I think the plan was for midday Chris....

That's what I'm aiming for anyway....Still doesn't feel real that I'll be in London soon. Too much work in the way for me to properly relish the idea

I thought it was that, just needed to double check - cheers Dalip

It's rapidly approaching, but a lot of things to sort out my end too - I'm going to be here, there, and everywhere the next few weeks!

The GMT Master · 14 June 2011, 09:32 PM

Trains booked!

dalip · 14 June 2011, 09:35 PM

Excellent Chris!! Hard to believe it was a year ago we were lining up our first meeting.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news Anders mate but with hotels (& now train tickets etc) all booked I think it's somewhat unlikely!

Getting closer! Looking forward to meeting you guys. Quick question - are we Minters meeting at the hotel and walking to the GTG en masse?

I think that is the plan, check in around 12, drop off the gear and meet in the bar for pre drinks and then get down to the boozer
