The London DO 2016 - Friday 1st July
Ladies and gentlemen (and all others), it is with pleasure that I can reveal the date of the 2016 London DO: Friday 1st July 2016.
Please save the date for your diaries.
More information to be available soon / in due course. Regulars will recognise the venue ('if it ain't broke, don't fix') though given we've moved the date to earlier in the year again, we'll have outside space, fantastic views and a British Summer BBQ.
a few links to historic DO's if you haven't been and to wet your appetite:

Charity Auction @ The London DO 2015: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...h-october.html
The London DO 2013: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...june-sarf.html
A great TR from Stevieed on the London DO 2013: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...do-2013-a.html
as always, everyone very welcome - OneWorld friends, *A, SkyTeam (we don't judge), hotel runners, etc. - open to all on FT. Again, lurkers, first-timers, partners, spouses, etc also most welcome.
Young KARFA is in charge of the Wiki.
gav0106 is once again our most kind host.
Looking forward to seeing many old, young and new faces there.
Happy Flying.
