We will most likely be in London from 17th Feb to 22nd Feb. I'm up for one during that time frame.

Looking at May next year, I should be home for the last two weekends.....21st/22nd....and....28th/29th......so I am definitely up for a GTG either of those weekends (subject to domestic management approval of course)

Nope. I thought we had mentioned the end of May/early June. I will be in London May 26-31st and then back again on June 15-21st, and then flying back to the US. It doesn't look like that is going to work out after all.

Well Raf, if you can get over during that first window of time in May (26th-31st), we could do it ourselves and drink everything dry in London!
