This would be the only option for [currently skint] me. Just need to find who is charging less than IHG - all the usual sites are matching them up the last penny...

I'll try to be there but won't be able to confirm until much closer to the time.

Has a venue been selected yet? (Might influence which brand of hotel points I use, if any.)

Bugger!

20th December is the one night I can't make it (we fly off on holiday on the morning of the 20th).

Have a great time and toast a fond farewell to bmi or rather British Midland for me.

Nigel.

Just trying to get the venue sorted at the moment. The normal do venues won't let us reserve an area without taking a deposit and confirmed numbers.

I'm working on plan B as we speak and trying to pull in a favour through work. Hopefully I will hear back on Monday.

First post has been updated as we now have the venue sorted. If you can confirm if you are able to attend, then that would be marvellous.

Any questions or suggestions are very much welcome too.

Great venue, regularish haunt for me. Will be there later on as I will be travelling up from London.

Looking forward to seeing you all then

I'll be there if I can but I now have some difficulties with that date, so might not be able to make it.

Hope everyone enjoys the last BMI Manchester do, you should have a great night at Dukes92.

Just in case anyone is interested, there is another Manchester Do in March in case you get withdrawal symptoms. Would be great to see some of you there!

For the last of a trilogy of gatherings of FlyerTalk members remembering and celebrating British Midland International, join RAPC and other FlyerTalk members for drinks and a final toast to bmi.
