I have added myself to the Wiki as a possible.

Hoping to call in for a few hours, then make my way to Gatwick airport (while Mr WSM drives straight to the Gatwick hotel with our luggage).

I'm now a firm yes for this and have booked into the HGI Hatton Cross. Won't be able to stay too late unfortunately as I'm heading to MUC first thing on Saturday.

Technically my first FT do, if you exclude the unofficial TLL and BA Sim outing, but looking forward to putting a few more faces to names!

I'll get names from the wiki. I'll need someone to deliver badges though, I won't be attending the drinks myself this year

Aha, sorry I had forgot you weren't able to come. In that case leave it to me, I can find some label to print them on and can bring them along.

Things have changed a bit and am staying in the Sheraton over the weekend so may be able to walk over and say Hi later but no drinking due to Shabbat.
