See you all this evening.

Suspect Clare and I will be too late for the Savoy, we may have a quick pint in the Chandos pre-dinner, if not see you at Browns

Good to meet you both. 

Thanks to Tom and Gemma for organising.

After leaving the bar / dance hall / sauna Clare and I went to get the taxi the hotel had paid for to put us in hotel number 2.  As we were both a bit tired and emotional by then we were not paying much attention so woke up this morning without the faintest idea where in London we were!

Attached is a link to some shots Annmarie took last night with a little camera - a little grainy but not bad to show the atmosphere at the Dinner

Ian and Annmarie

A really enjoyable evening, nice to meet Gemma and her family (hadn't appreciated that her dad was Old Bill !).
Many thanks to Tom and Gemma for setting this up - It was good to catch up with news etc.

I didn't take many photos as I only had my phone camera and it was quite difficult with the poor lighting etc.
Besides, Annmarie was doing a perfectly good job - I know when to quit!

Here's a couple I did take :-

1. Annmarie and Ian

What a weekend!

Many thanks to everyone for coming and (hopefully) enjoying themselves.  I thought Browns was pretty good in the end - the service was excellent and the food was decent; there was a nice relaxed 'atomosphere'  in the room too..

I had to slink off from Albannach at some ungodly hour - the previous three nights I'd been out rather caught up with me, probably helped by the bottle of Sambuca that Rich bought 

After getting back from the show after taking down the stand etc at midnight last night I think it's safe to say that I'm pretty broken today!!

Look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year

First of all, many thanks to Tom (& Gemma) for having the patience to organise the do. I thought it was tops, was good to meet up with some (now) old faces.

Secondly thanks to all of you who so kindly donated to my Movember efforts. The Mo(Fo) has come off today - phew - and just by looking (even more of) a prat for the month means I've raised over £1.200 to date. Sat night alone was almost 200 quid so thanks to everyone who donated, really appreciate it.

Cheers, Hedge

P.S. And no, Justin, no pic!

Good effort on the fund-raising Andrew ..
