The Iron Heart Forum 15th and the Iron Heart 22nd Anniversary Party
20th, 21st and 22nd September 2024
IHUK, Gosport
FRIDAY
The office / warehouse will not be open to visitors. We need to get our normal work done and the decks cleared so that the weekend is set up as we would like it. We have organised bus transport from the office to Staggeringly Good. If you want to make use of this, please meet outside Unit 21 Cooperage Green at 5pm. The bus will leave between 5.15 and 5.30. This is a one way service only, you will need to ask a local your best options for making it back to wherever you are staying.
For those not using the bus service, make your way to Staggeringly Good Brewery (Unit 10, St Georges Industrial Estate, Rodney Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea PO4 8SS) any time from 5pm. Some of the crew will be there to welcome you.
At the brewery, there will be beer (duh) and also a food truck serving BBQ food. Please note that the Friday event is not catered by us, you will need to buy your own food and drink. To those travelling from overseas the currency here is Pound Sterling, not Euros, but I would recommend using your bank/credit card or Apple/Android Pay generally, as cash is not always accepted in some places.
The menu for the food will be something along these lines:
)SATURDAY
The warehouse and shop will open from 12pm. We will have a bar of various beers from Staggeringly Good, some natural wines and soft drinks open from 12 - late. Anything listed on the webstore at the time of the event will be available to try on at the shop. There will be a party t-shirt and another round of party zippos for sale, as well as some limited giveaways (one only to shop customers), so come early to avoid disappointment.
From 6pm, we will have food served by the same catering duo as last party here. Fire & Flank will be flamethrowering flank steaks over chips or mash, and Coastal Kitchen will be serving up a big pan of vegan jerk rice, and chicken (halal) shawarma wraps.
There will be music on all day, but from around 7pm we will have a live vinyl DJ set for a couple of hours whilst people make good use of the bar. We'll close when the last crew member wants to go to bed.
SUNDAY
We will reopen the doors at 11am, the shop will be open again for anyone that did not buy everything they needed the day before, or for any retail therapy to nurse your hangovers. Coastal Kitchen will be serving up some bacon/sausage baps and plenty of tea and coffee for people, and anyone needed hair of the dog will be able to get their hands on whatever is left from the night before.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
