Talking London Do 2016 October 27th-30th

I am super-excited to announce that the Hyatt London Do will once again take place from 27th-30th October 2016 - for the 5th year running (and the last year)! This is again thanks to American Express, who will be sponsoring the reception and dinner on the final night, and the Hyatt Churchill, which hosts the event. We will once again be raising money for HUSK Cambodia. Last year was a record year, raising over $5000 for the charity - let's try to do the same this year!

Draft itinerary below (subject to change)

Thursday 27th October
19:00 Champagne reception in the Library Suite, sponsored by The Churchill

Friday 28th October
Free day for sight-seeing, work, shopping
15:00 Afternoon tea with Hyatt Gold Passport
18:30 Private cinema screening (including a glass of champagne and popcorn) and dinner at a 5* hotel near Covent Garden - suggest Grand Budapest Hotel but open to suggestions. Ł65pp (possibly less, TBC)

Saturday 29th October
Activity TBC during the day e.g., tea tasting
15:00 Private whisky tasting at Cadenheads in Marylebone (Ł30, max 12 people)
19:00 Champagne reception in the Library Suite foyer, sponsored by AMEX
19:30 Gala dinner, sponsored by AMEX
21:30 Prize draw and charity auction

Sunday 30th October
Breakfast or brunch and fond farewells

Booking code is G-D2TF (input under group on Hyatt.com). For stays outside 27th-30th or to apply a suite upgrade certificate, please email the hotel
Ł290 single occupancy for a View room including full breakfast in the Montagu
Ł310 double occupancy as above

Earn up to 10,000 bonus points!
1000 bonus points for 1 night stay on group code
3000 bonus points for 2 night stay on group code
6000 bonus points for 3 night stay on group code
10,000 bonus points for 4 night stay on group code

In order to qualify for the prize draw, you need to spend 2 nights at the Churchill on the group code. In previous years, everyone entered into the draw won a prize. We aim for the same this year but cannot guarantee.

As with last year, we will also auction some items for HUSK Cambodia (credit cards accepted) - which items are prizes and which are auctioned will be announced on the night. If you wish to come to the event but not stay at the hotel, please let me know and I'll see which events have space

It would be great to see you both again. For shoulder nights or to use a suite upgrade, I think you need to email the hotel directly.

The plan is slowly coming together and I hope to have a firm itinerary and open registration next weekend. I have updated the itinerary as per current plan and will start posting details of some our amazing prizes.

If you are on the fence about coming, please note that this is the last year we will organise a 3-day London Do.

So, the first prize to be announced is sure to be popular. Remember, this may be auctioned on the night for HUSK Cambodia (so anyone can win) or used as a prize for someone staying 2 nights in the hotel.

Many thanks to Hyatt Gold Passport.

^^. Very generous of Hyatt! You've done a great job working with the various sponsors and other partners to source terrific prizes. The donation to HUSK is the icing on the cake. Looking forward to my 5th Hyatt London Do!

The next prize to announce is also a stunner!

Situated on a private island, just 55km north of the Equator and with stunning marine life, the Park Hyatt Maldives is the perfect spot to escape to, either for a few days of relaxation and recuperation or to spend quality time with loved ones. Don't miss the wonderful treatments of the spa or sundowners at the bar!

:-: 3 nights bed and breakfast in a Park Suite valid until 1st November 2017 (blackout 15th December-28th February) :-:
