Gibbo Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share #41 Posted February 21, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) On The Grove is an eating establishment called The Mud Dock. It might turn out to be the best place for lunch. It's on the first floor and beneath it is the Mud Dock cycle shop which has it's own car park. This car park is a pay and display car park. I think it will prove to be ideal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Gibbo, Take a look here Bristol Meet - 28th April. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robert_parker Posted February 22, 2012 Share #42 Posted February 22, 2012 Well done Gibbo - that sounds great - also as Mike says, there's also lots of parking around Millennium square, (which I wrongly identified as Cannon's Marsh previously ) as well as cafes and visually interesting locations - might be we can mix old and new Bristol effectively . The words 'Boat Trip' also come to mind given that the Prince Street ferry landing and the SS Great Britain are nearby... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share #43 Posted March 28, 2012 Ok chaps, one month to go!! I do hope the good weather hasn't come too soon but if it stays like this we're in for a goodun! To summarise, I think we shall meet at the Mud Dock Car Park on The Grove at approximately 11 am on Saturday 28th April. Coffee and or lunch at the Mud Dock followed by an exploration of the City Centre/Harbourside. Our local Leica Dealer, The London Camera Exchange is within striking distance on Baldwin Street. Its a small establishment so I'm not sure anyone would want to pop in on the day? I've just scanned through the thread and here is a list of those who have expressed an interest so far. Most were 'possibly' with a few definites. Could you start to give me a more positive idea of whether you intend to join us? Gibbo mike bidwell robert parker Bill Allsopp Stunsworth farnz andy barton earleygallery spylaw4 michael boylan bill Tim B gravastar Mark Pope Will any of you be bringing partners? I'd like to pop in to the Mud Dock and warn them that a group may descend upon them so that we don't take them by surprise Excitin' innit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebidwell Posted April 8, 2012 Share #47 Posted April 8, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Three weeks to go chaps Yep "Tempus Fugit" in fact by this time in three weeks it will all be a very nice memory. Looking forward to meeting you all. I'm not sure but my 14 year old granddaughter might be with me, well if that's if its OK with you guys. She's quite a good photographer but she hasn't graduated to a Leica yet, although she eyes up my kit, I think shes hoping it will all be hers when I'm up there playing my harp!!

farnz Posted April 8, 2012 Share #48 Posted April 8, 2012 She'll be very welcome, Mike. And I feel sure that we wouldn't be instrumental in her choice of camera equipment, which will of course have to come out of your pocket. Has she heard about medium format yet? Or the S2 ... ?

andybarton Posted April 9, 2012 Share #49 Posted April 9, 2012 Still hoping to come, but depends upon my wife's off-duty, which is unknown at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Allsopp Posted April 9, 2012 Share #50 Posted April 9, 2012 I was hoping to come on my way back from a trip to the south-west in my van but it is beginning to look as though other commitments are going to overwhelm that and the Bristol meet too.

Would be driving over from the far east coast, so would need good instructions for Bristol itself or at least Post Codes for relevant car parks. First time posting, first meeting....if it works....
