Hi all

Sorry for the delay in replying - leaving SkiAdcock hanging a bit.

As I've only got 2 nights in the 'dam I'm not sure I'm able to commit to either night at the moment, as there are a few evening meetings floating around that aren't yet confirmed. So, for me, I think it would be better to suggest that you guys and girls just put together a date, and if I can make it, I will

It may be better for me to have a rendezvous onsite - either for lunch or before evening "sessions" start.....?

Hopefully meet at least some of you there

Not at the show, but working in Amsterdam and living about 35 mins away I might drop by if workload allows.

Received this from BristolTraveller:

"Hello all,

Evenings are going to be tricky, I think. I go into IBC with the best intentions of keeping drinking dates with people, and then it all goes to pot (pun intended).

Saturday daytime is definitely out, as I'm tied up with conference sessions all day. So how are people looking for a lunch-time thing around the RAI on Friday, Sunday or Monday?"

I can do any of those days for lunch at the RAI. Others?

Cheers.

Got this from dondon:

"Lunch at IBC is always very complex but I'm in. Friday or Sunday for me."

Do we want to pick one? I'm leaning towards Sunday, but can do either.

Cheers.

I will indeed be going, as usual. Looking forward to the show.

Just upgraded myself from Y to C on LHR-AMS for £59, bargain for 40 tier points. Flight back seems to be completely rammed, probably because it's the last flight going back to LHR on the last day of the show.

Doubt I will be able to spare any time for lunch or dinner. After each day I am exhausted and just want to go back to my hotel and put my paws up!

For those who can make lunch at the convention center on Sunday, what time do we want to meet?

Also, which restaurant? I know there's a pub on-site & I think a couple of restaurants scattered about.

Weather is trending wet & chilly, so don't think we want to do the 'beach' one.

Cheers.

I am in Amsterdam Sep 6 ~ Sep 13. I may be able to free one or two nights for dinners/ drinks only.

I'm afraid I now have meetings across Sunday lunchtime. Apologies.

HCA Sep 9, 2011 12:57 am

Sunday lunch is possible, just PM me place/ time.

SkiAdcock Sep 9, 2011 4:31 am

How about meeting at the pub @ noon on Sunday? There are a # of small restaurants at the c.c., but think that's a main one or a restaurant is next to it. I've got from noon-1:45pm open, so can adjust lunchtime within that window.

Cheers.

I may need to steady my nerves after flying BRS-AMS on a KL F50. F50 FFS!

I very much doubt that you'll fly on a F50 ify you fly KL, KL retired them a year ago (or maybe even two years ago?)...

I'm afraid I really can't make the Sunday lunchtime - meetings across it. However, I am there as a punter, so if any of you guys and girls are there on stands, why not PM me, and I'll come and pay you a visit if that works....? Who knows, it might even work for business!!

PM sent. I'll be at show off/on each day; dif times. Provided my cell # to possibly meet up on show floor. Also gave you list of clients in case any fall into your area. Currently at hotel room sending out releases, but will be at show in an hour or so.

Cheers.

Good seeing BristolTraveller & meeting HCA at lunch today!

We hung a Flyertalk tag from the picture next to our table in case dondon came, but missed him if he was there.

Cheers.
