Is there any chance of adding one more to lunch at the Witchery on Saturday, and then Balmoral on Sunday?

I've been eating pizza and kebabs all month and I desperate for some decent food.


Hey Tony! Will put you on the list. [:)]

Thanks,

The Dean at my university is called Ed Byrne - somehow I don't think he's quite as funny as his namesake.

Hope everyone has fun up in Edinburgh!

Finally booked something at last. What's wrong with Angry for half three on Saturday. Feel happy now were doing at least one bit of culture whilst were here.

Are you not joining in on the battered Mars bar trip then? What with that, the Bolly bar and your Martin Wishart meal I think thats about enough culture for you for now [:D]

See you all tomorrow!

Thanks,

Thanks to all for a very good weekend and it was really nice catching up with you all!

Howard you are a very bad influence!

Just to echo Scorpio, thanks to all the 'chums' who made it such a fun weekend.


Buns

Later Update

Now home at 8pm - 6 hours door to door[:D]

At a rough guess Mrs Buns & I would have saved an hour to 90 minutes on travelling, but the wallet would have been dented on getting to the airport at EDI and getting home from LGW.

Thanks once again to everyone at this year's bash; it was fun meeting up and the memories of the weekend will be with us both for a long time to come[y][y]

We're both home now, and catching up on the Olympics!

What a great weekend again - looking forward to next year. I do think we should give the Balmoral some advance notice so they can at least get some Magnums in!

Think we'll fly next year...[:)]

Believe me, the way I've been feeling all day I'm not proud of such an achievement!

Thanks are due to those in the organisation department. It was great to meet up with old and new faces, but for future reference I will make a mental note not to find a new job the day before such an event, and thus will have less reason to become gutter material.

Cheers, Howard

I have had words and Bollinger is scheduled to ramp up production for our pending return.

We are home, too.

Great to see everyone again.

Richard - thanks for the hotel and the organisation.

Pete - thanks for the show. Looking forward to seeing Boys of the Empire in the West End.

Everyone else - thanks for your fantastic company once again.

It is a pity we weren't there longer, but we are up for a repeat performance next year - same hotel, but three nights so that we can see as many shows as Decker.

Got home at a very respectable time of quater to six, after waving Howard off on his LCY flight and getting our BHX one soon after.

A really enjoyable weekend, and after what seems like an age since our last V-Flyer do, it was great to see you all again and meet some new'uns. Good to know we can still party it up in the Bolly Bar [:D] too.

Thanks to Richard for getting the rate at the Balmoral, and thanks to Pete for hosting. Really enjoyed both your productions and I'm sure next year we'll see more overall.

See you all again soon!

my massive apologies for being unable to make today. PR people are, as usual, to blame. Hope to be at the next one

We had a fantastic time - good to see everyone again and some fantastic shows - in fact only one show we felt we had to walk out of (Bunny Galore to save y'all the pain). Non show highlights were Martin Wishart, the Witchery and evenings in the Bolly Bar.

Thanks to all the V-Flyers who made it such a good weekend!

I think we might need a bigger table (and cheese board) for Martin Wishart next year [:D]
