The Iron Heart Forum 15th and the Iron Heart 22nd Anniversary Party

@Oaktavia Yeah, I think you’ll be fine too. I’d wear it today if I had one.

[Megatron1505]

@Kasi love those mate.

[Mister_Brue]

Lovely morning coffee sat next to Lottie in Katie’s Vinyl Bar and Kitchen. She used to belong to a customer that passed away, so she has been adopted, and now spends all day lounging on the sofa, maybe having the odd treat or two.

We got back home late last night after a fantastic day with all those who could attend.

Just want to say a huge thank you to @Alex and all the crew for their hard work and incredible hospitality.

Great to see old friend and meet a few folks I had not had the pleasure of knowing before.

For me personally it was a welcome return after a period of absence. I’m not saying that I’ll be here every day going forwards, but let’s just say I will be around more often than not.

Shout out to old mates @louisbosco @neph93 @swiss-jeansfreak @DrPat, always a pleasure lads.

Also to the gents I had either not met before, or only very briefly @Matt @T4920 @Kasi @goosehd .

I know we spoke to a lot more folks, but my memory for names and forum names is shocking, safe to say everyone was great.

Lastly in this “Oscar Winners” speech of a post, @Madame-Buttonfly @Giles , so good to see you again, I’ll leave the next meet up arrangements with Pam as you know I am fucking useless.

Also, to the young gent who asked me yesterday if there would be a HWDC4.

Never say never, but never

[Nik]

Great to see forum friends thanks to Iron Heart for organising a great weekend. Already wore my fleece western shirt to warm up after a rainy run this morning.

[doubletee]

@goosehd looks awesome guys

[Tobi]

Let me add my thanks for organizing and hosting an exceptionel party, and for an amazing 2days in Gosport! En route slowly back to Gatwick... Stopover in The White Horse in Haslemere.

[Nik]

I’m still thinking about that Trophy horsehide jacket…

[endo]

It‘s been awesome meeting you all, many old friends but also new ones and those I‘d know from the forum but never met in person. Thank you all for having such a great time together, you are wonderful, well-dressed people.

But most of all my thanks belongs to @Alex for being such a generous and attentive host. Thanks so much for making this possible, Alex, and bringing all these wonderful crazy people together!

Unfortunately we had to leave early to catch the ferry and couldn‘t say good-bye and hug everyone as much as we would have liked. Therefore, if you didn’t see us this morning please take our hugs and best wishes for a safe return by this way.

Hope to see you all again soon. Love you.
Mrs E & endo

[Kasi]

Mo on the go… you says ho

[tody]

@Nik That suited you really well. Nothing to run a marathon in, though

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I didn’t see you two today 🥲

[jtaylor69]

@endo it was great to meet you and Mrs E this weekend as well as getting to practice some German which I clearly haven't used for a long time!!
Safe travels and hope to see you again soon.

[ARNC]

Halfway home and catching up while waiting for an obscenely large bad coffee to cool enough to drink.

Huge thanks to @alex and the crew for hosting another great event and to friends old and new for their part in this. If I didn’t get to speak with you, you can count yourself one of the lucky ones, but there’s always next time!

Also thanks to the progenitor of great and terrible ideas (aka @neph93) for inadvertently inspiring me to pick up a 307 from the shop this morning. This was a great one – I always love additions to my wardrobe that come with a story.

[DrPat]

If anyone has seen @Kasi tell him he left his shorts in Unit 2.
