Dear all, To carry on tradition it has been proposed that the 5th Annual EU GTG take place in Malmö, Sweden on July 28th. The format for the evening will be as before - a meet and greet followed by a stroll to a local restaurant for dinner followed by after dinner cocktails in a location of your choice or return to the start location for drinks and music. Lady guests are more than welcome as are members from outside continental Europe. We will not be arranging accommodation but this thread will be updated with hotel recommendations with time, so stay tuned. Members that wish to make a long weekend (or more) will find plenty to do over including the "Scandinavian capital" - Copenhagen - just a 25 minute train ride away and very nice white fine sandy beaches nearby (make sure to check the water restistance on your gem first though). This is an opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones that is not to be missed. I for one have made some very good friends and acquaintances through these GTGs. I will be asking one thing of members that intend to take part and that is that we pay for dinner into a paypal account before the event to ensure that we can cover the costs of the restaurant in one bill. Dinner details can now be found below, I ask that those that wish to attend make themselves known here. From Stephane, FxrAndy, bionic tim and myself we look forward to yet another memorable evening and greeting old friends and making new ones. *We retain the right to vet new and unknown members who wish to attend, please dont take this the wrong way but a big part of this GTG will take place at a private venue* The dinner will be a "RWG special" 3 course menu at a nice restaurant for 440 SEK per person (about €50,5 at todays rate). This price will include two glasses of wine and coffee. The menu has not yet been set as the chefs will prepare something with the nicest available local ingredients of the season. Will know more about a week prior to the GTG and update this post accordingly.

Nope I don't live in New York nor USA but in The Netherlands, Europe. I'm traveling to New York at the end of April. I already spoke with @Mike on a bike to meet up with him and grab a drink. He said "let's do a small NY GTG". We planned this meeting Sunday the 1th of May. Other NY members who'd like to join us?

Always wanted to go to a get together with fellow watch minded people, so had an idea combine a get together with a great sporting event and entertainment. Liverpool Day at Aintree Racecourse brings city-inspired entertainment to the world's most famous racecourse. In addition to racing over the famous course in the John Smith's Foxhunter's Steeple Chase, the day also plays host to the feature race, the £150,000 Grade 1 Totesport Bowl. Off-course, entertainment line-ups have in past years included a parade of the city's sporting legends, a skydive by the Red Devils, celebrity openers in Ricky Tomlinson and Ken Dodd, as well as performances by The Farm and The Bootleg Beatles not to mention a whole host of Liverpool unsigned talent performing on the Pavilion stage. What's more, Liverpool Day 2012 on Thursday 12th April promises to be bigger and better with Liverpool Band 'The Christians' announced in the line up and they will perform, some of their hits (Forgotten Town, Born Again, Ideal World, Hooverville and Words and Father) this year after racing. Tickets are £23 from the racecourse itself. https://salesportal.....aspx?venue=AIN If you needed to stay over basic hotels start from £25 in liverpool city centre, of course after the races the city centre would be the place to go for a meal or for further drinks/entertainment. No need to pay upfront for race tickets as you can pay on entry, you can sort a room using laterooms or any other room search engine. National express are also offering Return coach travel from certain locations and event admission packages from the following link: http://www.nationale...d-National.aspx Happy to meet up with anyone who fancies a day at the races
