stunsworth Posted October 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been having a few words with Bill Parsons and Andy Barton about a springtime challenge in the UK. I was thinking about how photogenic seaside resorts can be, and thought it might be a good excuse for a spring get together. So the idea I'm floating is a challenge in Brighton on Saturday the 23rd of April 2011. Anyone interested? The date was chosen because it's outside of the main holiday season, and it isn't a bank holiday weekend. As with the main challenge everyone is welcome, and there's lots of accommodation available in Brighton. Also, for those winging in from overseas it's not too far from Gatwick airport. If enough people show interest I'll move it onto the next stage - whatever that may be, I've no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted October 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't that Easter weekend? Bugger, you're right. How about the 14th of May? that avoids the weekend of Mothers' day. Or the 16th of April? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 26, 2010 Share #8 Posted October 26, 2010 Mothers' Day is in March sometime. Anytime in April or May will do for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted October 27, 2010 Share #12 Posted October 27, 2010 Sounds a great idea Steve and so I'll try to keep the 16 April free. Problem is, I made my first mistake early in life, I was born in the wrong bed and therefore have to work for a living. Assume a meal and drink will be involved. _____________________________ Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
