[Giles]

@AdamJ:

if you need Thursday night dinner recommendations in Portsmouth ask @AdamC who has been to every one that exists 

And bumped into you and your secret bride in more than one of them ?

@Chap:

I will (should  ::)) be at LHR T5 on Thursday the 8th at 1300 and have someone bringing me down to Gosport. Back to LHR on Sunday to be collected in Gosport 0630.

Hope there will be already someone else around on Thursday to have dinner together? I otherwise will have to see what @Giles got in the fridge 

Johnny and I will be in gosport by Thursday late arvo. feel free to hit us up.

@Chap:

we shouldn’t do sirtaki in one of the pubs the locals might find it irritating

or we try something like this to integrate better into the local pub scene

Better not, don't want to have a look at trauma unit in Gosport Hospital

Great… looks like there will be a nice group. Ferry to Portsmouth? Any recommandations for us @AdamC ? Doesn't have to be greek  I will be happy with some nice Fish 'n' Chips and an Ale as well

The Trauma Hospital in Gosport closed down about 15 years ago…..

Which all people on Gosport were and still are mortified about.

Now the nearest hospital is about 15 miles away.....

[Matt]

We’re all going to have to be very careful.

@Giles

Any halal’s food in Gosport.

[Giles]

[Kasi]

If there isn’t any.

Otherwise for me vegetarian food Unfortunately

But then again found Istanbul Grill..

@Jett129:

Hopefully there will, at some point ,be some live streaming for those of us that can’t make it.

Hey Jett - we tried that before and it was quite unsuccessful. Not to say that we can't try again, but it's quite hard to capture the event well whilst its all spread out around multiple buildings and gardens.

.    Maybe a thread where people can post pictures and short videos would be cool.

[Giles]

That is what this is for, is it not?

Plenty of Halal food in Gosport, but you're a vegetarian for Saturday mate

[Kasi]

Am all cool with that for Saturday

Thanks ️
@Alex
By the way non alcohol beers for me

[AdamC]

@Chap the pressure is on me now.  If you are looking for some fish and chips and some ale then maybe either the Still and West or The Bridge Tavern, both are walking distance from the ferry.  One is a pub overlooking the solent and the other a pub overlooking the docks.

Fishermans Kitchen is meant to be unreal fish and chips but i have never been and a bit further away. Apart from that, Agora for a decent Turkish, El toro for some nice steak, or Briny for some seafront views and fish.

Too many times for my liking, he followed me again on Thursday!

@Matt:

I don’t think I’ll be any hep to anyone.  We’re getting into Gatwick on Wed morning and taking the train to the ferry. Unless we missed something it seems pretty straightforward.  The real question is when shall I be welcome at HQ?

@Matt - yes, the journey from Gatwick should be very straightforward, Giles will drop you a DM.

Lots of folk are arriving on Thursday, so hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities for groups to get together for drinks/dinner.  Giles and I can't get involved in any plans on Thursday as Haraki san, Tom, Sarina and Yasuda will arrive late afternoon.  We're very excited to see everyone on Friday 9th (just 8 more sleeps  :D)

[Kasi]

Luckily could have been a disaster  :o for me the rail strike aren’t happening the days am travelling..  ::)

[goosehd]

@Kasi Couldn’t you just drive down in case of a shutdown/strike?

[goosehd]

@Madame Buttonfly That is if you can sleep the night before…extremely exciting to have everyone together!
