Thanks for the update I got your mail, we will be bringing a lunchbox (as usual) and Im not sure about parking in that area, is it outside the ring of death (city toll fee thingy)

Not sure about parking, but the ring of death doesn't operate at the weekends (well, definitely not Sundays), so it's only local parking restrictions you'd need worry about.
To add, I am meeting dpdave and gloda a bit earlier for a pre-GTG. We were thinking about going to London Zoo at around 10:00 or 10:30. We'll walk/bus/taxi it to Warwick Road for 12:30. Anyone who wants to join us - just shout/PM me.
By way of warning, it is £16 pp entry and we would not be guaranteed re-entry after leaving (though it may be possible to arrange depending on how busy they are - I have checked). I expect that this price will probably put off the majority for a short, late afternoon visit (last entry 16:30, closes at 17:30) in any case.
I presume that there will be time for lunch (and a pint) at the pub? The light will be bad at that time of day, in any case...!
Good to hear things are taking shape. Matthew, I'll call you when I'm near the zoo. Looking forward to seeing you all.
I'll be there as well. I've sent Matthew my mobile number, (although it is long distance), or you can contact me at the Club Quarters, St. Pauls. I'm booked in from tomorrow night (Friday) until Monday morning.
See ya there

Oh, and Matt, you can put my percentage up to 98.35%....
Hope you like it - it worked well as a meeting point/ lunch stop when I did a similar GTG some time back - I nicked the idea from some folks who'd done similar GTG some time before that! Quite a quiet little pub which we all quite liked...
We may be able to join you later in the afternoon so keep your mobile on!
After over 3 hours of delays, because some muppet ran into and dented the original aircraft, I have made it here, and got checked in to the hotel. I think a good meal (The first of the day)and a wander around St. Pauls is in order....

hey Dave
welcome to blighty.... get used to the delays!!!
more bad luck for you as well.... St Pauls is having a bit of work done at the moment and has got scaffolding and builders everywhere. Not very photogenic!

Yeah, I got a few shots of the front, but a bit crowded, so hard to get a good angle. Might try in the evening if the crowds thin out
Is anybody in town up for the Tower and Bridge tomorrow?
Sorry guys and girls, I’m going to have to bail on the GTG. I’m sort of sad and pleased I’m off on a week away from work on the holiday isle of Majorca. I hope you’ll all post some shots of the day.

Enjoy Mallorca, Bob. It's one of my favorite places. If you've never been, the Cathedral is very nice, and the coast road up the West side is a very nice ride, especially if your ride a motorcycle.

Post some shots yourself...
Dave, thanks for the heads up on the Cathedral. I don't ride but we are going to hire a car. I post some pics when i get back.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out too (collect your winnings on that bet!). Haven't been online a lot recently and completely forgot it was this weekend till yesterday! I'm quite a bit into my student overdraft too so can't really afford it. Hope you all have a great time! This time next year I'll have (hopefully) graduated and will (hopefully) have a full time job to (hopefully) balance off the debt :P So I'll (hopefully) still be able to meet everyone - fingers crossed!
Matt & June, I'm glad I did actually get to meet you on home turf. Hope you have a great time in sunny Florida!
