V-Flyer

Received my copy of this quarters Full Velocity magazine this morning, and inside is an invite to this years Annual Frequent Virgin (Holidays) party

21st August
at the De Vere Belfry Hotel, Wishaw, North Warwickshire

Worth us bookign en-masse and having a full table or two?

Thanks,
Richard

UPDATE: So far we have

RichardMannion (+ A College chick if I can find one....)
Buns + Mrs Buns
Bazz and Mrs Bazz
Pix - flying in for a guest appearance
JonBuck
mitchja

Think the list is right so far... (where's mcuth....)

I had a call from VH a few weeks ago about it, but I'm highly likely to be in Edinburgh for most of August. My theatrical side calls...

Pix

Is the invitation limited to Frequent Virgins? I have never used VS, so I don't think I am entitled to attend[:)]

Nick

Got my Full Velocity also.

Tickets are 40-live entertainment + finger buffet but black tie.

GO

So pix can't make it as he is up in EDI as he is so confident he is going to win the auction for dinner with TBS...

We must be able to get one table at least...

Thanks,
Richard

I would think that's very possible. I'm almost tempted to fly down especially.

Would VH let us book an entire table for VirginFlyer? 10 seats, right?

Err I think when I say Shaw and Mannion......

I think it was 10 or wsa it 12 - anyway - there are nearly 300 members here - we should easily fill a table or two.

I first met pix at last years birthday party for VH, and I think he will vouch for me saying that the prizes that were given away were quite good - there was at least one winner on every table!

Thanks,
Richard

Well, if we want a whole table, we'll have to get in quick. These things sell out fast.

Only problem is, VH are obviously restricting this to Frequent Virgins, so we'd need to find 10/12 FVs who would actually want to put up with me and thee gossiping all night.

If I can be guaranteed of winning the ticket for the Bahamas inaugral flight, I'll be there!

There were whole families there last time - I'm sure we could swing an entire table or two!

I'll phone on Tuesday. Oh theres always the 'contact' [:)]

Thanks,
Richard

Just received my Full Velcoity.

If you can squeeze a table count me in

Buns

(P.S. Mrs Buns would also be interested)

Not recieved my Full Velocity yet but it sounds like fun so count me in please [:)]

'fork buffet' it says in my copy of full velocity magazine an altogether posher affair. [:D][:D] I have 3 separate FV accounts if anyone needs a membership number to book, I am sure somebody can pass themself off as my 13 year old daughter .[:D]

Sorry didnt realise I was down for this I will be away somewhere hot and sunny I hope end of August.

I doubt I'm going to be up for this one, probably doing a week in Zante around that time, plus I've never used VH before [:D]

Cheers

Michael

Have you managed to speak to VH yet, Richard? Any updates for us?

Pix

Pix - you beet me to it. I was about to ask the very same. Finally received my Full Velocity this morning!!!

Anyone else thinking of staying overnight [?]

Regards

Hi all,

I've made this topic sticky as we are getting nearer the event (21st August).

I will stay overnight, Birkin is interested in coming but said she would give it up if there are more V-Flyers wanting to go than we have room for, good sort my missus [:X]

Richard, what's the score, can we have an update please?

add me to the list[;)] assuming we can squeeze a few non fv on a table!

Do you have to be a 'Frequent Virgin' for this party or what? If not, then I'm up for it (there's a bar, isn't there? [:D])

Cheers

Michael

Ditto Mcuth!

Err small confession, this has somehow fell off my radar due to my recent house move (understatement of stress).

If anyone has the number still (as I still have boxes everywhere) then I will call them and plead for a table.

Thanks,
Richard

We are real new to this site, and we were wondering how we get to join these clubs you all talk about and how we get to go to your meets etc

Welcome Dougie.

There are basically three different clubs we are talking about here.

The first, and most common, which I assume from your avatar, you are already a member of, is the Flying Club. This is for all VS Fliers, you can become a red member straight away to build up your points total - then, depending on how often you fly, can become a silver or gold member.

The second club, the subject of this thread, is Virgin Holidays - Frequent Virgins Club. This is only for people who have booked a number (3?) of holidays through Virgin Holidays. I have never used VH, so can't really comment on this one.

The third, and by far the most exclusive[;)] is the V-Flyer club. The good news is that by registering on the forums - you are a member and are welcome to join in on any of the activities that are organised.

So far that has been one afternoon of bowling, drinking and merry making at the Pheasant near to LHR. The next trip that is pencilled in is a river cruise, possibly Sept 25th, but this is still being formalised. See the developing thread for details of this one.

Please feel free to put yourself down for this, and any other V-Flyer function.

Nick
