Guys....

Bearing in mind how quickly things get booked up around Christmas I thought it might prove prudent to plan ahead.

Bearing in mind we'll all have family, friend & work commitments too I'm thinking maybe a Saturday in mid/late November or early December could prove favourite, & for 'user-friendliness' I personally favour The Dickens again but obviously I'd value everybodys input & opinions.

So........ thoughts please anyone??

spuds · 2 August 2011, 12:15 AM

I know & it still makes me want to cry!!

We'll leave it open for a while but 12th November/'earlier the better' looks favourite so far....

(& if we're lucky I reckon Eric & even Mark & Anders might just show their faces at this one!

Good news David: it'll be great to see you again!

phelix_da_kat · 2 August 2011, 03:02 AM

I would suggest earlier the better - as the office and "client" xmas parties are definitely in full swing by December.

EchoBlueUK · 2 August 2011, 07:30 AM

Great idea...Hoping to make this one!

good one

I will have to ask for a night off from the little one on the day me thinks.

Def taking my new EXPII White dial if I can make it

I think we had the drinks early in November last year, if I have remembered correctly...

Eric.

Mate.

Buddy.

Friend.

As a brow-beaten father of three teenagers I could give it "BillyBigSpuds" & advise you to 'put your foot down' & get all 'grrrrrr grrrrrr' about it but what I'm ACTUALLY going to tell you is the TRUTH.

Don't tell Sym' anything about it simply RUN out the door Saturday morning then go home to face the music on the Sunday!

Good idea mate. It's not the wifey I'm worrying about....

Just done my turn of feeding the little one. Off to bed now... Catch up again in a few hours...

thewatchguy93 · 2 August 2011, 06:13 PM

I'm up for all dates, but the earlier the better for me too!

BH13GMT · 2 August 2011, 06:46 PM

I am in, name the day. Pretty sure Mrs BH13 will provide an off base pass, or I will be going AWOL

I think this time I will get to town a few hours earlier and do the new Rolex store and the Burlington. I know some of us missed out on the Super Sunday on the last GTG and we are still kicking ourselves

Yup.

And we'll get another monster-brekkie in for a fiver that way too.

arttay10 · 2 August 2011, 11:18 PM

Thanks for the nudge Dan....

I should be able to make whatever date...

Xenophon · 3 August 2011, 04:04 AM

Count me in. At least I've got a few months to dream up a watertight excuse now

Is anyone thinking of staying at the Mint? I think I may...

I will if I can afford it Dino mate..... the price has ROCKETED since we stayed there I think?!

EDIT:

Just looked & it's nearly £200 for a night now!

It'd be cheaper for me to get a cab home!!!

spuds · 3 August 2011, 07:06 AM

Cheapest price I've found for The mint is £165.....

The Tower (right on Marble Quay & underneath Tower Bridge) is similar money & IMO an even better location.

Shall we commit to Saturday 12th November then chaps so we can get looking for hotels etc?

Oh lord! I'll be giving that one a miss!!

Thanks for looking and letting us know mate.

I'm all good for the 12th, I think earlier the better (12th) is seeming to be the favourate by most

Submariner G · 4 August 2011, 04:32 AM

Hello all,

I can make the 12th too, away the weekend before, good timing, thanks for the message Spuds, how are you?

Another London GTG, lets get it on!!!!!!!!

spuds · 4 August 2011, 07:35 AM

FANTASTIC!!!!

we're cooking with gas now so 12th November's confirmed!!!

I've also been looking at hotel prices & The Mint's rocketed so I'm going to stick my neck out & recommend 'The Tower' .....

(MID-POST UPDATE!)

In fact I've just BOOKED at The Tower & got a Double Deluxe room for £154.80 including vat (The Mint is now £230.40 for a standard double) & although there were a couple of 'agency/broker type' websites that offered the same price I've booked direct with the hotel at

http://www.guoman.com/hotels/united_...wer/index.html

They had cheaper/dearer rooms so I'm sure there'll be something to suit everyone's budget!

I'll also get hold of The Dickens Inn & see if I can grab us the same area.....

so all that leaves is food!

The Living Room again Gent's or do we fancy trying somewhere else??

Booked in at the Tower too ... Roll on November 12th 2011

Excellent!

I look forward to seeing you again David!

Incidentally The Dickens have confirmed we've got the same area of tables & chairs reserved again

so all we need to choose/book now is the evening meal......

Yup.

That's the right hotel/link but I paid at time of booking mate.

I'd guess that some other 'broker-type' websites allow you to pay on arrival but I don't know of any offhand.
