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

[ARNC]

Halfway home and catching up while waiting for an obscenely large bad coffee to cool enough to drink.

Huge thanks to @alex and the crew for hosting another great event and to friends old and new for their part in this. If I didn’t get to speak with you, you can count yourself one of the lucky ones, but there’s always next time!

Also thanks to the progenitor of great and terrible ideas (aka @neph93) for inadvertently inspiring me to pick up a 307 from the shop this morning. This was a great one – I always love additions to my wardrobe that come with a story.

If anyone has seen @Kasi tell him he left his shorts in Unit 2.

@Tago-Mago we were a bit worse for wear this morning so we didn’t make it to the shop. We were unceremoniously awoken by the faulty smoke detectors at the apartment. You still in town?

[Tago Mago]

@Matt unfortunately not. Due to the unpredictable nature of British rail I decided to catch an early coach to Heathrow. Great to see the two of you and already looking forward to next years party

[Daniel San]

next year ?

[psticks]

Hi @jtaylor69 hope you and Tamsin made it home ok last night.

[Tago Mago]

@Daniel-San at this point it’s wishful thinking on my part

[endo]

A thougt or wish we might all have.

@jtaylor69 the pleasure was all ours. It was great meeting and talking to you. Hope you also have a safe return and see you at the next party. Best from Mrs E and me. ️

Yeah you with me, you can have them now

Sometimes there's something good about being at the airport early and then the plane being late.
You can use the time to remember this fantastic weekend.

Many thanks to @Alex or rather to all the people who were responsible for the planning and realisation of this epic party.
Many thanks to all the people I was able to meet this weekend, it was an honour.

You are all sooo fantastic!!!!!!

See you at the next party

Iron to the bone

[jtaylor69]

@psticks great to meet you and Heidi last night. We made it back just after 2am but it was definitely a close one I think we will stay for breakfast next time!!!

[Oaktavia]

So lovely reading through everyone's posts. Amanda and I loved meeting y'all and spending time at IHHQ. I will remember this weekend forever. Here are the photos I was taking in the photos Dennis posted earlier.

Oh, and this super friendly cat I found in Giles and Paula's house on my way from the toilet.

And this one with Louie!

Thanks @Giles thanks @Alex you are so accommodating and just rad as hell. Till next time, see you here on the forum.

Edit: epic fit pic too @louisbosco

As always, it was great! Many thanks for the lovely evening to all. Here are a few snapshots of us (Iron Heart Germany Team)

[Tago Mago]

I want to echo everyone in thanking @Alex and the awesome crew for putting together a fantastic weekend. Probably helped by the fact that @Giles was far away in Morocco in the week leading up to the party.

Loved how you turned the unit into a great showroom that made it next to impossible not to buy anything.

Had a blast meeting @goosehd and family it - was long overdue, as well as in no particular order @neph93, @Oaktavia, @Jcaz6996, @weftyarn and @Nocturama amongst others, and getting to meet too many to mention again after Hamburg last year.

Pretty much the only pic I took:

Safe travels everyone, and fingers crossed for next year

Edit: I forgot @Clint_D and his wife, who came all the way with a couple of shirts in their luggage for me and @tody. That‘s commitment. Great to meet you both

[psticks]

@jtaylor69 Brill! Yes let’s book the same hotel next time

[goosehd]

One of us may have been a little teared up as we said our goodbyes today…maybe four of us . It’s hard to find the words to express my love and appreciation for all of you!

The crew has done an absolutely incredible job this weekend as they do every single day of the year. My hat is off to all of those that were involved in the planning and execution of this event. From my perspective, everything went off without one hitch.

I’ve said it once or maybe even a million times, but I came for the clothes, but I stay for the people!! In all of my years I can’t think of a better group to call my friends and family.

Thank you all ️

@Iron-Heart-Germany

You guys are kings of Germany keeping rocking. Lovely lady, too

[hbg1]

Thank you to all of the IH crew for putting together an absolutely incredible weekend.
Had some incredible conversations this weekend, picked up some cool things but most importantly I can say that I made new friends that I am looking forward to keep in contact with!
I left feeling a little sad the weekend was over while on my train to Gatwick.
The sadness quickly changed when I got off my first train and felt a hand on my shoulder. Turned around and it was @hajduk; he spotted the new bibs in the crowd of passengers!

The remainder of the journey was filled with some great conversations, a screaming baby, and what I can only describe as a very tan and heavily perfumed hen party that got on the train and sat with us for two stops

We survived the perfume (just barely)

I’m still processing everything from the weekend, but thank you all for being so welcoming to me as a first timer!
