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.

I am booked. I tried to book a BA flight across the ocean but couldn't make the schedule work so it's UA for me. Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Will make my way from Trump protest on to the main event of the day. Count me in. And I hope to be bringing my chum who is an 'industry insider' on [arguably, not BA's] hard product. Unclear if other half will join, but he has survived the Tallinn do so ice broken and all that. Wiki updated through this post.

And for those who didn't hear it the first time around, this Radio 4 programme is excruciatingly relevant. You might even meet some of the radio celebrities on the night...

Hey Tom. For fear of hijacking thread: the 'provisional plan' calls for meeting at BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place at 14:00 and marching to Trafalgar Square where there will be rally/speeches 17:00-19:00.
And, yes, there is a website...

Indeed you too big man. Do was mentioned to OH over toast this morning, not to much interest at this stage.
Haha. I'm going to resist the urge to compulsively check the wiki -- even though I am multi purposing this Do to be my own 'soft landing to Silver' party. The shame.
