              Hi all

              Yes, date for the main event is Saturday 11th July, and of course we'll be looking to make a full weekend of it especially with those of you coming in from further afield!  One of our biggest challenges as the numbers grow is finding decent accommodation locally.

              @Sam/IH the Marriott Portsmouth is a nice hotel but unfortunately not very well located.  It's in north Portsmouth, so a good drive from central Portsmouth and the ferry over to Gosport.  It's a bit closer to Gosport by road than central Portsmouth, but still a good 20 mins by car/taxi (longer in our frequent heavy traffic).

              I just booked some rooms at the closest place, the Spring Garden Lane Guest House just around the corner, if you want one of these please let me know as soon as possible (plus nights you need).

              Other places in Gosport all 1 to 3 miles good walk away, or a few mins by taxi (*good basic hotel, but taxi recommended as not a nice walk down main road with heavy traffic, **often get booked in advance on Saturdays because they are popular wedding venues)

              Premier Inn* http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/GOSFAR/gosport
              The Old Lodge** http://www.alverstokeoldlodge.co.uk/accomodation/
              The Anglesey Arms** http://www.angleseyhotel.co.uk
              The Alverbank** http://www.alverbankhotel.co.uk

              Other places in Portsmouth close to the historic Dockyard, shops and the ferry over to Gosport (travel time to Iron Heart about 20-30 mins total walk to ferry/ferry/walk or ferry Gosport side).

              Holiday Inn Express Gunwharf Quays http://www.holidayinn-expressportsmouth.co.uk
              The George http://www.thegeorgehotel.org.uk

              Hope this helps, early booking is recommended because - as I said above - we suffer from a lack of good guest accommodation in the area.  I have never stayed at any of the hotels listed, so can't vouch for their quality or comfort!  If you need any help with bookings please let me know.  I'll ask local friends to recommend other places, and some may even have a spare room they would be willing to offer.

                      Whoopee!  Jens is booked!  😘

                      Spring Garden guest house is now FULL (I am hoping she may be able to make some more rooms available but can't count on that so am looking at other options…)

                              I suspect @trail and arrow will have me on barkeep duty, Gav, as per last year 😛

                                        The guest house is already fairly booked up (probably for nearby wedding) so the five rooms available to us have gone to Ginger Magician, Trons, Twin, Rocket and T&A/Emil.  I need to find another good guest house within staggering distance!

                                          I have booked a room at the Premier Inn. I won't have a car, don't mind using Taxi's. Not to make a short story long, I'm not coming to Gosport for the hotel, so I will see you there.
