Dear Colleague,
It’s party time! Come and wrap up the year with us.
Join us for a Winter Social on Tuesday 10 December from 6.30-9 pm at St Anne’s Church Hall, 55 Dean Street, Soho WID 6AF [Map]
We’re jointly hosting this event with the London Freelance branch so you can enjoy a buzzing party with other journos, photographers and union members in a vibrant West End venue.
In solidarity with striking journalists at the Guardian and Observer, we’ve invited their freelancers to join and update us on the planned strikes (Dec 4&5 and Dec 12&13). There’ll be vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, as well as a variety of soft and alcoholic drinks – and even some mulled wine to warm your cockles!
St Anne’s is fully accessible for wheelchair users. Let us know if you have any special requirements.
Members – please RSVP by 9 December at editor@londonfreelance.org , indicating which branch you belong to, so we can keep track of numbers for catering.
We look forward to seeing you!
Cheers,
London Magazine & London Freelance branches Team 🥂
