British Invasion 09!
Actually what do you call it in reverse?
Just an FYI, as it stands now I will be in the UK from April 29th to May 1st, mostly in the Yeovil and Bristol areas before flying to Italy. I will be in Italy from May 1st-5th, although there is some chance I will sneak off to southern France on May 2nd and 3rd! 
If you will be in the area, let me know!

Invasion in reverse? Outvasion?
I'd love to meet, sadly however my other half is visiting and I'll be tangled in her web of cooking, cleaning, carousing and undressing. Possibly not in that order!

Brits would probably call it Yankee (Yank?) invasion.

How about a lunchtime meet at The Sparkford Inn at Sparkford just outside Yeovil?

That "may" work depending upon the times of the meetings I am attending, whether they are breaking for lunch or bringing food in, etc. I do think that on the 29th my first meeting doesn't start until 1pm, but I may be grabbing an hour or two of sleep at the hotel prior after the flight, depends on whether my eyes are open or closed. Let me see if I can get a detailed meeting agenda and circle back.

Nick,
Ken Is Probably Staying South of Yeovil - (Evershot) Easier For You - As You Live South of The Area Too....?
And Easier For Ken. If You Look Around That Area for a 'Traditional' Venue?

Re: British Invasion 09!
I always like Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, it sticks to your ribs... 
We just got word this morning that the trip is now in a holding pattern while the executives on either side of the pond hash out some details. I'll post a go/no-go whenever I have the info.
