I would be up for that, but sadly I only fly in on Friday, was looking at doing a similar trip on the Monday or Tuesday after B2B.

Hi Crispin, unfortunately me & t'other half are off to San Diego on the Monday, so I think we'll need to do it on the Friday. Saturday is of course an option but I figured best not to do day long wine tasting the day before B2B!
Brilliant idea James [y]
Would be a very convivial way too spend the day. I seem to remember from last year that Chuck has a contact in Napa.

THINK we're getting a car to go up the St Helena Highway - Friday would def. work... (DON'T go Saturday, you won't get a look-in at the wineries...)
In years gone by, when various V-Flyers made their semi-annual trips out to Vegas, there was always a bit of planning going on on how to get LSoM and LRoM drunk enough so I could marry them.
Of course they had to ruin all the fun by actually getting married
So it's time to move on.
The big issue of course was always getting Richard to actually drink, our "new couple" have no such issues, so just in case we actually manage to get them to do it, a semi formal outfit may be needed by all.
Oh and let me be the first to say, it's going to happen Paul and Vic.

I'll give you a call Paul when I'm back in UK next weekend, maybe we can attempt a "plan" ;-)
Seeing Pete's Countdown Timer has brought home how soon B2B be upon us 
Are we going to use the event to raise money for a worthy cause??
If so, it would be good to start soon to gain the maximum benefit (with the London Marathon in a few weeks, many people would think I was doing the same

I could either do a central JustGiving.com page (I'm guessing everyone would be happy with Dreamflight?), or we could do separate ones. What does everyone think?
Pete
I would be happy with a central one, but in true V-Flyer tradition, I will go with the flow

I'll donate but would prefer to a central one. I have no objections to Dreamflight.
But to whichever charity/ies it is I would like to donation to be seen as from us collectivly rather than as individuals.
Huzzah for International Jet-setting !
Ok - once I have a list of the people who want to be part of a central JustGiving page, I'll set one up and create a (prominent) link from V-Flyer to it.
So (sing along with me now...) if you're going to San Francisco (/end of musical interlude) - can you let me know by PM whether you'd want to be in the JustGiving central pot (Andy, I'll assume you're a yes).

Can I get a quick show of hands as to who is confirmed for B2B, and who are still on the maybe list (if reward seats or sale fares make it possible)?
(Also, with the new site we also have a 'Groups' feature, and if you're thinking about going to B2B, then join that group on the site if for no other reason it gives me a reason to test those site features ;-)

A big yes
As some of you may know, mrs Buns is just getting over a knee operation, so whilst she will be part of the party, any suggestion of active involvement on the day is completely out of the question

There are some big strapping lads going so maybe they could carry Mrs B aloft on some sort of chaise longue as she waves to the crowds ...

Those 'big strapping lads' you talk of are currently considering whether to 'run' this in drag...

Nice thought
But I don't think we could stretch to the subsequent hospital bills The plan is that she can meet us at the Finish, with suitable stock replenishments
buns
Oh yes, I'll be there, not quite sure whether I'm going to run or party yet ...

Oh, the word 'run' was in quotes for a reason... I'm planning on a more civilised amble involving much merry-making and probably a fair few cocktails.

I never mentioned 'running' and I was being ironic in using 'big strapping lads'
I do however think that Mrs B deserves a chaise !

hi, can i ask what the B2B is, sounds like a race of some sort which forgive me for being a bit forward but if it seems like its right up my street..
