CITY/REGION: Oslo, Norway
MEETUP PLACE: Kafé Å, Nasjonalbiblioteket, Oslo
DATE & TIME: November 25th, 5pm
MEETUP PLAN: Signing postcards and chatting about Postcrossing
This date is still a month away, so hopefully it will be possible to have the meetup. We’ll have to keep an eye on the restrictions and see how things develop.
Welcome to the November meetup!
We will try again to have a meetup at the National Library. Fingers crossed that the security guard strike will be over soon. The Library is a short walk - 3 blocks - from Nationaltheatret train station. Use the exit in the corner of the Palace Gardens. They have a café upstairs with different types of tables. But more importantly they also have a shop downstairs where they sell lots and lots of cool postcards! Think vintage movie posters, vintage ads, portraits of Norwegian authors … ! When I visited they also had a whole bunch of black and white cards for free! These have different images of the Y building that you will all have heard about. Hopefully these will still be available when we meet.
The café has about the selection you’d expect. Hot and cold drinks, some warm meals like soup of the day, and some cold things to eat like sandwiches and cinnamon buns.
If you’re new, look for our sign with the Postcrossing logo which we’ll hopefully remember to put up at the table. Otherwise a bunch of postcards and pens and various supplies are usually a giveaway.
Bring postcards to write, to swap or to show off. Or just come and hang out with other Postcrossers. Welcome!
If you’re planning to attend, RSVP. I will book a table for us in advance.
We will have meetup cards, stickers and stamp available as usual.
There’ll probably be quite a bit of talk about the various future meetups we’re planning, but just so it’s said: anyone is free to come and go whenever they like, it’s not mandatory to stay for the whole meetup. And no problem if you show up late. Although then you will probably have a whole pile of stuff to sign dumped on you.
KAS: It’s your job to promote this on Facebook as usual.
