Watching this thread with interest as I've wanted to join your outings for a while. Sadly, I've been to the UK about 10 times since you all started these get togethers, but I haven't been able to align the stars. If it's in Canterbury, I might have a better chance as it's very close to one of my company's sites and I have to go in the fall anyway ...
Regards, Art.
Regards, Art.
You will be very welcome Art, wherever the venue.
Dunno about size, but I hear they do well with Pan F-sharp ...
Sorry... couldn't stop myself...
Bob.
Sandeha - Have you noticed that, by a quirk of geography, Canterbury is about an hour up the road from Crowborough? Don't let me influence you...
That leaves me with no choice at all, Frank ... It has to be Devon !
Sandeha - It certainly looks like a cheaper option, doesn't it?!
Bob - With practice, they'll do split-toning too!
Art - If you can make it, it'd be great to have you along.

We now have:
Oct 5-7 draws out its lead as we approach the final run up to the winning post, 26-28 and 12-14 starting to fade (though the selection of anywhere other than Cornwall as a location will give a 1 vote boost to 26-28)...
Unless there is a late charge from somewhere, it's looking like we have a winner. Close the betting Sunday midnight?
Mark, I guessed you meant Oct 5-7.
Cheers, Bob.
P.S. We regret to announce that all the September runners fell at The Chair and had to be shot...

Location tie-break poll started (there was a url link here which no longer exists). Poll closes in 5 days.
Tnx Frank. In that case, may as well keep this one running until your poll finishes and then declare joint winners...
Cheers, Bob.
At the post, the winner by four lengths is Oct 5-7.
We have a place: Kent. We have a date: Friday-Sunday Oct 5-7.
<cue trumpet fanfare, general rejoicing, cries of "hurrah!" and the throwing of diverse head-wear in to the air>

Funny coincidence - I'm on vacation that week.
Where? Kent?
Aye ... "in a compaignye,
Of sondry folk, by aventure yfalle
In felaweshipe, and pilgrimes were they alle,
That toward caunterbury wolden ryde."
Sondry folk and motley crew...
Steady on guv - we'll all want to go next!
I for one will look forward to meeting up again...

Yeah, but Chaucer didn't have the M25 to contend with...Aye ... "in a compaignye,

Bob.
ROTFL!
I feel a rewrite of The Miller's Tale may be in order...!
Okay Leon, how many of us can you fit in your spare room and are you sure you've booked enough dancing-girls?
Well, those that dont fit into the dogs bed, I have a rather cold and smelly darkroom, I'm sure I can fit at least 2 in there, although you'll have to share with the spiders and small community of Masonry Bees.
I have the Chilham Retired Ladies Friendly Society and Flower Arranging Group on standby, so hold on to your hats boys, it's going to be a wild weekend.
Are people happy to stay in Chilham? It's about 7 miles outside Canterbury and prety central for both M2 and M20. It is very chocolate-boxy type picturesque so might be good for wandering around / pictures. We're a two pub village. Sadly, the Castle is not open that weekend, but there is a great view from the square. I've got a few ideas on photo locations, but they involve driving around a bit - maybe Daid Bebbington can throw a few into the equation too.
My thoughts are - Reculver Towers, Dungeness (do a web search, lots of pics of dungeness dotted round t'internet), whitstable, we could go into canterbury itself if people want to, but it's always packed and a nightmare to park/ drive around.
any thoughts David?
I'm happy with Chilham (especially as it's less distance for the ladies to travel!).

Dungeness sounds good. Been to Romney Marsh a couple of times but didn't get as far as there. You could easily spend a weekend pottering about Romney Marsh without going elsewhere (great on a bicycle) - marsh churches, Military canal, Romney and Old Romney, Winchelsea beach and environs...
Cheers, Bob.
