Re UTL drinks we currently have a date set (15 July) but no agreed
venue, warning to landlord / reserved table(s), time, method of
identifying who might be coming, how to spot fellow ulters etc etc.

Perhaps some decisions and communication might be in order?!!!?

Wasn't the Head Of Steam (or the Doric Arch - whatever it's called this
week?) at Euston, the location of choice?

I thought that also.

I might offer Mr Wetherspoon's offering at the Metropolitan Bar at Baker
Street as a backup.

I wonder if a closer backup might be better.

There's a place called the Exmouth Arms tucked away behind Euston. It's a
decent, normal pub, and virtually never busy, even on friday evenings.

The UTL Drinks Project :-)

See.. you didn't need us at all!

No, no, no, Paul's just the programme manager. He's going to put out a
request for tenders, which we can respond to, then award a concession to
one of us to organise and operate the meet. The concessionaire will
sub-contract location selection, table reservation, communication etc to
partners, subject to EU fast-track bidding regulations, and manage the
consortium's delivery schedule, which will have to be approved by the
programme manager, who is in turn reporting to the UTL Board.

This is all assuming the unions agree to it, of course.
