[Leon]

Hi,
I am new to this site and would like to come along and join you at Canterbury in October if that is ok, I won't need accommodation as I live only half an hour from Canterbury

Ivor - no problem. You'd be welcome to come along. You might even have some thoughts as to where we can go to take pics on the Saturday/ sunday am .... and you donut too. jot them down and we'll dicsuss the plan of action on the friday night

 

[ivornikon]

Leon - Thanks for that, I will put my thinking cap on, donut and myself have taken the camara's out for the day on many occasion.

 

[Ailsa]

Ailsa - I'm sure Helen and I could pick you up from Ashford and take you over to boughton (in fact, you can get to Chilham from Ashford) ... let us know

Thanks Leon. It's only 10-15 minutes on the train from Ashford to Chilham, so I'll hop on and meet you there if that's OK.

I'm booked in for Fri/Sat.
Re locations... website of kent coast here: http://www.kentcoast.org.uk/
Both Seasalter and Reculver look interesting - and Faversham Creek/marshes if it's not too far??
Regards to all.

[Leon]

faversham is closer than both the other locations - there is an interesting boat ard, and a nice walk through the old brick fields - yes, that sounds good. then Seasalter and Reculver sort of follow on.

 

[FrankB]

I make that 9 rooms booked out of 13 so far...

(Someone else can do the next tally; I don't want to take my shoes and socks off...)

 

[Stoo Batchelor]

Make that 10 Frank

I have a single booked. looking forward to meeting you all. Is it a tradition to brings some of our work along, as i adore looking at other peoples Photographs?

Regards

Stoo

 

[Mark Burley]

Bring montains...

Last time I forgot my portfolio and was mortified, as everyone else bought quite a few with them...

So the more the merrier - Mark

 

[FrankB]

Bringing a selection of your work is not mandatory but is highly recommended, and looking through it all is definitely one of the Gathering highlights for me!

 

[Stoo Batchelor]

Thats great news

Looks like its going to be a great weekend!

 

[Sandeha Lynch]

I was hoping to hail the hotel from home in the evening ... but my car got badly bruised on the boot from behind by a beemer on the way back.

Awaiting their insurers ... !"@"&!

All else is well, but driving around with a loose end.

 

[Brian Jeffery]

So, the beemer had to use its emergency brakes then

 

[pyrometol]

Just booked in Ann and myself for the weekend,; it sounds as if we shall take the place over! Look forward to seeing you all again. Jophn Stredwick

It should have.

Photo locations...

I have taken a few shots at Seasalter, but what's Reculver like? Is it marshes/beaches?

If it is anything like Seasalter then I will be a happy little bunion, mind you, after Symonds Yat etc. Tony did put together a lovely little set of locations...

No pressure tho - Mark

Mortified! Didn't notice that.

Always, Always Avoid Alliteration!

(and beemers!)

I hope you're okay, Sandeha. Look after your neck and back over the next few days (speaking from painful personal experience).

John - Great to hear that you and Ann got in under the wire while there's still space left.

Leon - At this rate it might be worth looking around for overflow accommodation...!

 

[Sandeha Lynch]

Oh, my neck still gets it's daily strengthening exercises, so's OK. You know what I mean!

Once the financial dust has settled ... I'll book.

 

[FrankB]

They might have missed you altogether if you'd honked your horn...!

 

[Dave Miller]

Shouldn’t that be; beebed his beeper?

 

[Mark Burley]

Mortified...

Mortified! Didn't notice that.

Mind you, I was also looking forward to the next bottle of wine...
Amongst others!

Seriously tho, I was actually quite embarassed, I had spent ages preparing (the portfolio) it - then left the damn thing behind!

The only thing I could show was my entry for Circle 2... poor tho it was.

But then you (and Win) have probably seen it all before Dave... If you hadn't by then - you sure have by now, along with the other Midlands Monochrome group of course!
