London GTG - May 31st 2012 (response required)

Sorry for the delay in providing further details but work had raised its ugly head and one has to earn the pennies

I have now got confirmation for all three venues for the day. They are all within a five minute walk of each other. I will be providing the details to each of you by private mail, but for now I just wanted to say that the rough timings are:

Central London (West End) locations

First venue: Arrive 10-10:30am

Lunch: 1-2:30pm

Second venue: Arrive 2:30-3pm

For lunch I have organised a private dining room that seats 30-34 people. They will do a fixed three course meal for £30 and drinks would be extra. I have asked for the room to be reserved but I do need to confirm by Monday at the latest that I wish to use it, so could you please respond to this message with whether the lunch arrangements are acceptable (there are cheaper places to eat but this is private and we will all be together in one room). Please reply with either 'Yes' or 'No'. The restaurant will of course expect a minimum number so if we do not get at least 20 then I think we may lose the room anyway.

I have the following on the list for attending:

chronolust

eloise + 1

AlexSunrise + 1

The Aaron on the list is Aaron Becsei who I am glad can attend and he will be bringing some watches with him and will be happy to talk about his work and pieces. I am also hoping we may have some other industry people with us on the day.

As I mentioned, other details of venues will be provided by PM.

Regards.

Simon

Hi Simon, I am really p***ed off that I need to be away on business in that week. I am sure that it will be a very enjoyable and informative success. Nice people, sexy watches and cool watch makers. Next time. All the best, Antony

That is a shame...
