Hi everybody! Welcome to the International Londope II planning thread. Here’s the plan so far: Let’s all get together in a pub. In London. Sometime soon. I was thinking somewhere around the Paddington area, so some of the provincials can get home more easily and stay longer. Maybe around mid-July? Any thoughts, comments? Alex ---

I’m not coming. You’re all a bunch of bastards and I never want to see you again. ---

We weren’t going to invite you anyway. Nyah. ---

I am in Leeds for the weekend of 12th to the 15th, so that may not be ideal for me, other than that I am free every other weekend. It still seems a bit soon though. How about having one at the start of August? ---

Me three 🙂 It sounds like a good laugh… but will someone please explain the rules of Mornington Crescent to me? Please?🙂 ---

Well if you’re not going to invite me, I’M COMING ANYWAY. And I agree with Twisty - maybe the beginning of August? ---

I’ll be able to attend if John has forgotten by then how tough it is to look after a toddler single-handedly for the entire weekend. But probably not. We’re going to Dublin in late June and to the States for a month in late July, so I’m pretty much already at my maximum level for travelling. Have a wonderful time and take loads of pictures! ---

Count me in! Maybe this time I’ll get a B&B so I don’t have to run off so early. ---

Hey, Paddington is no easier for **this** provincial. But I’m not arguing, mind. Let’s do it. ---

hmmm, just thinking - if lots of people come down - we might be able to get a “group deal” at a hotel… :S ---

I’ll probably have to pass again as I’ll be in DC and then Leeds in early July, and then the football season starts up again. However, if we get a ridiculously easy Champions League qualifier in a city I can’t afford to travel to, I might be able to swing an August Londope. ---

mid July sounds good to me. I’ll keep my eye on this thread and let you know, but for now put me down as a tentative ‘Yes!’. ---

Sounds cool! Oh, and please make it first weekend in August if pos., as later on I’ll probably be away and unable to atttend. ---

The consensus seems to be tending toward early August at the moment. Hope that’s ok with you **Gartog**. Alex ---
