London gtg

Anything in the pipeline? If not do we have enough people here to make it happen?

A little disappointing really as you have had no one coming forward I do spend a lot of time in London.

With a few more interested I would be willing to partake in a London GTG

Thinking of a Waldorf visit or similar

I was wondering how many London dwellers there were on here, not too many by the looks of it ! Let’s hope for some more interest, thanks for the reply.

Only just seen this. I very rarely visit the Meeting Point, as do many others.

I maybe interested in getting together in central London but it would depend upon what you have in mind. If honest I also have little interest in Rolex watches nowadays, if it were themed towards that.

Well Rolex themselves seem to do very little other then Basel events which are then typically hosted by the AD’s.

Guess Salon QP would of been an ideal multi brand meet but then that’s been and gone plus was a little underwhelming!

The private event hosted by WOS and arranged by Kevin was good just not sure how often they’d happily do that considering none of us purchased anything! Mind you I did walk away knowing which ALS I would like to add but it’s a couple of years off.

To add I guess once Harrods refit is completed that would make a good meet point and cover most brands?

I would be keen and have 2-3 friends (not on this forum) that would also be very happy to come along. Might stick out a bit due to our age though :P

Well there seems to be a little more interest.

I would be only too pleased to put something together to accommodate all interested parties.

Please let me know or post any suitable dates, Plus ideas on a venue, I already had one venue in mind (The Waldorf) but this may not be to everyone's taste.


I await your replies...

I'm also easy regarding location if we can do it while I'm in town (see post 20 above). Bear in mind we have theatre most nights so it would be better for me if we could do something during the day (possibly lunch).
