I will stick a map on the thread nearer the time although a few of us have been there before. Lets hope the rain stays away for a change.
You STAR Paul,you absolute STAR!!

Rest assured I'll be there for the duration matey.....

I'm planning to be there, although I need to come up with some ideas of what my partner can go and do with my daughters for a couple of hours whilst I check out the exhibition. Any suggestions? Is there much to do nearby?

It'd be good to see you fellas...

In which case, I'm definitely busy!!

My partner had already made plans for Sat AM so there's a chance I may not be able to make it, disappointingly. I'll keep going with the gentle influence, though

It's on...

Gents,

Bags are packed and we're headed your way! We plan to do the Friday night QP show then head out for cigars if anyone's interested. We will stop by the Phoenix saturday afternoon for a pint(s) and should be players for dinner as well.

Looking forward to seeing some old friends and making new ones!

My numbers are as follows Paul:

The Belgians - Geert, Nick, Tom
Me + 5

Total 9 including me. From the nine I'm waiting for one confirmation. I'd reserve for 16 if possible. Apologies for the growing numbers Paul, there is potentially another 4 people, but they may only be able to join us for a drink. At this rate, we'll be taking over the entire joint :-)

Hi Paul,

I was seriously hoping to make this bash but have been forced to fly out to Warsaw tonight for the weekend.......

Hope you all have a great time and I will make an extra effort to make the summer GTG.

Paul (Ayecarumba) and Geert - Sorry to have missed you on this visit.

PM if anyone will be at QP friday night or wants to join us at the cigar club after. Otherwise see you all SAT @ the Phoenix... wishing everyone safe travels!

Have a good time.
