London Christmas GTG - 27th Nov 2010

Ladies and Gents,

Dan (Spuds) and I have been trying to organise a quick beer catchup in London and the only date that will suit both of us has turned out to be 27th November 2010 (yes, thats more than 2 months away from now - isnt he a busy boy), so we thought lets do another London GTG and would love fellow TRF members and their SO to join also.


How about making it a London Christmas 2010 GTG?





I have been chatting with Mike (MikeJaye) and he is keen also (dependig on the date/time).

So, the only thing we have "decided" so far is the date. Other details as follows (for now):


Date: 27th November 2010

Time: 5:30pm onwards (till the last tube/train of the night )

Nearest Tube/Overland: Liverpool Street Station (London, EC2M 7QH)

Venue: TBA

Confirmed attendee:

Dan (Spuds) + Mrs. Dan
Eric (esm) + Mrs. Eric


Please let us know if you are keen... just in case I need to book a table for dinner that evening.



PS - anyone interested in Christmas kringle (something small value, but fun)? thought that'd be cool, since it is a Christmas GTG....

Hopefully I'll make it along. Won't know if I'm free until nearer the time though. I'll keep a weather eye open on this thread.
Cheers

Hey guys, would love to come to the GTG but I fly out to Vegas that day, so no can do.

Maybe another time?

Also, I don't think many people check out this part of TRF so could explain the slow uptake. This is probably only the 3rd time vie check out this section.

Any thoughts on a venue yet Gent's only Mrs. Spuds & I're thinking of booking a hotel in town & would ideally quite like to stay close to the GTG... (so we don't have too fat to stagger afterwards....)
