Venue
Shepherd Hall
St Thomas’ Hospital
Westminster Bridge Road
London SE1 7EH

6:30pm to late [hall open from 6]

Venue thanks to gav0106 and his team at St Thomas’ Hospital. For those of you who are new they are employed directly by the hospital and 100% of any profits we make from events and bar spend goes straight back to the Trust for projects involving patients and staff, so by supporting this event you will be giving back as well.

Hi All, sorry for delay in getting some more information, had a busy few days with Cancer Survivors Day and other big events.

For Friday:

Full bar available, we are suggesting - Wine/Beer/Cider/Fizz and Soft Drinks only as we set up the bars ad-hoc, unless anyone really wants spirits we can arrange this.
As always, we will have some great deals on wine and fizz ^

My wine supplier has kindly donated some wines for you all to sample and some tasting notes etc, including a well-known one world non-alcoholic fizz . Which we were the 1st to supply in UK for our oversea's visitors ^

A BBQ will be on hand, no set charge, other than we ask if you can donate Ł5 or as you feel to our in-house charity - Support GSTT. They do some amazing work, such as the Evelina Zip with London Fire Brigade which raised over Ł1.2 million for Evelina London Children's Hospital

The 2 hospitals we looks after - St Thomas' at Westminster and Guy's at London Bridge have both suffered in recent weeks with all the terrible events that went on. We look forward to hosting you, and to bring some normality back to the hospital and to celebrate and have fun.

Any questions, feel free to ask, and if you have any requests

Make sure you sign on on the night, as we have some gifts to give away.

I'm now a hopeful possible as things stand. Will confirm by midweek.

Will there be any forms of solids available to accompany the liquids?

Looking forward to it. I've added my name to the Wiki.

Gavin is going to give us an update later but the intention was to have food / a BBQ again if he can work his usual magic.

Sadly I'm now a definite "no" as I've just booked a flight to GLA. Wiki amended.

Have fun all. And for those hesitating who could make it, go for it - you'll be made very welcome.

Yes sorry meant to add that. Afraid we don't handle Amex, their fees were too high for the hospital to handle

Is there a raffle/auction at this Do?

I can't make it but if there are any prizes I'd be interested in buying tickets given the excellent cause where the money raised before went to. Hat tip to the organisers of this Do including gav0106 ^
