Along the lines of booking a throwaway RFS, into the CCR at 11:00, out at 17:00 and jumping on the Tube/Hex to the Do venue proper ?

Just a thought...

Yup... I'm definitely up for that but would need guesting into CCR or make it GF and I can guest someone in! Well worth 4000 Avios and £17.50 :)

Not sure whether it breaches BA rules on lounge use tho ;)

Breaches the "taking the piss" rules :D

Esp. if 50 people show up on a bunch of dom or close short haul, then all cancel, but who knows ... maybe BA won't notice at all. I wonder how many would have to do this to raise a flag over and above usual and customary no show rates.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to gamble my CCR card and BAEC account on it.

I’m heading home to MAN that afternoon so may see you in the CCR if you’re on the afternoon flight.

I am on a 5pm ! would be great to see you and the lady?

It looks like a small CCR do, I better ask Pieto to get me a cabana!

Yeh... I agree. Perhaps it is not such a good idea. It is one thing for one person to do it to meet up with a friend as a one-off but completely another to have loads of us doing it and taking over the CCR or GF when we are not intending to fly.

Good point :(

4:30pm here. A late lunch will be had by all :)

What about actually flying a return RFS. 8000 Avios and £35. OK not as good as sitting in the CCR drinking LPGS (or whatever they are serving) but you would get a B2B to somewhere included... I am thinking Manchester (?).... and we could visit the lounge legitimately then.

Just thinking aloud!

Welcome to the newcomers who have joined since I last posted. Wiki is all updated now. Everyone is welcome!

I know it is a way off yet but any progress on venue? I have to overnight in London (coming up from Cornwall!) so the sooner I know where the sooner I can book accommodation. :)

Sorry for the silence on this. It's being worked on and hopefully details soon.

Afternoon all,

I'm pleased to announce the location of this year's FT Summer Party:

PERGOLA ON THE ROOF
Pergola Paddington, 5 Kingdom Street, Paddington Central, W2 6PY

With a magnum of LP Rose for only £170, and a coke for £2.50, there's something for everyone in the drinks department - and, for those that need to line their stomachs, the food choices are excellent too!

For more information you can check out the website here https://pergolalondon.com/pergola-paddington , or for the important bits, see the menus attached.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Updated wiki with venue address and moved myself from possible to confirmed. The Novotel across the road isn't too badly priced. Member rate for two nights was 330 euros.
