Thanks to KARFA and TPRun for organising a really fun evening if not perfect weather. 😂
It was really nice to see quite a few familiar faces and also meet some great new people too.
Thanks also to everyone who attended and especially to Do first timers.
I hope to see as many as possible of you at the next Do!

Lovely to meet arsey00, marcolau317, neilyork, TomMM and really nice to see Wicked Stepmother, MarkedMan and lost_in_translation again.
Thanks to KARFA for his organisational efforts.
I did enjoy myself, though this morning I am in so much pain I can barely move.
FT Do's are always fun, but I'm afraid the venue was definitely not up to scratch for me. A large open plan bar with seating for 1000 people and standing space for more with thumpingly loud background sounds is not the right venue for FT.

Really nice to see so many of you again and meet some newbies too, nice to see the demographics of FT slowly changing!
Had some great conversations with newbies and great catch ups with old flyer friends and very much look forward to the next one
I'm glad many of you liked the location, the drink, the food & had a good time!
Very welcome! Yes, if it was 1 weekend ago we would have needed sunglasses instead of our coats!
Welcome - really nice to meet you! See you at the next one, if not before!
Thanks for the feedback. For me its down to different strokes for different folks. It’s not possible to identify one ‘right venue for FT’. This doesn’t exist: The FT universe is very diverse with male and female, old and young, fun and humdrum… with this in mind it’s sadly not possible to please everyone.
Some enjoy the more party atmosphere, some don’t. Some find the hospital location from last year quite mundane and clinical, some don’t.
The next location may be more appealing to you but not to others, I think it’s just the way these things work.

Many thanks to KARFA and TPRun for organising, and to Iain for being my valet. It was great to meet so many lovely new people and to see some familiar faces. Hope to see you all again soon!
