FlyerTalk in London?

Cast your minds back to late December last year, GK sent out a wayward plea for a UK gathering. What happens? One January evening the Americans crash the party, outnumbering us Brits and Scots!

So what about a re-run for June, 5/6 months down the line. Anyone interested?

The last one was actually my first FT Gathering, and it was good to meet some of my fellow FT members.

By then I should have hit my 500th post and my 2nd Anniversary on the board.

Thanks,
Richard

Just like last time, I'll be the first to say I'm in (barring conflict in date of course), name the date/time ...

I think we would be well advised to avoid peak summer season though, which may force us into a fairly late date (the January event actually came together pretty quickly as I recall, maybe two months ...).

I think it would be nice to meet some fellow flyer talkers face to face over a beer. I will be in London, UK until June 23rd then I am off to Nagoya, Japan.

Make a date and I'll see if I can make it.

Same here. Kempis, what dates do you have in mind? What is your run itinerary?

I haven't been in London since early March, am not likely to have a business reason to return for quite a while, and need a fix! Dates?

Great idea.

Either the 8th/9th or 29th/30th are clear for me.

I'm following my national team to YVR and LAX/SFO on the weekends in between

Based on Aj's post..29th/30th of June would be best in my opinion, as a few of us europeans will be at the Chicago do in the early half of the month (and like me staying on in US for a week or so). Could also manage June 22 if that is any use, otherwise you shall just have to get drunk without me.

Count me in - June looks open for the moment, might be in Chicago for the FT do (but it's looking more and more unlikely due to work commitments), so this would be great.

Dates suggested by AJ and GK seem pretty good.

I'll be in London for U.S. Memorial Day w/e in May, the w/e before the Queen's Golden Jubilee. May 26-28 would work best for me.

FYI, June 29/30 might be difficult for some U.S. FlyerTalkers, as some may be going away for the Independance Day holiday and celebrations.

Hee, hee.

Question is do we want the Americans there or not?

If we don't I would go with Saturday 28th June!
