Topic: UK Filmwasters Meet Up February 9th - DUNGENESS & PETT LEVEL

[Sandeha Lynch]

I'd second that idea, Leon.  I'd forgotten about the M5 corridor ...

Hope youse lot have a good'un down there.

[DonkeyDave]

Sorry to hear that Phil, was hoping to quiz you about the States, another day.

[Ken B: eyes, I just do eyes.]

well we rode down from the big smoke today and have had a leisurely afternoon on the sea front.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning

 

[Phil Bebbington]

Leon, that sounds like a great idea. I shall be thinking of you all - I would hope that podcast material will come from this trip. As well as some great photos, naturally 

[AJShepherd]

Hope the weather is good enough and hope to see everyone's results later.
Dungeness is a bit of a pain to get to by public transport (which is why I've never been before) and I'd only consider that if I was staying over, but that's out of the question for now.

If there's another Filmwasters' trip in the south east later this year, I'd love to come along!

Grrrr! I can't make it today. I got 1 stop in the train and some poor sod had thrown themselves in front of another train one stop further down the line. So I'm knackered.

Hope that you have fun, looking forward to seeing the results and I'll catch you at the next trip, for sure.

[Nigel]

Thanks everyone. I had a great day, really enjoyed it.

Apologies to those I didn't get to say goodbye to, let's not leave it too long before we do it again.

Nigel

@AJShepard - next time worth seeing if someone's coming from your direction, most people are usually happy to car share.

[Pete_R]

Thanks everyone. I had a great day, really enjoyed it.

Me too. I disappeared as soon as I saw the rain coming. See you all next time I hope.

[LT]

I had a great day  - thanks to catching up with some familiar faces, and meeting some new ones. Thanks to everyone who made it along. I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of everyone's efforts.

PS - thanks to the weather gods for a wonderfully sunny day in the most part.

[Late Developer]

Phil - really sorry you couldn't make it. We missed your company and really look forward to meeting up next time.

AJShepherd - I can only echo the earlier comment. I'm always happy to offer lift / car-share with any FW and I doubt I'm unique in that respect. Put a shout out and see if someone lives nearby or can pick you up en-route.

Zapsnaps - that's a horrible thing to happen and I feel for the poor bugger who felt they had no other option and also for you as having plans destroyed at the 11th hour is frustrating. As a commuter to London every weekday, I know EXACTLY how you feel.

It was a great day out - thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope a few of my snaps turn out okay. Lovely to meet a few new faces and re-meet in person those I don't get to meet other than on FW outings. Lara, Miller and I headed home when the rain came as I can't think of anything much more bleak than Dungeness in a sleet / rainstorm - though I'm eternally thankful that the weather was with us most of the day.

I must, must, must practice more at loading the Hasselblad cassettes as I lost two films (24 hopefully good shots) by putting the stuff in the wrong way round. 

Looking forward to everyone's photos.

Let's do it again (somewhere else) in Spring......

[Ed Wenn]

Glad it went well. I was thinking of turning up with the kids in tow, just to say hi etc., but realised I'd probably end up feeling frustrated about not being able to join in the snappage, so we stayed in London instead. I'm looking forward to seeing results.

[Phil Bebbington]

Come on guys, where are the photos? I thought you would have all had them posted last night 

See, it's film I don't know why we bother

[Paul Mitchell]

Just to add my thanks to everyone for another agreeable outing and also for making my two guests feel so welcome (another couple of new FW recruits methinks). I managed to say goodbye to most people but to those that I didn't... thanks for your company!

Am sitting typing this while it's dull, grey and wet outside... the weather gods were indeed with us yesterday.
