Venue thanks to gav0106 and his team at St Thomas’ Hospital.

Food & Drink
There will be a sofa area and BBQ on the Terrace (as well as seating in the main room). details of food and drink to follow.
The hospital does take credit cards but not Amex due to the charges they impose.

Enjoy the Do everybody. Very jealous. Wasn’t going to be able to make it in any case, I have a poorly toddler at home so been cleaning up vomit most of the evening.
I’m looking forward to the next do in PHX!

Good Do gents. Genuinely stunned by the range and quality of food available on the house - and you won't find many other £3 beers near Waterloo. I popped a note in the pot and hope everyone else does the same.

My second Do. A really lovely evening at a stunning venue and great opportunity to see some familiar faces again and also to match up some familiar FlyerTalk names with their owners.

really excellent event - and great to meet a few of the regulars on here and a few new names too. My first "do" but not my last. thanks very much to chris and gavin (very best for your new challenges) for organising - and to everyone that I spoke to for making me feel welcome. wj

Lovely to meet you, and I think a change of user name is in order... I’m suggesting BeautifulStepMother.
