This is looking like a great meet taking shape - have you decided on a meeting place yet Ken - I would love to see HMS Victory again if possible, and a New Fotest cruise to the Sammy Miller Museum would be great! Not sure just yet if its me on my own or if Andy coming as well - l will advise.

 

Meet and Venus Arrangemts

Both the New Forest cruise including the Sammy Miller Museum is a full day event..with a stop over for a pub lunch. Entrence fee is £5.90.pp

The Victory/Warrior and Mary Rose at Portsmouth dockyard is also a full day event. They have there own off site car park. ..very close..and with full securety camera cover.

Prices..If you want to visit the three ships plus other included small attractions its £18.00.pp, should you just wish to visit the Victory its £12.50.pp..The area is full of places and pubs where good food is servied all day.

And there is also fantastic shopping very close for the girls if needed. I am checking local central acommodation to cover both days events and will post details soon.

We should be able to take some great pictures for our 2010 Crossfire Christmas calendar in stunning locations..I have a few in mind.

Lodgings booked for the meet - looking forward to it now. Must remember to wash Marlene before the journey.

 

Attending the meet? If other's are planing on staying Saturday night, maybe its worth having a word with Paul, as it would be good to have more xfire owners in the same hotel, and easier for a meeting location..and perhaps a few beer's

Very spooky Paul, just followed a link to Big Blue Wolf's twitter page from Mac Format and spotted your tweet on top of the page! Small world!
