How many of us are in the UK?

24th in Nottingham. I'd be there.
I would suggest a start time of say 2pm. That would allow those of us that travel a good time to get there. We could then go on through the afternoon & evening.
Who would organise it in Nottingham?

I am London-based American and you guys sound fun. Have no problem showing my pride and joys wherever, whenever as long as Guinness is closeby.

An American with a taste for Guinness - don't let him get away, fellas!!

Welcome Steve. You make a good point....beer must be close to hand.

Guinness is beer, Tony?

Guinness is one of the many reasons why I could never move back and why many of my friends want to fly over for a visit!! A toast to the "toasters" my friends. Nuthin' else comes close.

Technically, it's stout Howard. I like it, along with Murphys & ANY real ale.....

I am a Guinness drinker too. The worst glass of it that I have ever had in my life was in a bar in Memphis. I was with Graham (8mileshigh), it was so bad that we couldn't drink it between us!

I managed to find a single bottle of Theakston's Old Peculier in a grubby motel in Milwaukee, once.

Philip, I could send you another bottle but I don't know how well it would travel.

Im ok for the 24th.

Went to see the UK SUBS last night. I went to reminisce as I used to be a big fan of them as a 14 year old. I saw them in 79 and now as a nearly 40 year old I went to see the same lineup play again 26 years on. My tired ears arent up to it now, and seeing Charlie Harper on stage as a 64 year old PUNK was surreal ! Anyway reason for mentioning was that Alvin Gibbs the bass player was playing a jetglo 4001, very nice but needed a bit more clank/top to cut through Nicky Garretts huge guitar sound. I should have asked him if he was available on the 24th July!
