham from LOOM for suggesting this new, additional, once a month format. Very much looking forward to the next one ”

“ This is a great way of having fun and doing something at the same time and not only the typical drinking, talking meetup. I also liked the atmosphere of the club, like an old english club in a very poshy area, I wish I could afford to live there. And it is quite relaxing that there is no music to annoy you. ”
