Haha - I don't. I've just pressed the "Alert mods" button (as I've done now) when something has required attention. It usually works out rather well!

Let's use the wiki to vote for a date? A Saturday in October, say? What would be on the agenda – fruit salad and a choosing a date for a LHR QF lounge DO (although I don't think there is an opening date set for it)?

I think that it might be too short notice to get a big group outside of HEL (for a decent price and J upg available). Let's have the DO in HEL and then during the DO we will select the date and destination as we did last year....

Let's invite FinnairPlusRep then. I'll buy the drinks if she brings a nice points promo along. ;-)

On a more serious note, I am tempted by a oct meet-up but not sure I can fit it in. Will contemplate a bit and then possibly add me to the wiki.

Having a meet-up is always welcome. Last time I had too many salads as appetizers and you moved very quickly on the plans, so that I missed all the fun in LHR. Not that I´m likely to attend any flying DOs, because I am usually stuck with the kids during weekends. Still, meeting and watching you plan is always fun.

p.s. i am turning into a vegetarian, so a salad suits me well. =)

Award seats are the only decent option for me to be there for a saturday night in OCT. I could however do with a revenue flight this time, but they are 220€ and up unless I want to take early morning flights (no i dont).

I added friday 27 OCT to the list, as I will be in HEL anyway that night, but I think that is it for me.

To start iterating a place for the HEL meet-up I would remind you that the good old NF is on sale in the green-card-restaurants until the end of the year.

I guess there is no clear winner for the oct-festival in HEL?

Too bad the flights are too pricey for me - Clarion is offering 69€ today.
