Giles's Kanreki Weekend - Gosport - 16th/17th September 2017

[spitfiredealer]

@Madame Buttonfly we are booked in to Holiday Inn Portsmouth for the Saturday

[Madame Buttonfly]

Yay @spitfiredealer - that's great.

Can't believe the time is going by so quickly, getting very excited about seeing everyone!

[ROman]

I'm looking forward to returning to Gosport, for this occasion. I arrive very early the 14th at Heathrow, and then staying at one of the Holiday Inns in Portsmouth.

Figured it was easier riding the ferry instead of waiting a cab.

??? Where did the time go? Suddenly the Kanreki weekend is just over 3 weeks away!  ???

IF ANYONE WHO IS COMING HAS NOT HAD AN EMAIL FROM ME, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH!

For those who'll be around on Friday night, hopefully you saw that we're not organising anything for dinner but we will meet up at The Victualler bar from 20:30.

I'll post a map later showing key locations.

For places to munch on Friday evening, there are loads of eateries across in Gunwharf Quays (Portsmouth), and a few places in Gosport - drop me an email if you want suggestions and/or want to know who will be in town that evening, so that you can group up.

More to follow soon…

And in any other news.  I have brought forward the release date of the IH-179 - Kanreki Shirt, to 11th September at 16:00 BST.  I thought we should get them out of the way or our guests would be spending the whole week end packing shirts….

I once had a mate who was working in the PO office of one of the big players in the record industry. And whenever there was something interesting to be sent out, he got some mail in the following days… 

[Giles]

A "mate" ???

i'm sure the guests wouldn't mind. just bring the beer and @Megatron1505 would do it for free

That is a very bad idea.

A drunken Megatron packing purchases is a recipe for disaster…

Map showing the key venues…

Victualler Bar - if driving there is parking right at the end of Weevil Lane (behind the marina area), if walking you can cut through Cooperage Green and then Flagstaff Green to reach the marina.

Iron Heart Offices, Units 20 and 21 Cooperage Green - immediately on your right as you drive or walk through the main entrance (from Weevil Lane) into Cooperage Green.

Spring Garden Guest House to IH office approx 5 minute walk, to Explosion Museum approx 10 to 15 minute walk up Weevil Lane, and across bridge.

Premier Inn Hotel to IH office suggest drive or cab (approx 5 mins) to Explosion Museum shuttle bus should take no more than 5 mins each way.

Only 3 more weeks to go.

Just booked a ticket back to the UK, and will be at the Kanreki.

Now I've got to figure out which shirts and jackets will be going to the swap meet. If you're an XXL, hit me up.

There's no room at the inn Spring Garden Guest House, but AirBnB has come through with a place that's just around the corner.
