You know you want to

Despite the cold weather I could feel my ears burning and had an inkling that my name was being taken in vain.
Despite this I think I can make this Galah event having met a relative of the Royal Couple with CE during a recent visit to London :shock:

You're 48 hours early, but it will be good to see you.

 

[Viridianne]

My plane arrives at 8.20pm providing there's no delays. I'm guessing it'd take me an hour to get to the venue - please post an update if the gala has ended.

I suspect we will be the last to leave (expect us to be there there until 10:30 or 11:00 perhaps).

While I can't join the dinner I'll be in the CBD area Friday afternoon in case anyone is interested to have an early drink.

Looks like a really fab event. Shame I can't make it.
Somewhere down the track I'll have to have a private audience with the "Royal Couple"

Yes, definitely.

 

[Pushka]

HRH's - I must beg your forgiveness and humbly withdraw. There are other plans afoot it seems.

Table for 14 booked for 19:30 - YES they have a couple of decanters we can use - YES I note Bel Car no longer attending but her seat may well be filled by another non AFFer - YES I know I posted I would be enjoying pre-dinner be vies at Royce Hotel but that will no longer be happening - YES it appears that most if not all attendees will be BYOing reds - YES still total flexibility for more attendees just pls advise.

Remember 2 most important points:
1. Uber arrivees will be refused entry!
2. Pokemon GO players will be admitted but will then be summarily whipped with plaited barbed wire!

See you all tonight

Slight cellar malfunction.

The FoldPens I wanted to bring was too far back, so I have settled on an 06 Rocky and a 10 GB.

Hopefully they are adequate to get us past the garlic bread before we hit the Leconfield.
