Canterbury Meet 4th July (Sun) Note New Date

[picsfor]

This is a definite Jonathan.

It will be bumped up again the week before when i will confirm meeting time and place.
I know those confirming attendance will want to see your gallery if the offer is on.

I still have the directions to get there and Irv has a Sat Nav so that's covered most of the getting there needs.

[Eileen]

I'd love to see the gallery if possible Jonathan. The Sunday shoot sounds great too but sadly other commitments mean I won't be able to make it.

Note the updated title and meet proposal details.

Final schedule to be posted in the week leading up to the meet.

Yep this looks like a go from me both days too (as I missed out on the last shoot) just let me know what the score is for the sunday

Special bonus for anybody who feels like making a weekend of it (no, you'd have to find your own accommodation...).  I have a new shoot location I'm dying to try.  It's a beautiful house with 30 acres of gardens, woods and outbuildings.  Oh and a swimming pool.  Total cost to hire is about £200 but if anybody wants to join me on a group shoot on the Sunday we can split costs.  I'll bet I could persuade a couple of models to turn up....

I missed this bonus and have now advised that i, like Irv, would be keen to attend.
Any one not done a shoot like this should take the opportunity - a great time to be had, plenty of fun and support with some pleasing pictures to show for your efforts at the end.
It's not a requirement to attend Canterbury on the Saturday to attend this - this is something different, and maybe more to some peoples taste.

Rest assured Jonathan will soon fill the spots so get in quick 

[Jonathan]

Um, if we had to move the first day to the Sunday and the Sunday to some time later....could people make the 4th instead of the 3rd?

Something may have come up....

I'm easy on the Sunday 4th and i think Irv is - not sure about Eileen and haven't heard off any one else as yet.

I suspect Eileen would love to be able to make a photo shoot with models etc so if she couldn't make the Sunday...

[Eileen]

I can make the 4th, just not both days that weekend (and you're right Andrew I'd really like to do the model shoot if that was possible). 

[picsfor]

So Sunday it is then!

[Sandy]

I might be able to make the Sunday thou it does depend on the trains running.

[Jonathan]

OK - good thing I changed the date.  I was actually planning to sneak up to London on the Saturday to shoot the Pride march.  But I booked a short notice wedding and a very gorgeous venue

Anyway, roll call - who's on board?

[picsfor]

Ok, it is the week of the meet, and it is time to finalise things...

I'm definitely in, and i believe Eileen is, as well as Irv - though they might pop in to confirm this themselves.
Haven't head off Martin - i expect he was dependent on the football so he's probably available now  

Sandy is interested subject to train service though i think she's just up the road so don't think it's a big issue...

Do you want to meet near your Gallery then Jonathan - say about 9-10 ish or meet up West Gate Gardens?

[Eileen]

I'm looking forward to it. 

See you all on Sunday.

[Sandy]

Hi I should be ok, looking forward to it.

[Jonathan]

Do you want to meet near your Gallery then Jonathan - say about 9-10 ish or meet up West Gate Gardens?

Yeah it's cool for everyone to meet here.  Plus nothing really happens in Canterbury before 10 on a Sunday.

Why don't you all meet up at the gallery between 9 and 10 and we can head into town at 10ish and take it from there.

You can find the location on my website - click the map for a Google route planner.  Or just SatNav to CT2 8ES.  You'll find yourself in a residential road.  Go all the way to the end, through the hedge and it's the blue building.  You want to park before you go through the hedge.  Plenty of street parking but please be considerate of my neighbours.  It's fine to block my drive (the one with the big hedge and silver Skoda but not theirs

What do people want to do on Sunday?  I can put some suggestions together.  Everyone seems to like Westgate Gardens and the Cathedral.  And there's always lunch to think about.
