The title says it all. We've had the LDS "early heads up" thread running for a while, but as we're only weeks away from the show, please use this thread for communications & news from now on.
So - who's coming? Please chime in (especially lurkers) so you can get in on the arrangements for forum members, & join in the fun. Forum members I'm aware are confirmed to date include: Larry, Grea, Duncan, Henri, David, Davo, Ben, Madge, Rafael. I know there are more, I just can't bring them to mind right now, so please chime in & register your interest!!!
Photo call - we're taking a forum member group photo on both days. I've looked up the performance times, & the best clear space I can find in the main stage program is 12:30PM. This may possibly clash with an interesting masterclass performance, but as the masterclass times aren't yet published, I've taken a guess on this. Because there's always some form of performance going on, what ever time we select, we're always likely to clash with something. So, meet up at the Guru stand (main foyer exhibition area) at 12:30PM, but please call past earlier in the day to confirm, as we may well find a more suitable time depending on any changes to performance running times/order (there's always last minute adjustments).
So, come on over, & get involved - especially lurkers! Come and meet the faces behind the avatars Not just the Brit members either. Grea is coming all the way from Australia, Larry from the USA, David from Germany, & others from mainland Europe too!
Social program - a number of members are staying in local hotels. We always go out for a few scoops & grub each night. Saturday night especially, as we start off with a hosted drinks session for exhibitors & performing artists, then go on from there. We also have a London sight seeing day arranged for the Monday after the show. Hosted by guest London guide Duncan, it's sure to be a great day of catching the major sights & no doubt some beers + drum talk. Details of these social activities, meet up times, etc, can all be found at the Guru stand.
Get involved!
