Indeed I did. But there were so many people with the same idea, very tiring!

Now at the Doubletree Kingston, very cozy and scored my second upgrade in a row (Last night at Doubletree Victoria we got a double upgrade from Queen to King Deluxe).

iPhone all rescued...don't ask! Certainly very fragile today. As always I enjoyed the night and meeting new/old faces. Great to chat to some of you. Thanks for organising and look forward to the next one! Maybe with less shots

Glad to hear it. Drinking with teledude should come with a health warning.

It was great meeting everyone last night... What a great group of people! I had so much fun and I think I have a few new friends... ) Thank you Gadget Girl for making me feel so welcome and to Teledude for organizing.

I think we officially closed (got kicked out of ...) three bars last night...

Until next time...

Teledude is dangerous...I was lucky to make it out with my phone intact. Dignity on the other hand...

I think some people are already starting to think that way. Hopefully somebody will confirm the dates.

Had a great time at the do. Thanks toteledude for organising and megaloman for the badges (though large print version next time please!). Great to meet some new faces and catch up with some friends. I may be slightly to blame for the shots as well as teledude. I made the mistake of reminding him of his Tallin Jaeger bombs which I think planted the seed of the Jaeger shots and then I mentioned Tequila.... You'll be pleased to know I paid the price the next day!

Thanks to @Gomac for taking me along to my first FT do, and lovely to meet @spotwelder, @howarsan and @GODatun, amongst others.
Already looking forward to the next meet up!

Welcome to the FlyerTalk website, circusflyer.

Rather unusual that I extend a welcome in person before I do so online.

Great evening

Great to meet up with some long time members after a few years. Nice to meet up with some of the more recent members too.

Until the next time, have many happy landings,

Spottie.
