Bo,
Yes, those dates are solid. Reservations are set and deposits will be paid tomorrow [Friday]. My wife, mother in law, parents, niece, and 2 sisters will be on the trip as well. A TRF GTG will allow me [and wife] to get away and keep our sanity!
Really looking foward to meeting many of the great members here.

I guess when we get close we can come to a consensus on the date that works the best for everyone. I'll make sure to arrange my schedule to make it work. My family knows about the TRF GTG so they will accommodate.

Dan, are you any closer to firming up the day of the GTG ? We can all start arranging days off work etc if we know when to plan for.....still a way off I know, but it would be nice to get a day in the diary.
Really looking forward to it !

I'm open. I've made a list of those who said yes, maybe, possibly, or hope so. Not sure how to come to consensus on the date. However, I'll make sure to rearrange my schedule, while in London, to make it work. Anybody know of the best day in general?

Spot on RJ. It's a Jam/Kinks reference - I was listening to the song when I joined TRF.

26 pairs! Wow that must have been some design! Cool story

I was born in Suffolk England but left when I was one year old. I have always wanted to reurn to the place of my birth.

In the unlikely event that I can make it, can anybody put me up for a few days?
