WikiFur!

I wanted to update the HantsFurs page on WikiFur and thought "Why not register for the site?". Which I promptly did and ended up creating a nifty little page for myself at User:SlyCat, and also I went on to create various other updates and things.  The London Furmeet page had the LondonFur meets as a regular event since 1997 which was incorrect.  There may have been sporadic events previously but the Londonfur meets only officially were every 3 weeks since 1999.  In fact, the whole entry for London Furmeet needs a complete overhaul to be honest...

Technically, Ia'Kat was the person who pretty much started the meets; he was the one who organised them. At first, there wasn't really any base. I think I went along to the 2nd or 3rd one, and that was just wandering around ending in St James' park. As it got toward Winter, and a few more people turned up, it began to drift toward the Intrepid Fox during the tail-end of the day. (There was one pub used before that though IIRC).

I think the first I went to was around mid-1998, given that I was still living in Crayford for the first one I went to, and I left that place in June 1998 to move to Sidcup. This would put the first LFM at about March/April 1998. They were admittedly a little more sporadic early on, of course.

You did also miss out the pub in Camden as well, of course; the Devonshire Arms, which was used for quite a while before moving onto the Jorene Celeste. :)

I didn't write the majority of that entry, just made a little tweak here and there. Like I say, when I have time, I'll probably go over it and completely re-write it. Sounds like I could use your knowledge to help fill in the gaps :)
