Forum Member FF meet up?

[Palifan]

As I've been a member of this forum for several years now and with the announcement that FF is returning on December 1st I was thinking it would be a great chance for me to finally meet up with several of the members on here that I've gotten to know over the years.

I've looked at the pictures from the past FF and would love to spend some time hanging out with those attending and also to join in on the legendary curry meet-up that seems to happen each year. I was just wondering who would be going up on the Saturday and where would be a good place to stay overnight so that I could be part of this all this time around.

Any tips appreciated and I hope to join some of you for the FF party weekend!

Several of us are booked into Ringwood, more accommodation and pubs.

Saturday night is always a great event and already aware of a dozen or so that'll be there, be great to meet you properly and have a few beers

Ian,
get yourself booked into The White Hart in Ringwood mate! As Stu said, several of us are booked in at Ringwood as you can't get accomodation in Fordingbridge for love nor money.

It would be brilliant to finally meet you and thank you in person for all the help you've given me over the years, and sink a few beers

Hopefully see you ther mate.
Mark

Thanks for the heads up guys and I'll give The White Hart in Ringwood a ring to see if I can get a room. Really looking forward to seeing you all and if I book it now whilst my better half is agreeing to it she won't have any choice but to let me go :lol:

First thing we're doing is shaving Stus head with a hoover - yes, it's an actual thing according to Facebook :shock:

I try and help you save time but no

I got in Fordingbridge but everyone needs to be aware that the roads close at 4pm (I think) due to the Christmas lights switch on.
