Mornin' Gents!!

After checking with a few o'the regulars it looks like this year's Summer Bash is gonna be Saturday 4th July with the usual (hungover-and-feeling-like-death) window-shopping and sight-seeing on Sunday 5th.

I'm suggesting the usual venues of The Dickens Inn, probably kicking off about 12.00/12.30 for the early-arrivers??

http://www.dickensinn.co.uk/

followed by dinner next door at The Mala

http://malarestaurant.com/

simply because we all know where they are but if anyone would prefer anywhere else for a change please do voice your opinions!!

Please add your name to the list if you'll be attending and I'll confirm numbers with the venues, but for now I believe those already confirmed are as follows:

Spuds/Dan
BH13GMT/Paul
Xenophon/Nathan (but only staying for two shandies then off home to bed! )
The GMT Master/Chris
TheWatchGuy93/Dino

Please add your name if you can make it...

The more the merrier as always!!

P.S. If everyone's happy with The Dickens I'll probably head up there on Easter Monday and pay the deposit/reserve our usual spot!

Count me in, mate. I'll see if I can stay for a ruby this time. It'll be good to catch up again.

steveclocks · 29 March 2015, 03:47 AM

can't confirm yet, but will do my very best to join in as usual

If there's no objections before Sunday I'll head up to The Dickens and The Mala on Monday and make the usual reservations....

DiamondJack · 31 March 2015, 07:34 AM

Have a good one chaps......

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be in the country to join you on this occasion. But hoping to catch up with some of you at the informal April gathering and, of course, Salon QP in November..........

Hi Dan, there's a pretty good chance I'll be in London for this weekend. I've tentatively been told to be there 5 July. If the date is firmed up in the coming weeks. I'll book an earlier flight getting there late 3, early 4 July. Speak soon Jules

Well I'll certainly see you at QP Steve, if not sometime beforehand.

SC11 · 3 April 2015, 06:20 AM

Guys I'm going to try my upmost to make this one but as we have a newborn in the house I won't be staying the Sat night just coming down for the day.

Right and this is someone who doesn't really frequent London so will train down from Bedford to St Pancras and then over to the venue on the tube any following a simlair route to maybe meet up with on the way in?

steveclocks · 3 April 2015, 11:31 PM

Just to remind you of what you missed last time, when I had train problems, my friend.
And Paul, I haven't forgotten the twenty quid I still owe you.
