Jump in a cab outside your hotel Raf' mate it's too much grief, stress and flaffing about on the tube.....

Unfortunately, and as already explained to Dan, I'm going to be away on a cruise at that time...... of all things ......

It's one of my folks big wedding anniversaries so the whole tribe are stowing away.....

But I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time and I'm looking forward to the photos and stories already ......

Never been to UK/London before, might be interesting ...

But as I dont own a Rolex yet, would you guys even let me sit at the table?
Maybe a meet like this would be the perfect occasion to buy one from another member, if I find the right model and all. Bust my cherry LOL

Been to a couple Forum Meets from a Bullion/Numismatic place, its quite intersting with all the different people, and you can perceive them differently in an online forum than in person IYKWIM ...

Will look out for a Brussels meet too, was actually just offered a job there and considering spending a year in Belgium ... mmmmh decisions decisions ...

I am near Brussels, if you are coming to Belgium, do contact me...
By the way, I had my first UK GTG last year. Was a bit worried at first, but I had a marvellous time. Wonderful guy there

This is lining up for one hell of a gtg as usual. It pains me to not be able to make it again this year..... August is right in the middle of a busy time for me here....Believe me if I was any closer I'd hop on a flight. Would be awesome to see you all.

That is a shame Dalip, but I understand how it is. I had my Australian plane ticket in hand, and then shattered my leg and had to cancel.

Chris- I know. We've missed you coming here. Hope your leg has healed perfectly... I don't remember the full news but then I'm getting old !

It really is such a shame. I had such an absolute blast with all you guys last time.

So sad to be missing yet another :(
