Hyatt London Do 2017 - Andaz Liverpool Street 3rd-5th November
We were surprised and delighted to be advised by American Express that they are willing to continue support of the London Do for the 6th year running, so I am happy to announce that booking is open for the 2017 London Do!
This year, the host hotel will be the Andaz Liverpool Street and, whilst there is a discounted group code available, you are also welcome to attend the event if staying on points or a different rate. Those who live locally are also welcome to attend parts of the event without staying in the hotel.
The Saturday night dinner (the part sponsored by AMEX) will once again raise money for HUSK Cambodia. Our target is $6400 - enough to build four new houses for families living on less than $40/month. Hopefully we can match last year's success and raise in excess of this.
More information here
Itinerary
Friday 3rd November
16:00 American Express focus group
18:30 Welcome reception, hosted by the Andaz (complimentary for those paying the group rate on Friday night)
Saturday 4th November
11:00 Room Escape game (£30pp)
14:30 Street Art walking tour (£20pp)
19:00 Reception and 3 course dinner in the Temple, sponsored by American Express
21:00 Charity auction
Sunday 5th November
Breakfast and depart at leisure

Great News
This is great news that the event is going ahead, Amex have been good sponsors and it's always good to meet up with so many frequent flyers and friends and learn new tips 😊

One of my favorite events! Thanks price123 for organizing. I am a maybe as of now but will try and rearrange to attend. Will contact you directly either way. What I like about this event it that AmEx has a focus group that helps them decide what kinds of offers trips our triggers and they listen. Plus, the auction event raises money for some really great causes. The auction item of The Barai by the way is AWESOME and I love love love it there! Maybe for those who don't attend you can offer a proxy bidder?

Thanks to AMEX for supporting the Hyatt London Do! I'm looking forward to sampling the Andaz this time around.
I won the suite at the Grand Hyatt Taipei in last year's Do. It's a fabulous prize in a great location in Taipei!

Our fourth time attending this event!
If your schedule permits, you should definitely plan to attend this event. The people who attend have become friends and we have traveled with some of them on different occasions to Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and China.
The American Express sponsored gala is not to be missed; other fun events are planned for the weekend. We also save some time to explore London and this location at the Andaz is great for doing this.
Thanks to Jenny and Andy Price for setting up this and other trips.

Hopefully this will work out. Whilst you won't be able to get to the hotel in time for the Friday activities, such as the Andaz reception, I'm sure lots of people will be up for an informal drink when you arrive, and you could attend all activities on the Saturday.

Agree that the BARAI is amazing - probably our favourite place in the world to relax. We may consider proxy bidding for those who have attended the event before.

Looking forward to seeing you again. Thanks to your glowing reviews of the GH Taipei, we now have 4 nights booked there in September. It wasn't a city high on our list of next places to visit, but you swayed us!
