B&Bs are fairly reasonable! and accomodating to all the marina nuts

I didnt forget George! He lives there though so I assumed Becks would know he was going

Cheers Sam, thats really good to know

I will do some research on B&B's on the island. what part of the Island is it usually held? no point in getting a B&B if it is a weeks drive from the venue lol :roll:

hehe it only takes about 30 mins to drive across the whole island!

Think we will be at Robin Hill on the Saturday which is pretty much in the middle!

Can't even remember where we stayed last year

Sandown maybe?

It falls on the bank holiday weekend in august. the best area to look in is shanklin/sandown area for accomodation.

Thanks Becks, I will look into that. Shanklin is only 463 miles away from me so its not too far, a few hours in the car shoulf do the trick

8) watches the boat sink 2" lower into the water when Stu steps on and the sheep breath a sigh of relief when Paul waves goodbye to them blowing kisses

it should be a good weekend and uncle frank can see what he started all those years ago, complete with my custom grille which is currently being manufactured in his workshop.

If people can post on here their names and the car / cars that they will bringing to the iow then sam can start to see what press we can get interested in the weekend.

*cries a little*

yeah I know Paul was against the idea of a "TC fest" but it would make a great headline
