A PAX-Bash?
Following a silly remark of mine in JB, a fellow pax has said in PM, "So, why don't we have a PAX-bash?" 
I have not attended any bashes as I felt rather on the outside of things and the folks I read mostly are you lot. So I thought that I would raise the subject here first, rather than in the Bashes forum.
Is anybody interested in a bash that might have this sort of starting point ...
1) Set and Organised by SLF
2) The Mods get automatic invitation
3) Danny and Xenia (our Mod) get a free evening
4) All the rest have to be specifically invited
No, not really on that last one!
We might have a bash in the spring? In the middle of the old country? Perhaps Oxfordshire? I have NO IDEA where you lot hang out (other than TBS!).
So, what do you think of the idea, my fellow SLFers, would you like to meet and Bash each other??

P'raps if we organise it at a random time in a bar at Heathrow we'll already find that there are a good number of us scheduled to be there anyway!
- Seriously: sounds like a good idea depeding on time and place.

OK, I'll let this message hang around for a week or two and see what happens.

Luv to but as above my availability us usually about 48 hours notice max.
Have been thinking of putting 'A BR in town' flag up when I am in Madrid etc.
Would be a useful forum to introduce - a noticeboard for meeting up informally with other PPruners at various places...

Well, s.n. you might be right. If all of the SLFeffers meet up in the bar - we'll never get away on time! Perhaps we would need some experienced ground crew to round us up and check that we are still who we say we are, before booting us on to the A/c?
I must say that I was also very concerned to see that the Mods are sensing a good party and all trying to cram into F Class. PAXboy quickly realises his error and, doffing his cap, gives up his seat to PPRuNe Radar. 
There have been a couple of PMs that have expressed interest and the same as everyone else - availability. We could set a date three months hence and have no idea what numbers could be available when the time comes.
Continuning with thoughts but nothing firm as yet, I was thinking of a Friday night, so that folks might be able to tag it onto a trip. That is, if one is expecting a trip and knows the details of the Bash, then one might be able to arrange the trip to coincide? Or would a Saturday work? I know that telling families that one is going to be away for a Saturday night with a bunch of people one has never met, will be greeted with delight ...
I'll try and post in the Bashes Forum and invite crews to read this thread and see how many might like a chance of meeting yet more Paxers on their time off. Of course, with the high quality SLF that we are, I'm sure that they will be rushing to meet us or, to find the bar.

No need to give up a seat for PPRuNe Radar - he has sturdy legs well versed in the practice of keeping him upright.
Regarding venues, if you want to meet up at LHR, the Three Magpies pub on the Bath Road is reasonably convenient (and unsurprisingly well known to a substantial number of mods). Pubs will always be cheaper than hotel bars.

That's what I'm aiming for! I should like the chance to chat with some fellow slf-ers, not to mention our host and the mods who so kindly give them time to this forum.
I am trying to set up something for late May/early June and as central as I can but nothing is booked or set. Obviously, whatever date is chosen there will always be folks who will not be able to attend be it at long or short notice. Thanks for the interest.
