I think most people were fairly surprised at Brucie that evening - I'm not entirely sure what BA were thinking inviting him. Perhaps they should have spent the budget on better things?

I'll also be there on Tuesday, looking forward to providing feedback to Alex.

No need for singles ads any more surely; isn't that what Grindr is for?

Don't worry - I haven't been invited to anything since becoming LTGGL in 2014! I guess they work on the principle that if he's LTGGL he must be getting past his sell-by date (which I can't deny!!) and his annual BA expenditure is rapidly decreasing!

I've never had an invite to one of these things. I reckon it has something to do with not having a London post code.

I'd agree with that, I'm based in Cambridge and have never been invited either.

Despite living around the corner I've been overlooked for a few years now. Grumble grumble.

Still....there's better food in London!

*I may have put this event in my diary though

The OH and I have both been invited - we are looking forward to the event with our guests.

Sounds like it is turning into a mini BA FT Do.

I think we are more likely to see Alex Cruz than CWS

Likewise - 5mins walk from my home, and no invites at all!

Being only a lowly GCH, I am of course not invited.

My point of discussion would have been call centres; the desire to ensure that the service for BAEC members was not degraded by loss of staff (or staff motivation) from the UK based centres. My experience of the off shore centres has always been worse than from the staff based here in the UK. Any my pet hate is telephone queing systems, or being told to use the web service, when the inablity to solve my problem on-line is why I was calling in the first place.

I hope the event provides an effective means of getting feedback to BA management.

What even is smart business attire when its at home? I know some businesses where chinos and a shirt would more than count, but I'm sure others would tell me that I need a proper suit + tie...
