*Bump*

So how many are coming/might come, just so we can get an idea of numbers:

Definitely:
edsask + missus

Maybe:
windward + mrs - friday better than thurs. if the debate is still raging.

If we're talking about the end of next week I could do Thursday but not Friday.

I can do Friday, (sort of) bit of a problem there my welcome BBQ on the sunday (OH boss) has had to be moved from the sunday to the friday.

Cannot do thursday, I land thursday at 17.25 at YYZ, OH might be a bit miffed if the first place I wanted to head off to on landing was a BE meet up!

Have not seen each other for 2 months so I think he might have other plans for me....

I can do the following friday? 6th June??? Still hoping to meet the4bellslondon on the afternoon of the 29th May at around 2pm?

Sorry do add that to the mix......

My mum is here till June 15th. After that I will need a drink.

So Friday June 20th sounds just fine for a June meet. Unless I am working, probably, pah

Hi there. Am heading out to TO on 28th May (Landing!) Do you think having been in the country for all of 24 hours qualifies me to come to your meet-up?!!! Would be fab to meet some of you who have already been and done it. Anyonelse going who is/will be newly landed??? Where are all the venues you've suggested?? Sorry- babbling now - just rather excited as you can imagine!! :-)

Welcome aboard. We already have a token taffy, but one more won't hurt.

Iechyd Dda, Emma.

Scotland Yard is on the Esplanade, about 5 minutes walk from Union Station. Follow signs to Sony Centre for Performing Arts then turn right (downhill) to next road on left (before you get to railway bridge).

I'lltry and be there after dropping Jr off at Prom night. May have toleave early to collect again.

The meeting is hereby arranged at Scotland Yard for 30th May, from 7:00 pm onwards. Me and my wife will be there. I know some people can't make it then, but making it convenient for everyone would be impossible. Besides, there are (hopefully) going to be many more meet-ups in the future.

People who have been there before – whereabouts in the pub should we gather? Don't want to be accosting every person in the place …

I wouldn't worry, it's not that big and people from the internet are easily spotted, especially ones with pasty complexions and bad teeth.

Speak for yourself. I've got a pasty complexion but very nice teeth. They cost me enough.

on previous occasions the early arrivals have bagged the big table in the far right corner - but that may not be big enough if there's a lot of people.

I'm about 80% sure I'll be there.

Hmm.... I don't suppose anyone has a cell number they're willing to give out? I have visions of me sitting in a corner all night wondering who you all are!!! (Then I could surreptitiously send a text message if I'm stuck!!) Would be nice to know at least one of you by name first so that I have a focus!! Do you all already know each other?? What a stroke of luck that you're meeting 2 days after I arrive :-). Can't wait!!
