Isle of Wight meet, another 'feeler'

pixi · 29-08-2006, 11:22

As a few have expressed an interest in gracing the Island with their presence yet again, I thought I would post a feeler to see how many are interested and if a suitable weekend can be arranged.

Will thinks after Christmas (Saturday Jan 13th) because his social diary is just too full to entertain anything else. Also, the roads will be empty.

I think it will be too close after Xmas for some and it will be cold so I propose it to be before Xmas. Also, the roads will be empty as soon as the kiddies go back to school.

**VRStu** · 29-08-2006, 11:38

You can come and feel me if you like Miss P

pixi · 29-08-2006, 11:46

The Pix is speechless.

Would this go down as an historic day?

Goochie · 29-08-2006, 11:50

I would come but I dont think my Datsun would be welcome

pixi · 29-08-2006, 11:53

Your such a tease Gooch

I only mentioned feeling - you mentioned going down!!

Does Phil know about this??

pixi · 29-08-2006, 12:00

I nearly had a screen full of smoothie then

And Phil is in bed, as usual

devonutopia · 29-08-2006, 13:11

Sounds good to me. Hopefully by then I'll have a little more money to spend on socialising.

At the moment I'm a bit poooooor, and going to be a bit tight for spending money on the Czech trip. Diesel and food only. Oh, and women,

roo · 29-08-2006, 13:14

I'll be up for it if I'm not working

TeflonTom · 29-08-2006, 13:17

i'm interested too, work permitting of course!

which is cheaper red funnel or wight link?? i seem to remember it being 50 odd quid last time i went to the island on wight link.

drm_jones · 29-08-2006, 13:19

I would be up for this

pixi · 29-08-2006, 13:24

It's swings and roundabouts really. Check the websites for offers and book online for the best discounts.

Some other things to take into consideration are;

www.redfunnel.co.uk - between Southampton and East cowes, takes one hour and has better food than wightlink.

www.wightlink.co.uk - from Portsmouth to Fishbourne, takes forty minutes and the only thing worth having is a latte

Also runs from Lymington to Yarmouth, prehistoric ferry, no latte but takes half an hour and can be entertaining when there's a decent rip running

Goochie · 29-08-2006, 13:32

Whats the IOW like for ice etc. being so close to the sea - do you get any? Given its in January I might get scared and come in the Octavia

it's not in the arctic circle is that's what you mean! it dosn't get that cold here really!

pixi · 29-08-2006, 13:37

We are protected marginally by being an Island. There is only one road that is notorious for ice and I promise I won't take you down it

Don't be scared Gooch, come in the Z you know you want to

Jonny5ive · 29-08-2006, 21:25

Could be good for a post Xmas jaunt "darn Sarf" and I could fit in a visit to the folks..............

Two birds......One Stone

pixi · 29-08-2006, 21:28

So nobody has any issues regarding it being close to Xmas? It makes no difference to me, but January can be a long month for some

Shall we make it Saturday January 13th then?
