Let's try and make it an annual event. Maybe next year we could do it in Ireland. The boys have always offered their hospitality.

For all those who are planning to attend our little gathering, initial suggestion is we try and arrange it for Sept/Oct. Is this good for you guys?
Please respond and/or email me direct.
Thanks.

Sorry for the "disappearing act"! And, yes, count me in!

John,
you are most welcome. The locale will probably be in the Preston area or thereabouts and so far no time as been set.
But it will be over a weekend. Stay in touch by emailing me direct. Thanks.

Mal B here it is.

Brink ... what?

Andy needs to check this out too he's homesick for Gord country. The previous post as you found out was for another of the Gord lonely Brits. Sounds like you have a large group out there Silverheels.

It's starting to look pretty healthy, Brink.
If all Gord-Brit fans would like to email me direct at Silverheels7@aol.com, we could really start to plan in earnest.
Let's hear from you guys!

Thanks Brink.
Sounds like a great idea but September might be difficult for me.
However I will be at the Fylde festival in Fleetwood 3/4/5 Sept doing my bit to keep GL's music in the public domain! Anyone else going?
I shall watch this space with interest.
Regards to all.

That bully John insists that I display the superb logo he has so kindly and carefully designed for the planned gathering next year in the North of England

Many thanks John for your sterling efforts.
All I need now is some reaction from all the Brit readers here!!!!

(John, I do hope this works.)

you will have to be punished for that one, Mr. Fowles!

Bringing this one to the top- again - as I am told there are some new Brits in the forum these days.
Please contact me if you are interested in joining the GordFestUK2005.

Cranking this one back to the top to ask a simple question, Is it going to happen?

Hopefully Bru will get things moving again when she returns from Toronto. If not, I'll give her a gentle kick !! :D

Well All Right.
I have now restored my logo to my site:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo...dfestlogo5.jpg
There was a "mini" Brit gathering in Toronto last week (Me Bru and Paul from Norwich) and there could have been a fourth if
the partying arrangements had been more widely diseminated here in time, because I see that Londoner Dan O'Malley
who had said on topic:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003173#000006
"I am also off to Toronto tuesday morning, leaving Gatwick airport in London at 11:15 am!! Got a ticket for saturday's show
and cannot wait! (I'll worry about the expense when I return!)

--------------------
Dan O'Malley
"
He was apparently at all four concerts and broke away to post a note here under the name "<Dan O'Malley> unregistered" at:-
http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ul...1;t=003173;p=0
where he informed us on Sunday 22nd
"I made it! Saw Gord all 4 nights and met the man himself last night. He signed my ticket and I got a photo of the two of us.
Still a bit shell shocked! I'm using the internet cafe in chapters bookstore on john street, sadly going home tomorrow. But
it was all well worth it"
Sorry Dan I did try to let you know what was going on with other corfidians in Toronto in my private message to you dated May 15th in which I pasted the entire contents of an email from Janice telling you that:-
"there will be an open house of sorts on Wednesday from 4-6 pm in my suite"
and moreover:-
"There will be a post concert room party in my suite each night, Wednesday - Saturday"
also:-
"On Saturday, in addition to the post concert party, we are arranging for a pre-concert gathering over dinner at City Grill
in Eaton Centre "
which I see you read presumably before you left the UK.I was therefore disappointed not to meet you there.
I also as soon as I got back from Toronto on Thursday (19th) posted a reminder on both corfid and the Newsgroup of the plans...
(on corfid at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...f=1;t=003191.)
which was mostt likely too late for you to see.
at the post concert party on Saturday at one point an unknown gent/(possible gate crasher) appeared sporting a D18GL tee shirt and apparently infornmed somebody that he was the owner of number 3 but although I later realised that it might be Dan who I have a suspicion once said that he had an 18GL,I failed to find out who this person was so as he did not make a point
of telling us that he was a Brit I guess it was not Dan.
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo...dfestlogo5.jpg
If it takes place in 2006 I will of course modify the logo to form the basis of an "attendees" badge

Anyway I do hope that a rekindled interest in a Brit Gordfest will lead to a gathering especialy since neither Alan Paynter,Gaby or Jim Nasium made it to Toronto on this occasion. Depending on the timing it is even possible that I can persuade Susan to brave the Atlantic flight again.
