The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party

[Megatron1505]

Hey @Chris , I’m house trained and everything these days 

I don’t have any accommodation booked yet though, so we’ll probably end up with a hotel in Birmingham and commute in ‍️

@Signal11:

Hi Paula ( @Madame Buttonfly )
Are we allowed to bring our (small) dog to the party? 

Yep

@Chris:

It's not my call, but I'm sure your dog is better behaved than some of the guests. I'm not going to mention @Megatron1505 specifically, since that would be rude, but…

For sure

I hope we are going to see you again as well @Chris ?

[Chris]

I haven't worked out airfare yet, but I think I'll probably make it.  I do love visiting Gosport, the jewel of England's South Coast.

I've been standing on the edge for a while, wondering whether to take the plunge.  This morning I got an unexpected push (when I mentioned the UHHH to a friend who has no interest in this sort of thing), so I'm in.  I just hope this doesn't make anyone else want to climb straight out!

@ARNC

The thing is Iron Heart isn’t for everyone, which can be force upon like a Religion.

So climb over the edge….. 

[Giles]

@Kasi As per last night.  Look at trains into Portsmouth Harbour.  Much better than Southampton….

[Kasi]

Yep thanks
@Giles

Ah yes, the thriving metropolis with all its gyms and nail-studios. Great to hear you are coming too!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Have just been told about this local company - they have a number of great-looking places to rent in Gosport - definitely worth a look (and if you make an enquiry or a booking, please mention that you're coming for the Iron Heart party)

@Signal11 - apologies for the very late response.  Yes, I think there will be a number of canine guests, which will be lovely (provided they all get along!) 

The garden at the back of the offices is enclosed and pretty dog safe

Paula, thank you for this info. I just reserved The Granary. I mentioned the party, in the notes.

I will be cancelling my booking at the Spring Garden Apartments. But, I will hold on to it until someone who is planning to come claims it. I have it reserved through Booking.com, and it does require a 3 night minimum stay. Anyone looking for a place, who can meet the 3 night minimum, should PM me…**

[Madame Buttonfly]

@scooter - that's great, and kind of you to hold of the Spring Garden cancellation for now.  Will be fantastic to see you again x

@Madame:

Will be fantastic to see you again x

That feeling is most certainly mutual. September cannot come soon enough…

[Kasi]

6 months to go….

[Matt]

Ugh

[Matt]

OMG September is sooo far away.  I can’t stand it.  If only we had a buoy.  Something to aim for or hold us over until then.

I don’t know, something like a glimpse into what kind of anniversary swag we can look forward to? 

[Matt]

Something along the lines of an IHPT-2022 Gosport Invitational Go Kart Race design?

@Matt:

I don’t know, something like a glimpse into what kind of anniversary swag we can look forward to? 

14oz Ultra Heavy Flannel - a tribute to IHSH-01, the first shirt we ever made - but 14oz not a paltry 12…

IH/GAH something
T-shirts
Hopefully some super-special jeans
and other stuff we ain't thought of yet
