Another year, another hospital venue for the DO. I'm starting to notice a trend ;-)
Count me in plus my wife, the lovely Mrs. CasaDeTony.
Hopefully by then I'll be able to celebrate reaching BAEC Silver. That is, if my tier points run in the states goes accourding to plan (First on AA from SFO to LAX, for Ł60 and 60 TP).
Thanks for organizing!

Welcome to Flyertalk and the BA Board mariagri 
I see from your first post (Jan 16) you've never received an official welcome so apologies there on behalf of the Ambassadorial Team!
The Do's are a great way to meet other FTr's and certainly adds, for me anyhow, a very interesting extension to my social life meeting many folks from a whole range of backgrounds etc. There are links to the previous London Do's so that will give you a flavour what to expect.
I won't be able to make this one, at the moment anyhow for certain reasons, but I can assure you you'll have a nice time and all very normal folks!
I see you did join some time ago and you're a self confessed lurker and you may have read the BA Forum Dashboard. If not then it's certainly worth a trawl.
