The Iron Heart Forum 15th and the Iron Heart 22nd Anniversary Party

[Giles]

That's what I said

[scooter]

Almost there. If all goes to plan, I should be pulling into Gosport, one week from now...

[EdH]

Anyone up for a big brunch on Saturday morning before the party at Katie's Vinyl Bar & Kitchen? I quite liked my full English there last time, and experience says to fill up before an afternoon of boozing.

I think you Travelodge folks probably have breakfast included.

[Tago Mago]

@EdH I'm up for that. Pretty sure I booked the Travelodge without breakfast

[goosehd]

@EdH May take you up on that…With the family in tow, almost everything will be up to timing, chance, etc.

[Nocturama]

I’m not back from Italy until late on the Friday, then driving down (hopefully early) on Saturday morning, so timing may not work out, unless I’m early enough to nip in for some take out on the way to HQ for a hem job.

[EdH]

@goosehd Ditto. I'm not proposing an official time or anything; last time I was just wandering up the high street at around 10:30-11:00 or so and spotted a load of UHF's outside Katie's Bar, so I stopped for coffee and food.

It is opposite the Travelodge, could be designated an unofficial meeting spot before we wander over to IH once it opens.

[Tobi]

Perhaps someone can set up a whatsapp group for local short noticed coordination?

[hbg1]

I’m up for meeting up earlier on the Saturday, I’m staying on the Portsmouth side but meeting up for a coffee/some food ahead of time sounds great

[Twistlock]

@EdH, no breakfast booked so i am in.

[ARNC]

@EdH interested but might depend on whether I accidentally wake up starving at “work time”. Then again, I’ve heard second breakfast is a thing …

[AdamC]

@EdH Great shout. I am looking forward to seeing the IH army descending onto cooperage green in their masses come midday!

[EdH]

@AdamC it sounds like @ARNC is something of a hobbit with his talk of second breakfasts, so I now have an image something like a flannel version of The Fellowship of the Ring in my head.

[ARNC]

@EdH wondering how long the guy second from right will keep his fingers!

[Oaktavia]

@EdH LOL YES

[Kasi]

Hope your heads are not banging in the morning

[Nik]

The party falls on the weekend of my longest training for my upcoming 100 mile ultramarathon, so running 30 miles on Saturday, and 20 on Sunday. Saturday will probably be on trails, but on Sunday might run to Gosport, if anyone wants to join.

[XPender]

@Nik I will do some kind of running Saturday, depending on what my coach throws at me

[tody]

@EdH We're in as well. Can't start a day in England without the full English.
