FilipinoUK Summer Fiesta Lunch - Earl's Court

[Doc Alan]

Meeting in person is a great idea Ricky. At this stage, as I'm doing last minute packing and checking in on line for tomorrow's flight to Philippines, all I can say is I support the idea I'm looking forward to meeting forum members living in Philippines When I was on committees in my work it was always difficult to persuade members to meet outside London. There was shock/horror when I suggested Scarborough So the problem's going to be agreeing on a venue. I hope your thread stays active and something is sorted
(Just as a footnote : it won't apply to me but if meetings include short presentations / talks it might even be possible to claim expenses! When I was last in the Far East my then-employer Glasgow University contributed to my expenses and the Scottish Tourist Board paid me a few Scottish pound notes to give talks about Scotland , both in Malaysia and Philippines!).
