Was it any good, many FTers there?
There is a report by Raffles but sadly he seems to now be part of the global Hillier conspiracy. I hate to think of Raffles having joined the dark legions so just hope BA had merely spiked his drink with some hallucinogenic compound.

I think Worcester was referring to the conspiracy pretending that James Hillier exists :-)

The chap with the 6 pack dressed as a fairy should have been a clue. Still slightly put out no one tried to hit on me...

I did go - it was fun with the bowling and all, but I agree that the price tag was very hefty for what we got - there was a buffet type arrangement for food, we had a different experience with the welcome cocktail - just the one and two drinks vouchers. I won one of the raffle prizes and am still waiting to hear from someone on how to claim. Not sure I would rush to pay the same amount for a similar set up.

Based on the review by Raffles - and also comments above by dp 1586 - it sounds like a perfectly pleasant evening. I’m really not sure it’s necessary to spend that much to go bowling, even with some light food & a couple of drinks thrown in. In terms of what happened on the night, the ‘connection’ to BAEC seems tenuous at best - although in fairness perhaps that’s how BA intend it to be.

I agree that the general lack of direct BA linkage was a bit odd, although I am not sure what else they could have done short of bringing along premium seats to try out.
