Im in, but is this a WATCH thing or just a general GTG.
Hi all,
After a chat with a couple of other members I've decided to try to organise a London GTG. I work in a central London Casino and I think it would be an ideal venue. Very good security, quiet and relaxed, close to the tube. I could organise a private space for us to chat and enjoy sharing our watches in a relaxed atmosphere. I could also provide some food and drinks at minimal cost but I'll have you decide if you want to.
I was thinking about the week before Xmas, perhaps the 23rd?
What do you all think?
I've never organised something like this so all advices and suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

Im in, but is this a WATCH thing or just a general GTG.
I’m up for that and having met the OP, it will be a blast!
For many (including me)the 23rd is too close the Christmas and many London based workers will have already begun their holidays.
December is full enough, no? Start of January though.... Definitely up for that.
Guys, it's completely up to you. Week before, January, anything. The casino is open anytime, I set up my own shifts and I just need to make a couple of phone calls.
The "venue" is pretty small, 5-10 people I can organise in minutes, anything over that might take me a couple of hours.
Just post you preferred week/day of the week and we take it from there, ok?
Shall I suggest January the 6th? Is Friday ok for most people?
Fair point. January the 5th?
I'd be interested. but central London is quite a big area and for those of us who don't live on the tube lines, it can be a bit of time to get from somewhere back to a mainline station.
Any more clues to the nearest tube to help with planning?

I'd be quite interested. Do we hand in our watch at the door and get £x,000 to blow?

If I'm in the country I will try to get along to that.

I am interested to come along
If I'm in town I'd like to attend.
I'm in if this is going ahead.
It should be. We'll sort out the details closer to the time.
I think I would be up for this in early Jan.
I'd be in mid-week early Jan...
I should be up for this. Sounds a jolly good hoot.
If I'm not working on whatever date is decided upon I could be interested in meeting a few others from here.
Count me in if I'm in town. If I am, I shouldn't be too far from the venue.
If I'm not working I'm in for an early midweeker in January
I would be interested as well. Early Jan midweek works well with me.

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

I'd be interested in this too .
Will this be spouse friendly or boys only ? 🤔😀
I'd be interested :)
Enthusing about watches isn't really a spectator sport is it?
Thread resurrection!!!
First of all let me explain why this never happened. We had a change of senior management and I wasn't sure if a GTG that did not involve any profit for the club would have been received positively. I was a bit on the cautious side. Anyhow, today one of you guys came to the club and I've told my director about my idea of organising a GTG for my fellows forum members. He thinks is a great idea. So, without further ado, I was thinking sometime midweek in June. The casino will be fairly quiet as it is ramadan.
We can have food + drinks at little to, hopefully, no cost. Gambling is not just not necessary but actively discouraged as I don't want anyone to think that I'm fishing for customers. If you are up for it please reply to this thread and I'll vet you and let you know the location. Needless to say that security and cameras are pretty much everywhere and the place is as safe as it can be.
Just to suggest a date, and if you have a better one in mind please do let me know, I'd say 20th of June.
Thank you all!
If I have meetings in London, I may be up for it…
It's absolutely ages since I made it to a GTG, so sign me up. Not that I have an especially interesting collection, but it's always fun to meet fellow-sufferers...
I'm down to go, I'd like to get out a bit more!
Put me down!
Brilliant. Bump for the GTG! The sorely missed burnsey66 should be able to join as well.
Me too if possible
