Given this date appears to be good for a lot of folk, I'm starting a new topic to act as the catchall for the various nuggets of info regarding the event.
I'll edit this topic as plans & people change, but for the time being the basic overview looks like this;
Afternoon: Pub meeting The Pheasant map
Early evening: Bowling at the Airport Bowlennium, Bath Rd, Hayes, Middlesex, UB3 5AL
Evening meal: back at Pheasant, since the guv'nor is a VS fan himself. Richard will be dispatched to barter sleep suits for beer...
During the afternoon, there'll be goodie bags & raffle prizes kindly donated by Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Travelstore (Shaun - there's a promise for you to live up to now) & the vast treasure chest of the Mannion Estate. I'll be throwing in an exclusive V-Flyer Gold luggage tag for all attendees to adore (and no doubt lose the first time it goes through LHR baggage handling...)
Pictures & details of the venues have been posted by Decker on page 3 of this thread.
For those staying overnight, the Ibis next to the Bowling Alley offers £45 per night rooms. Alternatively, if you're a Points Whore, (like Nick), Slough/Windsor Courtyard is about £49 per night (although someone ought to tell Nick Slough/Windsor is a fair distance from Heathrow, despite what the glossy literature says!)
The provisional attendee list at the moment is;

mcuth

buns4vs

onionz
Buffers (afternoon only)
chefknife
