We always love Clyde's in Reston-we've had 2 great FT events there.
Great research you did Oz!

Put me down as a "maybe" for November, my schedule for that month is not yet set.
I expect to be in the DC area somewhere in the 17th to the 28th of October, so if a plan is in the works for October, I could probably work it out to attend a get-together between those dates.

pranu also agrees it is a very suitable place for a FT dinner and tells me parking will not be an issue in his experience.
And my contact person there seem pretty certain he can swing us a large table for Friday Nov 10 for about 8pm, so I suggest we lock this one in right now. ^
I'll contact Judd there to set it up.
Any more definites or maybes for that date please advise and I'll update you to the official milepost 515.

This is regarding the October HH.
El Boocho, chrisw, waterstrider - Would Say the Tuesday (17th) work for you?
That way we can have Global_Hi_Flyer attend - and perhaps the weekend Mileage Runners would be back to attend to?
Since you had confirmed earlier - let me know your choice and we can then perhaps shift it to either of those dates or else we keep it on the 15th.

Thanks Oz for taking care of the reservations - have updated the first post.
Also parking - all over reston town center - free parking garages - with normally more than enough parking even for a weekend evening.
Would definitely recommend the garage thats between New Dominion Parkway and Freedom Drive. The one next to the Hyatt (Entrance from Library St) tends to fill up early - and is smaller anyway.

For Oct, 15 or 17 works for me. I'm out of town for the Nov event and it is not to London, alas.
