I don't know how I did this but I wrote 22nd September IOW Show on my wall calendar. I even booked a flight to Prague yesterday and am supposed to fly on Saturday. I was speaking to Vic Galluci earlier this evening and he said 'see you on Sunday'. We had a minor argument about when the IOW show was on and being the organiser he won - It's this Sunday 15th! I panicked a bit as I thought maybe I'd told everyone else it was the 22nd, but I dug out this mail and at one time I was actually on track with this and put IOW Show Sept 15th. I found a mail that I sent to Martin saying 'see you on the 22nd' which I hope he ignored. I hope you will all still be able to go. It's unlikely that I can change my other arrangements now, so if someone else wants to go in their D they can take my ferry number and pretend to be me. Let me know and I'll tell Vic Galluci. Here are the ferry details for those of you who are already booked in: Tony Lawther GW543741 Daniel Willis GW543729 Martin Gutowski GW543731 Richard Johnstone GW543739 Paul Feagan GW543740 (yes I know that's me but when I forget my number I'm hoping one of you lot will have this mail!) Out on the 8am ferry and return on the 6.30pm ferry (rtn might be later as I think they'll just let cars on as they arrive). When you arrive at Portsmouth look for the Isle of Wight Car Ferries Port. There should be some marshals at the port. Go to the ticket office and tell them the number above and they'll give you the return tickets (free). On arrival at Fishbourne you exit right and up a small road for 1/4 mile until a crossroads. Take the left hand turn to Ryde. Stay on that road for 2 miles and then follow signs for Ryde and the Town Centre. Then follow signs to the Esplanade and the Waterside Pool. In front of you should be a Canoe Lake. Park up and get your bucket and spades out of the front of the car. I don't know how early we have to arrive at Portsmouth but I'll probably aim for 7.30am. I bet they'd let you on the next one if you miss the ferry anyway. It's probably not too late for anyone else to sign up. Just let me know and I'll ask the organiser Vic Galluci. Disclaimer: This isn't my show and I'm not the organiser. If it rains or it's rubbish please don't blame me. I also will be more useless than anyone else as far as knowing what to do and where to go so don't follow me!
