Fish’n’Chips 2018 – Friday 6th and Saturday 7th July 2018 in Gosport

[Madame Buttonfly]

@hajduk that's amazing news - we finally get to meet!  And @den1mhead fantastic that you and Jules will join us this year, too!  @Morose_Penguin there is absolutely no urgency, ideally I'd like to firm up numbers towards the end of June so plenty of time for you to work out if you can sort the holidays (fingers and toes crossed)!

Excited! 

[Black Orchid]

Looking forward to the shenanigans [emoji4]

For anyone struggling to find accommodation, there are quite a few listings on Airbnb:

https://www.airbnb.co.uk/s/Gosport-PO12/all?refinement_paths[]=%2Ffor_you&place_id=ChIJ_-Sv5lJmdEgRJovXrzvvBA4&checkin=2018-07-06&checkout=2018-07-08&adults=2&guests=1&query=Gosport PO12

The first listing (double room historic naval building) is within spitting distance, the second listing (private garden studio in calm oasis) is owned by friends and just a 10 min walk away. If you find somewhere and want to check location etc. with me before you book, please do!

Just doing a bit of research regarding getting to Gosport and finding somewhere to stay, all looks ok so far. Gosport Borough Council seem to have overwhelming confidence in their public transport system: "taxis and buses are usually available"

How does that work? Is it best to ring in the morning and check if they feel like running a bus service that day.

[Chris]

In my experience, the buses are pretty reliable.  No idea about the taxis.

[Morose_Penguin]

Good to know.

I've just realised FnC 2018 is less than 5 weeks away!  ???

We've got lots of ideas in place, just need to turn them into firm plans - then we'll let everyone have more info.

@Alex has kindly volunteered to be in charge of the yakitori barbecue on Saturday, along with his pal Kenta (who manages the IH Osaka store in Japan for Haraki) and @rocket you will probably be drafted in to be part of the yakitori dream team!

@Max Power and @Cole really sorry we won't see you, you'll be missed.  @hajduk we are all very excited to finally meet you in person!

[rocket]

if you think that this is a good idea …

[UnTucked]

Let us know if you need anything for the yakitori! Maddy has a network of Asian markets that she scours for her cooking needs.

[Giles]

Boom - she is now the chef…

[UnTucked]

She already planned to contribute, lol.

Thinking to buy her an IH apron and putting her to work, lol

[Alex]

Thanks, @UnTucked
I'll PM you. Think we will do a trial run this week or next..

[Megatron1505]

We’re going to be late, Pam can’t get out of work until 5.30pm so we’ll be in Gosport about 11pm

[UnTucked]

Perfect time for drinks…
