Aw thank you Yahillwe - that's so kind.
It was a true pleasure to meet you and wonderful to have such a lovely chat and hugs. I'm so glad I came along and I hope to see you again very soon. And a big thank you for the lovely champagne you treated us too.
It was also lovely to see some other new faces who I've not had the pleasure seeing before. Thank you for being so welcoming to me and I'm sorry I didn't spend more time with you all.
And thanks to Swanhunter for not keeping an eye on me!

Am glad that he didn't keep an eye on you, otherwise we would't have had the honor of meeting you. Glad that he shared you cutie. Very glad he wasn't selfish.
All of you are wonderful... Oxox to all.

Yes Hiddy especially one organized by LondonAndy... And make sure the RSVP list includes everyone and more....
But be careful (ok you and I don't have to) for the ones who are expecting

My sincere apologies for not making it tonight.
I've had the builders in this week fitting a bi-fold door to the back of the house, it was suposed to be completed yesterday and it's still not done and its left the back of the house a little unsecure so we can't leave the house unattended at the moment. Kirsty was going to be here but she got a promotion last week and had to attend a senior management meeting tonight.
I was really looking forward to it. SO next time I suppose I will have to caugh up a bottle of wine or four as an appology.
And i missed meeting sunrise girl, who I didn't quite see eye to eye with when I first joined here.
AND I missed out on Champers! grrrrrr Bloody builders!

Would have really loved to have attended this, but since I've moved to Sydney, it wasn't really on the cards!
It is really great to hear that it went well and, that it seems like there is such a good bunch of people on here ^.
I've never met anyone on FT but that is changing this month as I've arranged a rendezvous with a very special character from FT who is flying into Sydney as part of his RTW travels. Looking forward to it.

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me, as an AA-loyalist but always eager BA flyer, to the party tonight. Sorry I had to duck out earlier than hoped -- I enjoyed talking to those of you whom I met, and was sorry not to get to mingle more.
Sorry I missed the champagne and the nibbles -- I would've loved to have stayed and contributed!
But maybe we can have another get-together sometime soon on the other side of the pond? I'd be happy to try and plan something stateside, and get more AA and BA folk together, now the TATL JBA's really solidifying...

Ok, so although I had a good and productive dinner, my client is really going to get it in the neck now that I find that I have missed the opportunity of meeting the wonderful Sunrisegirl who is always so helpful (and now I hear cute as well
)

I'll just echo pretty much what has already been said - thanks to all who came along - great to meet you!
A special thanks to LondonAndy for organising, and to Yahillwe for the bubbly (I had a sneaking suspicion it was you but didn't get a chance to bring it up during the all-too-short time I was there before I had to run away to dinner).

A very enjoyable evening indeed, perfectly organised by LondonAndy, gently moderated by Swanhunter, wonderfully catered by Yahillwe, and greatly enhanced (in the non-BA sense 
) by sunrisegirl - thank you one and all ^^^
