Pre-Do Lunch

For anyone interested in meeting up before the Do (or that cannot attend), we're thinking of having a lunch on Friday.

Interested in lunch

Location: Skylon (at the Royal Festival Hall), due to the small group I (Dylan) made a reservation.

I will most likely be in London and should be able to be there.
If the Vegas Do is still on (roughly a week later) I will try to make that one too.

They're pretty normal really - well, most.
Just bow now and again and you will be fine - oh and take your autograph book, they like that.
Looking to see if I can venture down

Unlikely to make it as I arrive into LHR at 22.00 that evening. If anyone is around for breakfast in GF the following morning, let me know

Put me down as a possible, at the moment I am doing early shifts on Friday and late on Saturday so I can come but I am at the mercy of the boss.

I am currently investigating the possibility to come, possible using a GUF1/joker and tack on a vacation somewhere in Europe.

So put down as a possible.

Would be fun, but I'm not sure I can make it. Will try to squeeze it into my schedule though.
