Bumping this up, as I need to let Strada know roughly how many of us to expect.

Is anyone else likely to come who hasn't said so yet?

Excellent venue, excellent food, scintillating company ... so don't dilly dally!

Well, I'll probably be in England, and would have liked to come. But I shall be staying with friends in Worthing (yes, the infamous Nicholas Holbrook), and that is the likely date for the firework display that I put on each year, sending my Staggers and Speccie winnings up in smoke.

There's a rumour that John Whitworth will be there on the 27th...
But John and Brian would have been too much to hope for, methinks.

(Annual firework display, Brian? What fun. Can I offer my services as an unpaid waitress, or something, for next year?)

Darn, I wish I could be there, Jayne!

I'm not even sure I can get to England this year (usually an annual trip, as you know). If I do, I'll let you know. But early August is my only possible time.

If not then, I'm going to make every effort to be there around Christmas time if I can afford it!

Charlotte

By all means, especially if you have a good knowledge of first aid.

I will probably be there. Where exactly and when.

Charlotte,
I know this gathering is earlier than your usual summer visit to the UK, but I do hope we can get together again later on - either August or Christmas will be great!

Brian,
I do, and you're on

John,
Goody, hope you can be there. It's Saturday 27th June at 7pm, and the venue is the Italian restaurant Strada (next to the London Eye and the Royal Festival Hall).

Nicholas? Rob? Too many people to name... so please don't be offended if I haven't mentioned you specifically. You're just as welcome as anyone else!

Would you let me know some possible dates in August please, Gregory? It would be great to see you again, and maybe a few more Spherians will be on holiday in England by then. (It's Julie's fault this gathering's in June )
Early in the month might be OK for Charlotte, she said, so we have the beginnings of another summer get-together.

Let's make the next one a lunchtime meeting, so we can enjoy a walk or something afterwards...dare I say 'in the sunshine' or is that tempting Fate?

If August appeals to anyone else, I'd love to hear from you so I can start planning...

Jayne
