Winsor and Newton factory tour meet-up! April 20, 2010 5:42 PM Subscribe
Meetup-with-an-ulterior-motive: Winsor and Newton factory tour in Middlesex, England, on May 4, 2010 -- anybody?
A colleague of mine recently did this tour (see here) and was over-the-top complimentary about it. Needless to say, I want to do it too! But they have a 12-person minimum before they will book a tour, and I'm just one person.
So, mefites, here's your chance to help me stack the deck -- by joining me on the Most Amazing Tour Ever (of a paint factory). Free stuff is involved. The catch? They only do tours on Tuesday, and I'm only in England on Tuesday, May 4. I checked, and there's currently no tour booked for that date, which means I need to scrounge some people.
I know, long shot, but I thought I'd try!

Count me as a tentative yes, assuming nothing weird comes up at work. What time of day is the tour?
For those Londoners considering it, the factory is on the Bakerloo line.

According to the agenda they sent me, the tour begins at 10am and ends around 1-1:30pm.

I'd love to go on the tour, but I have a stupid continent and ocean blocking the way. GRAR!

Hm, maybe I was overly optimistic in putting this in the meetup sidebar. It looks like with just two of us, there's no way it's a go.

I'd be up for it and could probably get hold of another person too - but doesn't make 12 of course. Sorry about that.

Hm, I am going to write to them and ask what happens if we have 4 or 5... maybe there are other people like me, with a small group interested (a girl can dream, right?), and we can join forces.
