[Drakecula]

Thanks for an excellent evening. Was lovely chatting and meeting some new people. Will have to do it again soon!

Glad people had a good night and sad I couldn't get there.

 

[JessicaTam]

But there are no photos, so did the dinner actually happen?

[Ade]

Thanks to everyone who made it to the dinner last night. It was really fun to catch up with familiar faces and new faces

 

[Ade]

I thought about, but later forgot - it was a lively table with lot of chats about point earns, flying adventure stories etc etc - so the photo slipped my mind. Next time for sure

I did take one pic before everyone arrived … would this count?

 

[Daveller]

I was there, in the seat closest on the bottom left of the shot - happy now @JessicaTam? Although you'll be pleased to know that you were the subject of a few conversations, about attending F1 races, and your madcap effort to be on the last of the old QF9 and return on the new QF10.
