HKG DO? Expression of Interest

While I'm a bit new to the scene, but having been to DOs at SIN and TYO, I thought, how about HKG? As an ex-local, I can do most of the ground work and possibly lead a day trip or two as well.

As for dates, probably end of Q3 or start of Q4. It's just after the typhoon season, with the weather starting to cool down and less likely to be humid and/or raining. The Columbus Day weekend in mid Oct comes to mind as a possible date? (Not that HKG celebrates it).

Anyway, it's just an idea at this stage. Drop a post here if you would be interested in HKG, and if I get at least a few yes's, I'll put it into motion.

Sounds good to me. I have not been to HKG yet and would like to go with a DO group that knows the area.

HKG DO? Expression of Interest

I'll be in Asia in mid October and would consider attending this as my first DO if the dates were convenient.

So, count me as a maybe?

Colour me interested. HKG is not too hard to get to.

(Also add penegal to the interested list - who's sitting next to me at 35000 ft on AA64)

I would love to do a do in HKG but October is out of the question for me. However, if November ends up on the table, you can put me down as a solid maybe

Thanks, all. Looks like we've got enough people to get it going.

I originally mentioned Columbus Day in mid October, although it seems that a few would prefer November instead.

For those who said you're interested, would the weekend of 8-9 Nov be suitable?

Note that it's going to be either mid Oct or this new date - if we keep going date hunting, we'll never get there.
