Plan your journey to the Town of Ramsgate
Oh go on then, if I can get dog sitters i’ll be there. Always great fun.
I’ll do my best, but I don’t get back from Spain until after 1am that morning. If I fail to make it, let me recommend Il Bordello Italian restaurant within staggering distance: portions are huge, delicious and reasonably priced. Just don’t have a starter or you’ll never get through the main, and forget all ideas of pudding. Hope to see you there …
I have visited Il Bordello twice thanks to your recommendation Tstrummer. It certainly floated my boat both times.
Miffypops will be celebrating his nieces wedding in Derbyshire.
I’m expecting to be there. Hmmm – Italian…..
I’m intending to be there – rail tickets already purchased.
Husband is going to be working in the hospital all day and I can’t leave old Mum and old collie unless there’s someone here.
I hope that you all have a wonderful day and good luck to anyone who’s taking part in competitions.
PS – I will make sure that everyone behaves nicely here in exchange for lots of photos on the day!
I wouldn’t hold your breath re piccies, none posted since the Bristol do in Feb for us mere mortals
eh BD
I’m torn: I’d like to go, but then you’d discover my two heads and terrible personality!
Oh well, unless something comes up, you can expect to find a Kitty there :).
Two heads are better than one – see you there!
Haha!
Would have liked to attend but will be back in Hyères by then. Maybe next year… Wondering what one does once there – chat, drink, enter a competiton?
All three, usually!
Far more of the first two, especially the second!
Was really hoping to join you but I have laryngitis and am currently utterly unable to speak so will probably have to miss out this time – unless the situation improves by tomorrow afternoon of course…
Sorry can’t make it. Hope you all have a super day!
Hey there,
Spending some of the afternoon in Surrey, so I’m going to try to come over, depending on what time I finish there. Hopefully things will still be going (not *too* much the worse for wear?) at about half five?

Kairos is planning to be there so I suppose I will need to come along and keep him company
