I have added myself to the list again, but only as a ‘possible’ for now. I had moved an ‘at risk’ positioning flight to ARN from 28th to 25th September so couldn’t make the do. I have now moved the flight back to 28th.
Waiting for Mr WSM to get over (1) his disappointment that we are no longer having an extended pre-SIN ARN mini-break and (2) the inconvenience of having to cancel and re-book our LHR and ARN hotel stays and alter the parking booking once again - just so that he doesn't think it was only so that I can go to the ‘do’

Have moved to “possible” due to work commitments (
) and early start on Saturday for flight to JFK. That said, up for a CCR mini-do on Sat am if anyone around until 8.30am

My +1 has moved from a maybe to a definite - still can't update the wiki tho (soon i will have the power!) So if someone could do so, would be appreciated. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you all!

Still a maybe at this point - daughters birthday sorted - she’s in Romania !
Now all I have to do is cross my fingers that my pesky new ‘job’ that I invented earns me some spending units.
Is it OK to rock up on the night or do I have to confirm?

Looking forward to meeting many of you tomorrow night! I hope those who have confirmed can still make it and those on the 'maybe' list can be confirmed too!
Pergola Paddington is just behind Paddington station:
Simplest way to find it is to get to the Amphitheatre in Sheldon Square then walk around it - you can’t miss it at the end of the road with the big neon sign.
There is an a guest list under FLYERTALK', so arrive early and head straight to the front - please note, if they are really busy they sometimes hold people at the door so I recommend getting there early.
There are plenty of bars within the area of Pergola, as well as a few different cuisines for purchase including burgers, wings, sushi, poke bowls, wraps and dim sums...
I'll keep an eye on the forum / my DM's tomorrow in case anyone needs help!
See you there!

I will do some labels and take the names from the wiki, and you can add real names when you pick them up tomorrow. You aren't obliged to wear them if you don't want to!

I am on my way! I've flown from RDU-CLT and am currently at the CLT Admirals Club having a double Glenlivet before the 10:05 PM flight to LHR. And I'm happy to report my systemwide upgrades cleared for both flights ^
