The premise of this is that we're quite an insular board at times, so when I went off to the Boo Doo Too (in Barcelona) last year, quite a few people were asking me about where I had heard about it... so while I'm going to be duplicating the CommunityBuzz board a little, it will also help keep track of who is doing what where, so long as there is a demand for me summarising this stuff. If not, I'll let it drop. I'll concentrate primarily on UK and European dos, and also ones organised elsewhere by the BA board. I'll try and remember to include the big annual events, (Oz, Sin, PSP) but I may not be great at including those. And if any do organisers want to use this to promote their dos to the BA board, drop me a PM, and I'll add in the details. All dos are listed in date order - read up the threads and contact the organisers if you want to attend.
There is now a comprehensive thread in CommunityBuzz, attempting to pull together all dos with more than five participants... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=660468

Oz-fest 4 May 25th- 27th 2007

The annual Oz fest event this year moves to Melbourne, with it's usual organising committee and confusing thread structure, I still can't be bothered to read any further to find out what is planned. Still, sure to be plenty of alcohol and good eating involved, since this is an FT do in Australia....
