So if you are already at the hotel, join us
Just seen this might have missed you in the hotel bar but I will pop in before heading to the pub.

Bonne Chance! ;-)
Does "packed" hint something about the location or the guests?

I am so sorry, I won't be able to make it tonight. I am feeling dreadful and can't keep any food down
I would be up for meeting some of you at a convenient time for a meal in Edinburgh when I'm well again if you are up for that?

If anyone is looking for me I'm at the painting as you go in immediately left or at the end of the bar area. Blue dress jacket. Glasses on head and bald!!!!

Seems there may be a few in so if you're reading this come say hello.

I unfortunately also have to duck out due to illness - gutted as I enjoyed last year's do a lot, and I even got a nice upgrade (single - double deluxe) at the Grosvenor despite the £62 rate!

Well, I'm home safe and sound. Sorry you couldn't make it Cymro and speedy recovery.

A really great night, good meal I thought with fantastic company and thanks to everyone for coming along. I appreciate for some of you it was a long way.

Quite alot of first timers at this one and I hope that has given you a flavour of what these Do's are about, the people that attend and hopefully see you at another one in the future

Calchas, don't worry, I really don't think you look 60

Thanks again folks and have a safe trip home tomorrow ^
