As indicated in meeting propositions, we started in The Bridge Lounge. It's a small and quiet pub with friendly staff near the London Bridge. I met there with Tom and Christi and their charming girlfriends 15 minutes past 10 and the rest of guys appeared within the next hour or so. Unfortunately, due to unexpected illness and business trips, there were no Ricoh folks at this first RicohForum meeting. Next time, we should organize it in better part of the year, let's say in late spring or early summer
Fortunately, there was at least Mr. Frazer Allen (with son) from Alpha Digital Services, who is the main distributor of Ricoh cameras in the UK. Mr. Allen turned to be very friendly and communicative person with some interesting inside infos and a lot of nice ideas towards the RicohForum community. Our discussion should soon materialize into something real
After few hours of chatting and playing with all interesting cameras lying around the table (mainly with Tom's stunning Epson RD1), all participants were provided with Ricoh GR Digital pins, photo books and calendars (kindly provided by Ricoh). Then we walked along the Thames to the Borough Market. The weather was incredibly cold and windy, however (and against the forecast) no rain has fallen. A pure luck I would say
