**The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party
Weekend of 10th and 11th September 2022
Here at IHUK, Gosport**
Yes, it is the news you have all been waiting for. In September 2022, Iron Heart as a brand will be 20 years old, so we are going to celebrate in style.
And, of course, Haraki and some of the Japanese Crew will be here to join in the fun.
So, there will a party in Gosport, and loads of special releases of jeans, t-shirts, UHFs etc etc
Block out the weekend (and to be safe, a few days either side
) and come and help put the style into Gosport.Greetings to All Confirmed and Would-Be/Hopeful Party-Goers!
We're already getting very excited about the party weekend in September. Sadly, we are not spoilt for choice with accommodation in Gosport, so we're urging everyone to book as early as possible please. The prices are already increasing as this is a popular time of year for weddings (and Iron Heart parties!)I did a little research this morning, here are some pointers:
**Gosport Travelodge - very easy walking distance to IHUKHQ, the rooms are new and I'm told quite nice for a small, budget hotel. The costs are surprisingly high, but that is probably because of the number of bookings already made for the Iron Heart party! Currently £100-120 for one night (Sat 10th) and £180-216 for 2 nights (Fri 9th and Sat 10th).
**Holiday Inn Express Gunwharf Quays (Portsmouth) - this hotel is a ferry ride away across the harbour in Portsmouth, but it is easy to get to IHUKHQ on foot (10 mins walk to ferry, 5 mins on ferry to Gosport, then 10 mins walk or short taxi ride to Cooperage Green) and the ferries run pretty frequently (every 15 mins) till around 11pm after which there is a late-night, smaller ferry service (we'll publish all these details nearer the date). Currently £156 for one night (Sat 10th) and £123 for 2 nights (Fri 9th and Sat 10th) - YES, considerably cheaper for 2 nights, must be some sort of weekend deal.
**Old Lodge Hotel, Gosport - around 1.5 miles away, so a short taxi ride or a good walk, nice location in Alverstoke (the "posh" part of Gosport) but no idea what it's like inside. Currently not giving a price for one night, showing £268 for 2 nights (Fri 9th and Sat 10th) but this hotel is on several booking websites, so may get lower price by shopping around.
**Premier Inn, Gosport - this is a couple of miles up the main road, a 5-10 minute taxi ride from IHUKHQ. Currently £106 for one night (Sat 10th) and £182 for 2 nights (Fri 9th and Sat 10th).
There are also a couple of nice looking places to rent on AirBnB.
This local company has a number of great-looking places to rent in Gosport - definitely worth a look (and if you make an enquiry or a booking, please mention that you're coming for the Iron Heart party)********

(book your room in time and make sure it is booked… it's Gosport you know :-X)
Breaking news…...We have a new hotel within staggering distance.....
And our friends run this place - taxi drive or 30 minute walk

Nowhere of any significance flies into Southampton.
So your best options are Heathrow or Gatwick. Heathrow is a nightmare on public transport, Gatwick train gets you to the ferry to Gosport - 4-minute ferry ride.
Both are about 90 mins drive/taxi away. Our taxi is about GBP100 each way.
Renting a car is sensible if you want to see more of UK than just Gosport

Yesss…. event of the year 2022.
Really looking forward to see a lot of forum people there... (book your room in time and make sure it is booked... it's Gosport you know :-X)
Oh come on, you had a place to sleep, didn't you.
Edit:
Allready told my wife I'll be unavailable at that weekend.
